Inc., by and through its counsel of record, Kenney & Markowitz, L.L.P. The parties stipulate as

follows: 

1. On June 29, 2009, this Court issued its first Case Management and Pretrial Order in 

this case with a trial date of December 6, 2010, and other dates set by the Court accordingly, 

including a factual discovery cut-off date of April 5, 2010; 

2. On November 3, 2009, the plaintiffs requested that AMS provide

employees/officers for several depositions pursuant to Rule 30(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure; 

3. On January 9, 2010, defendant provided plaintiff with the dates of January 27, 28 

and 29, 2010 for the Rule 30(b)(6) depositions in Minnesota. On January 15, 2010, plaintiffs 

served their notices of depositions by mail accompanied by several requests for production of 

documents to AMS; 

4. AMS objected to plaintiffs’ deposition notices because they gave less than 30 days 

notice as required by Rule 34 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The parties dispute the 

notice requirements for depositions that are accompanied by requests for production of documents. 

However, the parties have agreed to postpone the depositions in order for AMS to respond to the

requests for production of documents prior to the depositions. To provide additional time for

discovery, with the Court’s permission, the parties also stipulate to an extension of the discovery 

cut-off date and accompanying dates within the Pretrial Order dated June 29, 2009; 

5. For good cause, the parties stipulate to and respectfully request that the Court 

continue the discovery dates within Pretrial Order and accompanying dates as follows; 

DISCOVERY 

Non-Expert Discovery Cutoff June 4, 2010 

Designation of Plaintiffs’ Experts with Reports July 9, 2010 

Designation of Defendant’s Experts with Reports July 23, 2010 

Designation of Rebuttal Experts with Reports August 6, 2010
