The parties have jointly moved the Court for an extension of the fact discovery deadline. (Doc.

No. 277.) For good cause shown, the joint motion is GRANTED, and the Court amends its April 13,

2010, scheduling order as follows:

1. Any party, through any expert designated, shall in accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(C)

and Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(e), supplement any of its expert reports regarding evidence intended solely to

contradict or rebut evidence on the same subject matter identified in an expert report submitted by

another party. Any such supplemental reports are due on or before June 9, 2011.

2. All discovery, excluding expert discovery, shall be completed on or before June 17, 2011. Expert

discovery shall be completed on or before July 7, 2011. “Completed” means that all discovery under

Rules 30-36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure must be initiated a sufficient period of time in

advance of the cut-off date, so that it may be completed by the cut-off date, taking into account the times

for services, notice, and response as set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. All disputes
