Plaintiffs Elizabeth Park and Carolyn Otto and Defendant Welch Foods, Inc., A Cooperative 

(“Welch’s”) hereby stipulate through their respective counsel, as follows: 

1. Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification was filed on January 12, 2015. 

2. The Opposition brief of Welch’s was originally due on February 23, 2015, but was 

extended to May 12 by prior stipulation of the parties, as approved by the Court. 

3. Despite the joint efforts of counsel, the parties have not been able to complete the out-ofstate depositions of the expert witnesses in time for the transcripts to be available for the 

Opposition brief. 

4. Counsel have worked together to schedule the depositions of Plaintiffs’ three experts, Dr. 

Capps, Dr. Caswell, Dr. Scarbrough, for the last week of May and first week of June. 

5. In the meantime, counsel have had some additional scheduling issues that have arisen, 

including an upcoming arbitration and a period of active duty military service in June. 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate as follows:

6. Good cause exists to move the Opposition, Reply and Hearing dates, because both sides 

need a fair opportunity to complete the expert witness depositions and utilize the 

transcripts in the briefing. 

7. Subject to the approval of the Court, the briefing schedule will be extended as follows: 

Welch’s Opposition: June 26, 2015 

Plaintiff’s Reply: July 23, 2015 

Hearing: August 18, 2015 (Tuesday, at 10:00 AM) 

8. Other dates in the Scheduling Order will be adjusted as necessary, by further order of the 

Court.
