STIPULATION AND PROPOSED REGARDING FACT DISCOVERY AND EXPERT REPORTS CASE NO: C 03 05669 JW (RS) 

The Regents, MTI, and Boston Scientific stipulate and agree to an additional short 

extension of time on the fact discovery deadline. Declaration of Michelle M. Umberger ¶ 3 

(“Umberger Decl.”). This is to accommodate deposition schedules for certain witnesses. Id. The 

new fact discovery deadline will be extended from January 16, 2007 to January 19, 2007 for all 

claims, except that: 

(1) The parties have agreed that the depositions of Tom Wilder (on January 26, 2007), 

Phong Pham (on a date to be determined), and James Corbett (on February 9, 2007) 

may be taken after the January 19, 2007 fact discovery deadline. Id. 

(2) The Regents and MTI had previously agreed that the last day to respond to requests 

for authentication of documents shall be April 23, 2007, which is closer to the 

pretrial conference. Id.; see also Stipulation And Proposed Order Regarding Leave 

To File Supplemental And Amended Pleadings (Dkt. 361) at 2. Boston Scientific 

now joins this stipulation, and agrees that the last day to respond to requests for 

authentication of documents shall be April 23, 2007. Umberger Decl. ¶ 3. 

The Regents and MTI have made one other request to change the date of fact discovery 

(from December 15, 2006 to January 16, 2007). See Stipulation And Proposed Order Regarding 

Leave To File Supplemental And Amended Pleadings (Dkt. 361) at 2. The parties are not asking 

to disturb the trial date set for June 5, 2007, and this extension shall not effect the schedule in this 

matter except as stated herein. Umberger Decl. ¶ 5. 

The Regents, MTI and Boston Scientific also stipulate and agree that any motions to 

compel must be filed by January 30, 2007, consistent with the Local Rules. 

The Regents, MTI, and Boston Scientific also stipulate and agree to a modest extension of 

time for service of expert reports. Umberger Decl. ¶ 4. This is to accommodate the extension of 

fact discovery. Id. The parties agree as follows: 

(1) The deadline for Opening Expert Disclosures and Reports will be extended from 

January 16, 2007 to February 6, 2007; 

(2) The deadline for Rebuttal Expert Disclosures and Reports will be extended from 

February 15, 2007 to March 1, 2007;

effect the schedule in this matter except as stated herein. Umberger Decl. ¶ 5.
