SCHEDULING ORDER

STIPULATION

WHEREAS the parties have been engaged in active discovery in this litigation and 

are facing substantial costs and time relative to the outstanding discovery matters;

WHEREAS, the parties continue to participate in a productive and extensive

mediation, which began on on August 3, 2011, with David Geronemous, Esq. of JAMS in an attempt 

to resolve the present case; 

WHEREAS the parties continue exchanging informal discovery in connection with 

their attempt to reach a mediated resolution in this case;

WHEREAS, in lieu of just seeking to extend the present discovery schedule so as to 

permit its completion (at significant time and expense), the parties believe it would be pragmatic and 

practical to extend the current scheduling order;

WHEREAS, successful mediation of the matter would obviate the burden and 

expense of additional formal discovery and motion practice:

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Court’s 

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, filed September 17, 2010, as modified by Court’s orders on 

November 4, 2010, December 9, 2010, February 18, 2011, March 23, 2011, April 25, 2011, and

extended from November 11, 2011, to March 12, 2012.

2. The pre-certification expert disclosure schedule shall be modified as 

follows:

a. The time for each party to designate in writing, file with the court, and

November 30, 2011, to March 30, 2012.

b. The time for pre-certification rebuttal expert disclosures and written 

reports shall be extended from December 28, 2011 to April 30, 2012.
