WHEREAS by its Notice of Settlement Conference and Settlement Conference Order 

(ECF No. 231) (the “Settlement Conference Order”) Chief Magistrate Judge Spero has ordered 

all parties and lead trial counsel to appear at the June 13 settlement conference and the parties to 

submit Settlement Conference Statements by 12:30 p.m. on June 10, 2016; and 

WHEREAS to allow for the parties to comply with the order for the settlement 

conference so that a meaningful settlement conference may be conducted they will be required to 

spend significant time between the date and time of this Stipulation and the settlement 

conference to prepare their submissions to the Chief Magistrate Judge, to consult with their 

respective clients concerning the matters required to be addressed by the parties in response to 

the Settlement Conference Order from Magistrate Judge Spero and otherwise prepare for the 

settlement conference, and for certain of the required participants to travel from out of state to 

participate in the settlement conference; and 

WHEREAS the parties believe that the time required to prepare for and participate in the 

settlement conference will make it difficult for them to complete certain pretrial tasks in the 

timeframes previously ordered by the Court; and 

WHEREAS the parties have met and conferred regarding the foregoing and agree that 

under the circumstances there is good cause to request a short extension of certain of the pretrial 

deadlines in light of the developments associated with the court-ordered settlement conference, 

so that the parties can focus on settlement efforts over the next several days; and 

WHEREAS the parties are not requesting any continuance of the August 15, 2016 trial 

date or July 19, 2016 pre-trial conference set forth in the Court’s October 19, 2015 First 

Amended Case Management and Pretrial Order (ECF No. 146); 

THEREFORE, good cause existing, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by 

and between the parties hereto, through their counsel of record, that they jointly request a 

modification of certain pretrial deadlines, and respectfully request the Court to adopt the 

following new deadlines: 

1. The Parties respectfully request that the deadline for completion of expert 

discovery be extended from June 24, 2016 to July 1, 2016;
