STIPULATION & [PROPOSED] ORDER RE REVISING COURT’S SCHEDULE ORDER 

CASE NO. 1:14-CV-01377 JAM-JLT 

Scheduling) Order (Dkt. 37) as follows: 

I. 

RECITALS 

1. The parties have been working diligently toward moving this case forward in an 

efficient, expeditious manner. The following deadlines are currently in place: 

 The deadline to complete initial expert witness disclosures is March 25, 2016; 

 The deadline for rebuttal expert disclosures is April 12, 2016; 

 The deadline for all discovery to be completed is May 20, 2016; 

 The deadline for hearing of dispositive motions is July 12, 2016; 

 The final pre-trial conference is August 26, 2016; 

 The trial date is October 17, 2016. 

2. Despite the parties’ diligent efforts, the parties anticipate that it will be difficult to 

engage in expert disclosures by the current deadline of March 25, 2016. The parties also recognize 

that the expert deadlines can be continued without impacting the other dates and deadlines in the 

current Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order. For these reasons, the parties have agreed to stipulate 

to a proposed order continuing the deadline for expert disclosure, rebuttal disclosure, and the 

discovery deadline. 

3. The parties also wish to have a brief discovery window after the hearing on a 

dispositive motion to schedule depositions that will be unnecessary for the motion, which might be 

avoided if the motion is granted. 

4. The parties are mindful of the pretrial dates and deadlines in the current Status (PreTrial Scheduling) Order, including the Pretrial Conference and deadline to submit the Joint Pretrial 

Statement. The parties do not anticipate any issues meeting those deadlines under the new dates for 

expert disclosures and deadline for all discovery. 

5. The parties do not seek to continue any deadlines other than the deadlines for expert 

disclosure, rebuttal disclosure, and completion of all discovery. The parties do not seek to continue 

the trial date or the pretrial conference date.
