The latest update in the XRP lawsuit saw both parties come together to file for an extension on one of the expert deposition’s deadline. Expert discovery is currently scheduled to close on January 14, 2022. However, due to conflicts in schedules of various experts and of the counsel responsible for those depositions, the parties have appealed the court to grant them till January 19, 2022, i.e., three business days after the existing close of expert discovery.

Both parties have noted that being in sync with the former deadline, they have disclosed a total of 16 experts witnesses. Furthermore, depositions for 15 of those 16 experts is either completed or scheduled to occur by the former deadline. The parties have appealed for this extension in good cause. Additionally, they have determined that this specific rescheduling will not effect other case deadlines, given the urgency of the matter.
