GIS’s third cross-appeal brief is due October 12, 2022 and Guardian’s option reply brief on 

cross-appeal is due twenty-one days thereafter. 

WHEREAS, in light of the current and foreseeable appellate activity in the related matter, 

the parties believe that an additional six (6) month extension on the above deadlines is

reasonable and necessary to avoid a potential waste of judicial resources and those of the parties

and promote efficiency and economy for the court and the parties;

WHEREAS, absent an extension, the parties would be required to complete discovery, 

along with potential non-dispositive and dispositive motions, in this matter at the same time they 

are engaged in a pending appeal in the related matter the outcome of which could potentially 

impact these proceedings, which would result in duplication of effort and unduly and 

unnecessarily strain the resources of both parties and their counsel.

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and REQUESTED by the parties that 

the Scheduling Order [Doc. 43] be further modified as follows:

Non-Expert Discovery: March 20, 2023

Expert Disclosures: April 24, 2023

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures: May 24, 2023
