STIPULATION TO CHANGE EXPERT

DISCLOSURE DATES AND

SCHEDULING ORDER

This Stipulation is entered into by and between plaintiffs ALICE HOMES and VERNON

HOLMES and defendants HOME DEPOT USA, INC.; MTD CONSUMER GROUP, INC.;

BRIGGS & STRATTON CORPORATION; and WALBRO ENGINE MANAGEMENT LLC (sued

herein as Walbro Corporation) (collectively referred to as the “Parties”). The Parties have conferred

and agreed to continue the expert disclosure dates for sixty (60) days. 

The Stipulation is necessary because defendants intend to schedule independent medical

exams with ALICE HOLMES and VERNON HOLMES. ALICE HOLMES has continuing health

issues, including a recent knee surgery, that has delayed her ability to participate in an independent

medical exam.
