STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: 

SUMMARY JUDGMENT BRIEFING AND HEARING

Deadline to file motion for summary judgment ................................... September 16, 2022 

Deadline to file opposition to motion for summary judgment .................... October 7, 2022 

Deadline to file reply in support of motion for summary judgment .......... October 21, 2022 

Hearing on summary judgment ............................................................... November 4, 2022 

The reasons for this stipulation are as follows: 

According to the Scheduling Order (ECF 46), the deadlines for completing expert discovery and 

hearing dispositive motions are August 26 and October 21, 2022, respectively. According to the Court’s 

website, however, there is no civil law and motion on October 21, 2022, and the only available hearing 

date before that deadline is October 7, 2022. Further, after the entry of the Scheduling Order in this 

case, Local Rule 230 was amended to increase the time required between filing and hearing motions. 

Pursuant to the Court’s standing order (ECF 47), the parties have met and conferred regarding 

Defendant’s anticipated motion, and based on the substance of the motion, the parties’ schedules, and 

the Court’s available hearing dates, they have arrived at the foregoing proposed schedule for briefing 

and hearing the motion, subject to Court approval.
