STIPULATION FOR AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATION OF DATES IN CASE MANAGEMENT

AND PRETRIAL ORDER; [PROPOSED] ORDER]

Plaintiffs Corthera, Inc. and Thomas G. Wiggans ("Plaintiffs") and Defendant Scottsdale 

Insurance Company (“Scottsdale”), by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate 

and request that the Court amend and modify certain dates in the Case Management and Pretrial 

Order for Jury Trial ("CMPO") (ECF No. 31). The parties stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS, on May 28, 2015, the parties filed an Updated Joint Case Management 

Statement (ECF No. 29), which proposed various scheduling deadlines, and on June 5, 2015, the 

Court entered a CMPO adopting those proposed deadlines; 

WHEREAS, when the parties filed an Updated Joint Case Management Statement on 

May 28, 2015, they were not in agreement that cross-motions for summary judgment on all 

significant issues of law would likely result in a narrowing of issues in the case; 

WHEREAS, since the entry of the CMPO, the parties have served and responded to 

written discovery, including requests for production of documents and special interrogatories, 

and even though the parties have exchanged deficiency letters and are attempting to meet and 

confer to resolve these deficiencies, now believe that there are enough undisputed facts for the 

parties to move for summary judgment or partial summary judgment on one or more issues and 

that such motions could narrow the issues, decrease the number of depositions necessary to 

prepare for trial, and/or could potentially lead to settlement;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Scottsdale stipulate and agree that in order to try to narrow 

the issues, prevent duplication and/or unnecessary effort and to promote judicial economy, 

certain deadlines in the CMPO should be amended and modified to allow for (1) a period for 

resolution of any germane (and limited) written discovery issues; (2) a timeframe and schedule 

for briefing and a hearing on cross-motions for summary judgment or partial summary 

judgment, including a timeframe to attempt to agree on a joint statement of undisputed facts; 

and (3) a timeframe following a ruling on the motions for summary judgment to complete nonexpert and expert discovery, including the taking of any depositions; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED BY PLAINTIFFS AND 

SCOTTSDALE THAT:
