The parties to this action, by and through their attorneys of record, hereby 

stipulate as follows: 

1. In order to comply with meet and confer requirements regarding 

discovery disputes, the parties continued to confer and produce additional 

documents and supplemental discovery responses up to and including October 9, 

2007, the date upon which discovery motions were due. Through those meet and 

confer efforts, additional documents and information was provided by both 

Plaintiff and Defendants that will need to be examined by the proposed expert 

witnesses in this matter to insure that disclosures are complete. 

2. To insure an adequate time for all parties to prepare expert witness 

disclosures before the private mediation agreed between the parties, the parties 

have agreed to extend the date for expert disclosures from October 12, 2007, to 

October 24, 2007. The deadline to disclose rebuttal experts shall be extended to 

November 7, 2007. Expert discovery will be completed no later than November 

21, 2007, and the parties agree to work in good faith to schedule depositions. 

3. The parties will complete private mediation by November 16, 2007, 

consistent with prior order of the Court.
