Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, the parties have reached an agreement to modify the Expert 

Discovery Cut-off Date. The proposed modified date will not alter the trial date in this case. On July 

31, 2006, the Court entered its Amended Pretrial Preparation Order, setting deadlines leading up to the 

trial in this case. On November 14, 2006, the Court approved a stipulation changing some of those 

deadlines. On January 12, 2007, the Court approved a second stipulation changing some of those 

deadlines. Because expert discovery is not yet complete, and the parties agree they need only a few 

more days to obtain access to the necessary information from experts, the parties agree that the Expert 

Discovery Cut-off date should be altered as follows:

Event Current Deadline New Deadline 

Expert Discovery Cutoff

February 28, 2007 March 7, 2007 for 

damages experts; 

March 2, 2007 for 

all other experts. 

 All other deadlines and dates will remain in place.
