and order, the deadlines for dispositive motion filing and dispositive motion hearings were 

continued by approximately one month. The discovery cut-off and the disclosure of expert 

witnesses were continued by approximately two months. The trial date was continued by only two 

weeks to April 4, 2011. 

5. On September 16, 2010, the Court entered a modified order pursuant to the parties’ 

Stipulation to Modify Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order. Pursuant to that Stipulation and Order the 

deadline for filing dispositive motions was extended to January 26, 2011, hearing on such motions 

was set for February 23, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom #6, and the deadline to complete discovery 

was extended to January 11, 2011. Trial was continued to May 16, 2011. 

6. The attorneys for both parties have been working diligently to meet each deadline set 

forth in the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order and each amendment thereto. Specifically, initial 

written discovery has been exchanged, defendants’ and plaintiff’s responses to discovery have been 

served. Notices for depositions have been served by the parties, and depositions not completed as 

of this date have been tentatively scheduled. Expert depositions are in the scheduling process. 

Third party depositions have been noticed, and the parties are awaiting confirmation of the dates for 

same. The parties continue to strive to proceed in a manner that will permit the orderly progression 

of the case. To this end, the parties believe discovery must be complete prior to the filing of 

dispositive motions. 

7. Despite best efforts and professional cooperation between counsel for the parties, 

counsel for the parties find that they are unable to meet the current deadlines for certain portions of 

the pretrial schedule and therefore mutually request that the Court enter an order modifying certain 

pretrial and trial deadlines as well as continue the currently scheduled trial date. 

8. Specifically, the parties request that following changes be made to the current 

scheduling order: 

a. Motion Hearing Schedule: 

All dispositive motions shall be filed by April 18, 2011. Hearing on such 

motions shall be on May 25, 2011 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom #6.
