 Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2, Plaintiff Chip-Mender, Inc. (“Plaintiff”) and defendant The 

Sherwin-Williams Company (“Defendant”), by their undersigned counsel, hereby submit the 

following Stipulation and Proposed Order Modifying the Case Management and Pretrial 

Schedule. In particular, the parties seek to modify the schedule relating to the disclosure of 

rebuttal experts, the close of expert discovery, the last day to hear dispositive motions, and the 

trial date. By and through counsel, Plaintiff and Defendant stipulate as follows: 

 1. This Court’s Case Management and Pretrial Order, dated January 6, 2006, set the 

following schedule: 

• Disclosure of rebuttal experts and service of rebuttal expert reports: 

 February 26, 2007; 

• Close of expert/willfulness discovery: March 19, 2007; 

• Last day to hear dispositive motions: April 18, 2007. 

 2. Lead counsel for Plaintiff, Kenneth B. Wilson, has taken an indefinite leave of 

absence for personal and medical reasons. Stefani E. Shanberg has assumed the role of lead 

counsel, and Mr. Wilson’s leave also necessitates the integration of new team members. In light 

of the change in lead counsel and the need for new team members to integrate, Plaintiff has asked 

to modify certain Court-ordered deadlines. Defendant has agreed to this modification. 

Accordingly, the parties have agreed to the following modified schedule: 

• Disclosure of rebuttal experts and service of rebuttal expert reports: 

 March 5, 2007; 

• Close of expert/willfulness discovery: April 13, 2007; 

• Last day to hear dispositive motions: May 30, 2007; 

• Pretrial Conference: August 30, 2007; 

• Trial: September 24, 2007. 

 3. The original date for hearing dispositive motions is particularly problematic given 

that Ms. Shanberg has a preexisting commitment to be in Japan on that date. Pursuant to the 

Court’s Pretrial Instructions, extending the date for hearing dispositive motions necessitates 

moving the trial date in order to maintain 120-days between the modified date for hearing of 

dispositive motion and the trial date. Accordingly, the parties have agreed that the trial date

should be moved from August 20, 2007 to September 24, 2007. This allows for a 120-day period 

between the modified date for hearing of dispositive motions and the trial date, as specified the 

Court’s Pretrial Instructions, to be maintained. The pretrial conference date should be set for 

August 30, 2007. 

 4. The dates for Late Neutral Evaluation are not effected by these extensions of time.
