Defendants”). Pursuant to this Stipulation, the parties jointly request the Court to modify the pretrial 

dates set out in its previous Case Management Scheduling Order entered on December 13, 2017 

(Dkt. No. 232, the “Scheduling Order”), as well as other dates, as set forth below.

RECITALS

A. The course and schedule of events in this case have caused the parties to reevaluate 

the remaining dates set in the Court’s previous Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 232), which are presently 

as follows:

• August 30, 2018: Last day to conduct meet and confer session (per the 

Court’s Jury Trial Standing Order, Section A).

x September 13, 2018: Last day to file Motions in Limine, and last day to 

file Joint Pretrial Statement and Proposed Order (per the Court’s Jury 

Trial Standing Order, Section B).

x October 4, 2018: Oppositions to Motions in Limine due

x October 18, 2018, at 10:00 a.m.: Final Pretrial Conference

B. The parties request the Court to revise the pretrial dates set out in the previous 

Scheduling Order for the following reasons:

1. The Court’s request to revise the scheduling order due to the delay in the 

hearing on the Motions for Summary Judgment.

2. The parties are mindful of the Court’s busy docket, and that it may take 

considerable time for the Court to issue a summary judgment order after the hearing on those 

motions.

WHEREFORE, the parties hereby agree and request entry of an order as follows:

AGREEMENT

1. The parties request the Court to consider modifying the scheduling guidelines set out 

in its Jury Trial Standing Order in this case as follows:

a. September 12, 2018: Last day to conduct meet and confer session (per the 

Court’s Jury Trial Standing Order, Section A).

b. October 18, 2018: Last day to file Motions in Limine, and last day to file
