schedule only provides seven days between the deadline to complete expert discovery and the

WHEREAS, the Parties do not propose any change in the trial schedule or the remainder of 

the pretrial schedule;

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

to the approval of the Court, to continue the deadline to file dispositive motions from June 28, 2018 

to July 6, 2018 with the opposition due on July 20, 2018, reply due on July 26, 2018, and the 

hearing on August 9, 2018.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
