Defendants shall depose any permissible rebuttal experts by 09/24/2021. As noted in the Court's order of 01/15/2021 #65 , nothing in this scheduling order constitutes a ruling on defendant Northwestern Memorial Hospital's objection to allowing plaintiff to disclose rebuttal expert reports and opinions, which defendant should renew, if appropriate, as the parties approach the expert rebuttal deadline after engaging in the Local Rule 37.2 meet and confer process.

Further joint status report on the same topics discussed in the parties' 04/12/2021 joint status report due on or before 05/31/2021. The parties should be mindful that, notwithstanding any preference to take depositions in person, they cannot expect this in the current environment, nor can they reasonably expect the case to be put on hold until that changes. To be more specific, the parties are to assume that all depositions will have to be taken by remote means (unless both sides and the witness consent to an in-person deposition) and are to plan accordingly. Delay due to a desire to take in-person depositions at a later date will not be a basis for extending any discovery deadline beyond the current deadline. The parties may contact chambers at any time (via email to Chambers_McShain@ilnd.uscourts.gov) if they would like the Court's assistance with settlement. Mailed notice. (pk, )

The parties' joint request to extend the fact discovery cut-off date to 10/16/2020 is granted. While the Court understands the difficulties that the parties have encountered in trying to depose numerous doctors and nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Court is not inclined to grant a further extension of the fact discovery cut-off date. Although it is unclear from the status report whether some or all of the depositions are proceeding remotely or in-person, the court advised the parties in its prior order extending the fact discovery cut-off date that they were "to assume that all depositions will have to be taken by remote means (unless both sides and the witness consent to an inperson deposition) and are to plan accordingly," and that "[d]elay due to a desire to take inperson depositions at a later date will not be a basis for further extending the close of fact discovery."
