Stip and [Proposed] Order Re: Extension of Rebuttal Expert Disclosure Deadline - 2 -

The Court previously granted a stipulation and proposed order extending the date 

for expert disclosures from January 15, 2016, to March 15, 2016, and extending the date 

for rebuttal expert disclosures from March 18, 2016, to May 17, 2016. (Dkt. No. 30). 

The Court then granted a stipulation and proposed order extending the date for expert 

disclosures from March 15, 2016, to April 29, 2016, extending the date for rebuttal expert 

disclosures from May 17, 2016, to June 3, 2016, and extending the discovery cut-off 

deadline from August 26, 2016, to October 14, 2016. (Dkt. No. 31)

The Court then granted a stipulation and proposed order extending the date for expert 

disclosures from April 29, 2016, to May 6, 2016, extending the date for rebuttal expert 

disclosures from June 3, 2016, to June 10, 2016. (Dkt. No. 34)

The parties seek this further extension of the deadline for rebuttal expert 

disclosures because nearly two dozen experts and their reports were exchanged on May 

6, 2016, and, due to trial commitments and vacation schedules, additional time is needed 

to determine whether and to what extent rebuttal expert disclosures are necessary and to 

secure reports from rebuttal experts for the exchange.

Thus, the parties hereby stipulate and propose that the current pre-trial date be 

revised as follows:

Event Current Date Proposed Date

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures June 10, 2016 July 11, 2016

The parties do not request any alteration of other dates at this time, and expect to 

be able to proceed on the current post-discovery schedule. Because this stipulation 

does not seek to alter the trial date, it "may be heard and decided by the assigned 

Magistrate Judge." (ECF 24 at 5:9).

Respectfully submitted,

Dated: May 19, 2016 RICE & BLOOMFIELD, LLP
