STIPULATION AMENDING SCHEDULING

ORDER and 

AMENDED SCHEDULING ORDER 

The parties to the above action have exchanged and responded

to several sets of written discovery and completed at least five

depositions. Pursuant to this case’s April 5, 2005 and June 17,

2005 scheduling orders, non-expert discovery closed July 25,

2005.

Since the close of discovery, the parties have agreed to

plaintiffs’ propounding limited additional written discovery, as

well as the taking of two additional depositions. This

additional discovery will require the modification of certain

pre-trial dates as set forth below. Significantly, the case’s

present scheduling orders contain no pre-trial deadlines or

conferences between October 2005 and March 2006. As a result,

the parties believe that pre-trail dates can be moved without

affecting the case’s pre-trial conference or trial dates, which

are respectively scheduled to take place on March 3, 2006 and

April 18, 2006. 

The above scheduling orders contemplate the following pretrial deadlines: (1) initial expert disclosure on August 29,

2005, (2) supplemental expert disclosure on September 19, 2005,

(3) expert discovery closure on October 24, 2005, (4) nondispositive motion filing deadline on September 26, 2005, (5)

dispositive motion filing deadline on October 4, 2005 and (6)

settlement conference on October 18, 2005 (Ctrm 6). As specified

below, the parties stipulate to extending each of these dates in

order to accommodate the above-referenced additional discovery.

Good cause exists in support of this stipulation. The

parties agree to the above-referenced additional discovery in

part due to the fact that trial is not scheduled to take place

until April 2006. In addition, the parties agree that experts

should not be required to disclose reports until all discovery

relevant to their opinions is analyzed, including the transcripts

of depositions that have not yet taken place. The parties also

agree that motions should not be filed until discovery (including

potential expert discovery) is completed, and that a settlement

conference would be most meaningful if it took place after the

court rules on any or all motions filed.

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to the continuance

of this action’s deadlines as specified below. The parties also
