“Plaintiffs”), on the one hand, and Defendants Efrat Okev (“Efrat”), Lloyd Burton (“Lloyd”), 

and Augzenta, Inc. (“Augzenta”) (collectively “Defendants”) on the other hand (Plaintiffs and 

Defendants collectively referred to as the “Parties”) with respect to the following recitals of fact:

RECITALS

A. The deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses is currently set for December 29, 

2014.

B. The Parties have submitted a Stipulation that proposes new dates for expert 

disclosure and discovery and confirms the Parties are in settlement negotiations and that 

continuance of the deadlines would further the possibility of settlement and will not result in the 

continuance of any other deadlines if negotiations are not successful.

In light of the information provided in the Stipulation, the court finds good cause for 

continuing the deadlines as requested, and accordingly:

IT IS ORDERED THAT:

1. The date for the Parties to make their expert disclosures in accordance with Rule 

26(a)(2) is extended to February 13, 2015.

2. All expert discovery shall be completed by March 27, 2015.

3. All other pretrial and trial deadlines shall remain unchanged.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 5, 2015
