issued a revised Case Management Order setting October 21, 2016, as last date for the disclosure 

of expert witnesses, October 31, 2016, as the last date for the disclosure of rebuttal expert 

witnesses, and November 15, 2016, as the last date to complete all discovery, including the 

deposition of expert witnesses;

control, important testimony that would be helpful for both parties' expert witnesses is not 

available until after the last date for the disclosure of expert witnesses;

in the parties’ expert discovery dates will benefit both parties, and will not inhibit or postpone

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED among the undersigned parties that:
