class certification shall be filed no later than April 1, 2016. 

Plaintiffs shall disclose the identity of their class certification experts no later than 

February 1, 2016. Defendants shall disclose the identity of rebuttal experts, if any, no

The Court will resolve all other disputed dates and deadlines not relevant to class
