convenient date between June 30, 2022 and July 8, 2022, in or near Washington, D.C. While
scheduling conflicts are difficult for all, the Court ORDERS counsel and the deponent make
themselves available within this window.
As required by the Court’s Order on the Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 150), the parties shall
file an updated Joint Report with proposed discovery deadlines now that the Court has resolved
the Emergency Motion. See Joint Report, ECF No. 142.
