ORDER
Before the Court are Defendants’ Emergency Motion for Protective Order Regarding the
Lescher Deposition (ECF No. 146); Brief in Support (ECF No. 147); and Appendix (ECF No.
148), all filed May 3, 2022. The Court issued an Order expediting briefing. ECF No. 149. In the
meantime, Lescher was not required to attend deposition. Id. Plaintiffs responded on May 9 (ECF
No. 152), and Defendants replied on May 11 (ECF No. 153).
In an attempt to accommodate the demands on the VCNO’s schedule, as well as Plaintiffs’
counsel’s vacation dates, the Court ORDERS that the deposition take place on a mutually
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.
SO ORDERED on this 11th day of May, 2022.
