shall be disclosed and reports produced in accordance with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule

26(a)(2) on or before February 29, 2016; all expert discovery shall be so conducted as to be completed 

by April 1, 2016. 

 WHEREAS, Pallets Unlimited, LLC had filed a motion to modify the scheduling order to 

seek further fact discovery and OHL has opposed that motion, which was pending before the Court for 

decision. In light of such a motion being filed, some of the parties believed that their experts will not

have all the information necessary to prepare their reports and will not be able to make their initial 

reports in the short time left before the deadline for expert disclosure. The Court recently made a 

decision on the order, denying the motion. Nevertheless, in the short time available, the experts will not 

be able to make their reports.

 WHEREAS, it is the intent of the parties to move the expert disclosure and rebuttal dates 

forward by two weeks at this time to give all parties sufficient time to disclose their experts. 

WHEREAS, the parties have been discussing moving the trial date for two months and will 

shortly file another stipulation regarding same.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through 

their respective counsel and subject to the Court’s approval, that good cause has been shown and the 

Scheduling Order shall be clarified as follows, subject to further modification upon a showing of good 

cause under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 16(b). 

Expert Discovery: The parties shall disclose experts and produce reports in accordance with 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 26(a)(2), no later than February 16, 2016; with regard to expert 

testimony intended solely for rebuttal, those experts shall be disclosed and reports produced in 

accordance with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, rule 26(a)(2), on or before March 15, 2016.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
