ORDER

As a preliminary matter, the Court notes that this is the parties’ fourth

stipulation and request to reset the trial date. (Docs. 16; 32; 39; 44. See also Docs. 

9; 17; 33; 40; 45.) To move this case to trial before the Honorable Anthony W. 

Ishii, the non-dispositive and dispositive motion deadlines, pre-trial conference, and 

trial dates shall remain as set in the Court’s May 8, 2015, scheduling order. 

(Doc. 40.) Based on the parties’ stipulation, however, the Court will modify the 

July 30, 2015, scheduling order to grant the parties an extension of time to complete

expert discovery, and to file dispositive and non-dispositive motions. 

Accordingly, discovery deadlines and motion filing deadlines are set as 

follows:

Non Expert Discovery Cutoff: October 26, 2015.

Expert Disclosure: October 30, 2015.

Supplemental Expert Disclosure: November 5, 2015.

Expert Discovery cutoff: November 12, 2015.

Non Dispositive Motions:

Filing: November 16, 2015.

Hearing: December 16, 2015.

Dispositive Motions:

Filing: November 16, 2015.

Hearing: December 21, 2015.

Pre-Trial Conference: January 27, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., Ctrm. 2.

Trial: March 22, 2016, at 8:30 a.m., in Ctrm. 2.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
