ORDER

/

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiffs CRIME, JUSTICE 

& AMERICA, INC. and RAY HRDLICKA and Defendant JERRY SMITH, by and through their 

undersigned Counsel, pursuant to Local Rules 143 as follows:

1. The parties respectfully request that the District Court modify the Amended Pretrial

discovery cutoff date, based on good cause appearing therefore as more fully set forth below.

2. On July 17, 2013, the Court issued an Amended Pretrial Scheduling Order modifying 

certain discovery cutoff dates. Specifically, the Court set the following deadlines:

Close of discovery January 10, 2014

Expert witness disclosure deadline March 10, 2014

Supplemental and Rebuttal witness disclosure deadline March 30, 2014

Pretrial motion hearing deadline July 3, 2014 

Pretrial Conference September 11, 2014

Trial November 17, 2014 

3. The parties recently engaged in private mediation on December 13, 2013. The parties 

wish to continue those discussions in good faith. Moreover, the calendars of counsel for the parties 

have become congested to the point of mutually requiring additional time to complete discovery in 

light of the continued discussions.

4. The parties previously requested once before to extend the discovery deadline. With 

this request, no other dates are being requested to be modified.

5. Therefore, the parties respectfully submit that good cause exists to revise the Amended 

Pretrial Scheduling Order dated July 17, 2013, and therefore request modifications of the Pretrial 

Scheduling Order as to the close of discovery only to extend the deadline to March 10, 2014. All

other dates are to remain unchanged.

This Stipulation may be signed in counterparts and any facsimile or electronic signature shall be 

as valid as an original signature.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
