RECITALS 

WHEREAS, Defendant Nestle Purina Petcare Company has filed motions to exclude 

the expert reports, opinions, and testimony of Plaintiffs’ experts, Dr. Jena Questen and Dr. John 

H. Tegzes (Dkts. 109, 110, 124) (the “Motions to Strike Expert Testimony”) and a motion to 

strike the supplemental report of Dr. Jena Questen (Dkt. 109) (the “Motion to Strike 

Supplemental Report”); 

WHEREAS, the Motions to Strike Expert Testimony were noticed for hearing on 

October 27, 2016, the same day as the hearing on Defendant’s summary judgment motion; 

WHEREAS, the Motion to Strike Supplemental Report was noticed for hearing on 

September 15, 2016; 

WHEREAS, the parties previously entered into a stipulated briefing schedule for the 

motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 104). Under that briefing schedule, Plaintiffs’ opposition 

to the motion for summary judgment is due on September 22, 2016 and Defendant’s reply in 

support of the motion for summary judgment is due on October 13, 2016. 

WHEREAS, because all of the above motions involve overlapping issues, the parties 

agree that it would be most efficient and expedient to coordinate the briefing schedule and 

hearing date for the Motions to Strike Expert Testimony with the briefing schedule for the 

motion for summary judgment and coordinate the hearing on the Motion to Strike 

Supplemental Report with the hearing on the motion for summary judgment. 

WHEREAS counsel for the parties have conferred and agree. 

STIPULATION 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by all Plaintiffs and Defendant, by and through their 

respective counsel, that: 

1. The briefing schedule for the Motions to Exclude Expert Testimony will be the 

same briefing schedule as the motion for summary judgment.
