The parties to the above-entitled action, through their undersigned counsel, hereby 

stipulate and agree to the following: 

WHEREAS, on September 24, 2015, the Court entered a Case Management Scheduling 

Order (“Scheduling Order”), setting the deadline for the parties to disclose their expert witnesses 

for April 15, 2016. See Dkt #42.

WHEREAS, the Scheduling Order set the deadline for the parties to designate their 

supplemental and rebuttal experts on or before May 13, 2016. See Dkt #42.

WHEREAS, the Scheduling Order set the deadline for the parties to complete all 

discovery of expert witnesses for June 17, 2016. See Dkt #42.

WHEREAS, the Scheduling Order set the deadline for all pretrial motions to be heard by 

July 28, 2016. See Dkt #42.

WHEREAS, on January 8, 2016, the Court entered an Order to Extend Time to 

Complete Mediation in this case by July 17, 2016. See Dkt #45.

WHEREAS, since the entry of the Scheduling Order and the Order to Extend Time to 

Complete Mediation, the parties have been attempting to resolve certain written discovery 

disputes without the Court’s intervention. 

WHEREAS, the parties resolved that they need additional time to schedule depositions 

critical to the mediation prior to making their expert witness disclosures. 

WHEREAS, the parties need additional time to evaluate the strength of their respective 

cases and determine whether expert witnesses will be needed. 

 WHEREAS, after the deadline to complete all disclosure of expert witnesses pursuant to

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(4), the parties need the opportunity to file pretrial motions 

in order to address any evidentiary or other issues related to the expert witnesses. 

 WHEREAS, this extension will not affect the trial date of October 17, 2016. See Dkt.

#42.

 WHEREAS, the parties make this request in good faith and not for the purposes of delay.
