“Plaintiffs”),	on	the	one	hand,	and	Defendants	Efrat	Okev	(“Efrat”),	Lloyd	Burton	(“Lloyd”),	

and	Augzenta	Inc.	(“Augzenta”)(collectively	“Defendants) on	the	other	hand	(Plaintiffs	and	

Defendants	collectively	referred	to	as	the	“Parties”)	with	respect	to	the	following	recitals	of	

fact:

Recitals

A. The	deadline	for	disclosure	of	expert	witnesses	and	their	initial	reports	is	

February	13,	2015 and	the	deadline	for	the	completion	of	expert	witness	discovery	is	March	

27,	2015.

B. The	Parties	have	submitted	a Stipulation	that	proposes	new	dates	for	expert	

disclosure	and	discovery	and	confirms	the	Parties	are	in	settlement	negotiations	and	that	

continuance	of	the	deadlines	would	further	the	possibility	of	settlement	and	will	not	result	in	

the	continuance	of	any other	deadlines	if	negotiations	are	not	successful.

In	light	of	the	information	provided	in	the	Stipulation,	the	court	finds	good	cause	for	

continuing	the	deadlines	as	requested,	and	accordingly:

IT	IS	ORDERED	THAT:

1. The	date	for	the	Parties	to	make	their	expert	disclosures	in	accordance	with	

Rule	26(a)(2) is	extended to	May	13,	2015.

2. All	expert	discovery	shall	be	completed	by June	30,	2015.

3. All other	pretrial	and	trial	deadlines	shall	remain	unchanged.

IT	IS	SO	ORDERED.
