Vanz, LLC v. PMD Financial Group, LLC et al

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Vanz, LLC
v. Civil No. 17-cv-145-LM
PMD Financial Group, LLC, et al.
NOTICE OF RULING
Re: Doc. No. 18 – Motion for Leave to Take Geisler Deposition
Outside Discovery Period. Granted in Part.
Given plaintiff’s timely attempt to seek admission of Craig
Geisler’s previous deposition testimony, the practical
difficulties in obtaining his deposition, and defendants’
familiarity with the witness, the court concludes that there is
good cause to permit the deposition of Geisler beyond the
deadline for completion of discovery. See P.R. Med. Emergency
Grp., Inc. v. Iglesia Episcopal Puertorriquena, Inc., 319 F.R.D.
65, 69 (D.P.R. 2016). The court denies plaintiff’s motion
insofar as he seeks reconsideration of the court’s May 14, 2018
order. See Ocasio-Hernandez v. Fortuno-Burset, 777 F.3d 1, 9
(1st Cir. 2015).
• Plaintiff shall have sixty days from the date of this order
to conduct Geisler’s deposition.

• Plaintiff shall have fifteen days from the date of
Geisler’s deposition to file its objection to defendants’
motion for summary judgment.
Otherwise, the deadlines for the filing of a reply or surreply
are those set forth in the local rules. Defendants may
supplement their motion for summary judgment based on Geisler’s
deposition by way of their reply brief.
SO ORDERED.
