Plaintiff Cutera, Inc. (“Plaintiff” or “Cutera”) and Defendant Lutronic Aesthetics, Inc. 

(“Defendant” or “Lutronic”), together the “Parties,” by and through their respective counsel of 

record, hereby submit the following joint request to amend the Court’s Scheduling Order in this 

matter as set forth in their proposed order: 

WHEREAS, the Parties are involved in a related and ongoing arbitration proceeding with 

JAMS (JAMS Reference No. 1110025250) involving Cutera and ten (10) current Lutronic 

employees formerly employed by Cutera (the “Lutronic Respondents”); 

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that the discovery from the JAMS matter, and 

specifically, the discovery obtained from an arbitrator-appointed neutral forensics examiner, 

Daniel Garrie, may be used in this matter; 

WHEREAS, the Court’s August 4, 2020, Scheduling Order memorialized the Parties’ 

agreement that discovery in their related JAMS proceeding shall be shared in this case, subject to 

the Federal Rules; 

WHEREAS, by order dated April 5, 2021, this Court previously extended the pretrial 

deadlines below because of the significant time involved in forensically examining, collecting, and 

conducting a privilege review of 54 devices and accounts of the Lutronic Respondents: 

1. Fact discovery shall be completed by November 1, 2021. 

2. Expert disclosures shall be completed by December 1, 2021. 

3. Rebuttal expert witnesses shall be exchanged by December 22, 2021. 

4. Expert discovery shall be completed by January 24, 2022. 

5. All dispositive motions shall be heard by February 23, 2022. 

WHEREAS, counsel for the Lutronic Respondents were provided with 863.15 gigabytes 

of data (i.e., approximately 21,578,750 printed pages) to review for privilege, and counsel for the 

Lutronic Respondents has completed that review as of August 2021; 

WHEREAS, the consultant retained by Plaintiff, Lighthouse has received the data 

described above and is processing it and making it available to Plaintiff’s counsel to review using 

Relativity;

WHEREAS, Lighthouse has provided much of the data described above but has 

encountered technical issues processing some of it, including, for example, email attachments; 

WHEREAS, Lighthouse and the e-discovery consultant for the Lutronic Respondents, 

Setec Investigations (“Setec”), are working together to overcome the technical issues referenced 

above; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel has not yet had access to or commenced its review of many 

of the files responsive to the Special Master’s search for documents responsive to the Parties’ 

agreed-upon search terms described above, and the slow forensics progress to date has delayed the 

Parties being able to undertake necessary discovery regarding their respective claims and defenses 

in this matter; 

WHEREAS, the Parties anticipate that Plaintiff’s counsel’s review of the data collected 

during the forensic examination process will be complete in approximately three months; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Forensic Protocol, within a “reasonable timeframe” of 

receiving the items that Cutera identifies, the Special Master will perform his forensic analysis on 

each file. 

WHEREAS, as set forth above, and in the declaration of the Special Master attached hereto, 

the Special Master and the Parties require additional time to complete the forensic examination 

process and discovery in both the JAMS matter and the instant case; 

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that due to the above-referenced forensics activities and 

resulting lapse of time it is necessary to, and good cause exists to, extend the fact discovery, expert, 

and dispositive motion schedule set forth in the Court’s Scheduling Order by 180 days, as set forth 

below and subject to this Court’s approval; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties, and subject to the Court’s 

approval, by and through the undersigned counsel, as follows: 

1. Fact discovery shall be completed by May 2, 2022. 

2. Expert disclosures shall be completed by May 31, 2022. 

3. Rebuttal expert witnesses shall be exchanged by June 20, 2022.
