report. Since the exchange of expert reports, the Parties have been meeting and 

conferring regarding the completion of expert discovery, including scheduling the 

depositions of six designated experts.

4. The Parties have now agreed upon a schedule for those six depositions. Given the 

number of depositions and the Thanksgiving holiday, such schedule requires certain 

depositions to occur after the current deadline for completing expert discovery. 

5. The Parties have accordingly agreed, subject to the Court’s approval, to continue the 

expert discovery deadlines and the deadline to file dispositive motions or motion to 

decertify. 

6. Moving these deadlines will not require moving any other pretrial or trial deadlines. 

The pretrial conference is currently set for April 6, 2018 and trial is scheduled to begin 

May 14, 2018. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate, subject 

to the approval of the Court, to the following revised schedule: 

December 27, 2017 Deadline for production of rebuttal reports 

January 10, 2018 Deadline for completion of expert discovery 

January 12, 2018 Deadline to file dispositive motions or motions to decertify 

 February 9, 2018 Deadline to file oppositions to dispositive motions or motions 

 to decertify 

 February 23, 2018 Deadline to file replies in support of dispositive motions or 

 motions to decertify 

 March 8, 2018 Hearing on dispositive motions or motions to decertify 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
