`
`
`Jim-
`
`We wanted to follow up on our discussion regarding increasing the limits for requests for admission,
`interrogatories, and depositions noted in the Scheduling Order (D.I. 28).
`
`Under Paragraph 3(d) of the Scheduling Order, a maximum of one hundred (100) RFAs are permitted
`for each party, exclusive of requests directed to document authentication. Under Paragraph 3(e), a
`maximum of twenty-five (25) ROGs—including contention ROGs—are permitted for each party. And
`Paragraph 3(f)(i) establishes a limitation of one hundred (100) hours of taking testimony of fact
`witnesses by deposition, for each side.
`
`Below is what we proposed on our phone call:
`
`
`Increasing the maximum number of RFAs to one hundred fifty (150), for each party;
`Increasing the maximum number of ROGs to forty (40), for each party; and
`Increasing the maximum number of deposition hours to one hundred (150), of taking
`testimony of fact witnesses by deposition, for each side; notably, all such hours would be
`exclusive of depositions of third-parties.
`
`
`Furthermore, we also agree to increase the number of testimony hours for a 30(b)(6) witness to 20
`hours and have also outlined a framework below for handling the 30(b)(6) depositions. Our proposal
`would be:
`
`
`Exchange 30(b)(6) topics prior to Dec. 30;
`Meet and Confer prior to Jan. 13; and
`Final Agreement prior to Jan. 27.
`
`
`Please let us know if you are in agreement with all of the above. We can then circulate a draft
`stipulation for your review.
