order pursuant to Local Rules 83-143 and 6-144 and respectfully withdraw its prior January 18, 

2006 Stipulation. 

On August 4, 2005, the Court issued a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order after reviewing the 

parties Joint Status Report providing for the following deadlines: 

Disclosure of Expert Witnesses January 31, 2006 

Disclosure of Rebuttal Expert Witness March 31, 2006 

Close of Discovery May 1, 2006 

All Discovery Motions Heard May 1, 2006 

Last Day for Filing Motions June 16, 2006 

Final Pretrial Conference August 28, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. 

Trial Date October 24, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. 

Subsequent to the Court’s August 4, 2005 Scheduling Order, the parties have been diligently 

pursuing written and oral discovery, including expert examination of the subject machines at issue 

in this case. The parties now seek to continue certain deadlines from the August 4, 2005 

Scheduling Order because of difficulties in scheduling the depositions of the insureds in this matter 

due to an illness in the insured’s family and also to allow the experts to arrange for and conduct a 

more detailed examination of the subject machines in a laboratory facility. To date, the deposition 

of the insured’s has not been finalized, although the parties expect that the depositions can be 

scheduled in February, 2006. The expert’s additional examination of the subject machines is 

currently scheduled to take place on February 21, 2006, and the experts will need some additional 

time after completing their inspections to prepare their expert reports. Therefore, the parties 

respectfully propose the following modifications to the Scheduling Order: 

Disclosure of Expert Witnesses March 15, 2006 

Disclosure of Rebuttal Expert Witness April 17, 2006 

Close of Discovery June 16, 2006 

All Discovery Motions Heard June 16, 2006 

Last Day for Filing Motions July 21, 2006 

Final Pretrial Conference October 23, 2006 at 10 a.m.

Trial Date December 12, 2006 at 9 a.m. 

On January 18, 2006, the parties submitted a similar Stipulation which did not propose any changes 

to the date of the Final Pretrial Conference or the Trial Date. However, plaintiff’s counsel received 

a call from the Court’s clerk suggesting that the proposed dates in the January 18, 2006 Stipulation 

would affect the Final Pretrial Conference and the Trial Date, and asked plaintiff’s counsel to 

provide agreeable dates. In response, the parties now seek to withdraw the January 18, 2006 

Stipulation and submit this Stipulated Request to Modify the Scheduling Order in its place which 

contain the parties’ recommendations for a modification of the Final Pretrial Conference and the 

Trial Date. 

This is the first extension of time sought by the parties. The parties’ stipulated request to 

modify the Scheduling Order is not sought for the purpose delay but is intended to allow the parties 

to complete discovery in a timely and professional manner without resort to unnecessary discovery 

motions and third-party subpoenas. 

Respectfully Submitted, 

Dated: January 30, 2006 HUBERT & YASUTAKE
