JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE EXTENSION 

OF THE EXPERT DISCOVERY CUTOFF IN THE SCHEDULING ORDER

Plaintiff Starbucks Corporation, Defendants and Cross-Claimants Amcor 

Packaging Distribution and Amcor Packaging (USA), Inc., Defendant, CrossClaimant and Third- Party Claimant Pallets Unlimited, LLC, and Third-Party 

Defendant Ozburn-Hessey Logistics, by and through their respective counsel of 

record, pursuant to L.R. 143 and 144, hereby stipulate as follows:

WHEREAS, the Parties in the above-captioned matter have been diligently 

proceeding with the completion of discovery;

WHEREAS, the Parties competed the exchange of all expert witness 

disclosures and reports (including materials intended solely for rebuttal) by the April 

12, 2016 deadline for the completion of expert disclosures set by the Court’s current 

scheduling order (the “Order”), most recently modified on March 7, 2016;

WHEREAS, the Order set a May 20, 2016 date for the completion of all expert 

discovery; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have disclosed a greater number of expert witnesses 

than any of the Parties had anticipated, including several expert witnesses located 

outside of California, making it difficult to coordinate travel for and complete the 

depositions of the Parties’ disclosed experts by May 20, 2016; 

WHEREAS, to accommodate the Parties’ and their expert witnesses’ 

schedules, the Parties agree that an extension of the expert discovery cutoff date will 

further the just, speedy, and inexpensive resolution of this action;

AND WHEREAS, the extension contemplated by the Parties will not require 

further extension of any of the existing deadlines set forth in the Order, including the 

July 1, 2016 cutoff date for filing dispositive motions, the September 2, 2016 pretrial 

conference and the November 8, 2016 jury trial. 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the 

Parties, and subject to the Court’s approval, that good cause has been shown under 

Case 2:13-cv-01754-WBS-DB Document 118 Filed 04/26/16 Page 2 of 4
