SEC v. Mark Cuban: Extension for Discovery and Supplemental Briefing

By Charles Nichols

In a motion filed January 22, both the SEC and Mark Cuban jointly requested an extension to complete discovery and to submit supplemental briefing on Mr. Cuban's motion for attorney's fees and expenses. Prior to this motion, the Court ordered discovery to be completed by February 1, 2010 and supplemental briefing within 21 days of that date.

The parties request the discovery deadlines be extended as follows:  (1) February 16 for responses to document requests and interrogatories; (2) February 22 to begin depositions; (3) March 1 for the filing of motions to compel; (4) if no motion to compel is filed, discovery would be completed by March 9; (5) if a motion to compel is filed, all depositions should be concluded within 14 days of the courts ruling on the motion; (6) Mr. Cuban's supplemental brief and evidence appendix shall be filed within 21 days of the completion of discovery; (7) the  SEC's supplemental brief and evidence appendix should be filed within 21 days of the filing of Mr. Cuban's supplemental brief; and (8) Mr. Cuban's supplemental reply brief shall be filed within 14 days of the SEC's brief.

The Court granted this motion on January 22, 2010 extending discovery dates as requested by both parties.
