3. The date set for the completion of Expert Discovery is July 3, 2016. 

4. The trial dates set for this matter are September 20, 21, 23, 27, 28, 30 and October 4, 5, 7, 11, 

12. 

5. Defendants filed their Motion for Summary Judgment on January 29, 2016. The earliest 

hearing date Defendants were able to obtain was July 21, 2016. 

6. On January 30, 2016, Counsel for the Plaintiff, Rey Hassan emailed Defendants’ Counsel 

requesting an extension of 4 Weeks (Four Weeks), besides the 35 days response time allowed 

by the local rules. Plaintiff's request for an extension is due to the four trials scheduled that the 

Counsel for the Plaintiff is involved. 

7. On January 30, 2016, the Counsel for Defendants, Julie F Stewart, replied to the request 

agreeing to a four weeks extension. 

8. Counsel for both parties have conferred and agree that continuing with expert discovery 

during the briefing of Defendants' motion for summary judgment and prior to this Court's 

decision on that motion, which could narrow and/or eliminate issues for trial would result in 

an unnecessary and wasteful expenditure of resources. 

9. Counsel for both parties therefore requests a six-month extension of all currently set deadlines 

in this matter. 

10. According to that agreement Counsel requests that this Court revise the deadlines for expert 

discovery as follows: 

a. Designation of Opening Experts with Reports by September 30, 2016 

b. Designation of Rebuttal Experts with Reports by October 15, 2016. 

c. Completion of Expert Discovery by January 27, 2017.

11. According to Counsel's agreement, the parties request that Plaintiff's date to respond to 

Defendants' motion for summary judgment be set for May 6, 2016 and Defendants' reply date 

be set for May 27, 2016. 

12. Based on the schedule proposed above, Counsel for both parties’ requests that the trial for this 

case be set in March 2017. 

13. The request for extension is due to Plaintiff's trial schedule and the fact that the earliest 

hearing date available on this Court's calendar for Defendants' summary judgment motion was 

July 21, 2016, which was several months after expert discovery deadlines and only two 

months before the currently set date for trial. 

STIPULATION

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, the parties hereby stipulate that: the Defendants’ Motion For 

Summary Judgment would still be heard on the date currently set for argument, July 21, 2016, 

and the plaintiff’s opposition to that motion would be due no later than May 6, 2016, and 

Defendants’ reply in support of the motion would be due no later than May 27, 2016.
