STIPULATION

WHEREAS, all parties to the above-entitled action, by and through their counsel of 

record, met and conferred recently regarding an extension of the non-expert discovery cut-off 

date;

WHEREAS, the current Scheduling Order (Dkt. 16) sets forth the following Discovery 

Deadlines and Expert Disclosure Deadlines:

Non-Expert Discovery: July 14, 2015

Expert Discovery: October 30, 2015

Expert Disclosure Deadlines:

Filing: August 18, 2015

Supplemental: September 15, 2015

WHEREAS, the parties have already completed a sizeable portion of the written 

discovery, but will need to address certain issues with the Magistrate Judge assigned to this 

matter concerning certain categories of discovery because the parties have reached an impasse. 

However, due to the trial schedules of counsel for the parties and due to other extraneous 

circumstances, there have been delays in counsel’s ability to resolve these issues and proceed 

with the discovery. Accordingly, the depositions that were scheduled had to all be placed on 

hold, pending the resolution of the documents at issue. Based on these circumstances, the 

parties require additional time to complete the non-expert discovery in this matter. 

Additionally, the parties wish to attempt to accommodate the schedules of deponents as much 

as is practicable, so as to minimize the inconvenience to both deponents and to parties in 

completing the remaining depositions. However, this will also require additional time. In sum, 

reconciling the schedules of Defense counsel, Plaintiff’s counsel, and the various lay witnesses, 

in order to both resolve the pending discovery and complete the depositions, requires additional 

time.

Based on the circumstances described above, the parties now respectfully and jointly 

request that the court issue an amended scheduling order, which maintains the same NonDispositive Motion and Dispositive Motion filing deadlines, as well as the same Pretrial

WHEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE and respectfully request that the
