The parties to the above-entitled action, through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate as 

follows: 

RECITALS 

1. At a Case Management Conference held on April 23, 2014, the Court adopted the 

pre-trial schedule proposed by the parties in their Joint Case Management Statement. 

2. That schedule established the following deadlines: 

 Designation of Experts: January 5, 2015 

 Designation of Rebuttal Experts: February 9, 2015 

 Close of Fact and Expert Discovery: March 9, 2015 

3. Upon further consideration, the parties agree that it would be beneficial to wait until 

after the close of fact discovery to designate experts. 

4. In light of this agreement, the parties agree and hereby propose to modify the existing 

expert discovery deadlines as follows: 

 Close of Fact Discovery: March 9, 2015 

 Designation of Experts: March 16, 2015 

 Expert Reports Due: April 6, 2015 

 Designation of Rebuttal Experts: April 22, 2015 

 Rebuttal Reports Due: May 6, 2015 

 Close of Expert Discovery: May 29, 2015 

5. The parties further stipulate that there is a chance that if the fact discovery deadline is 

changed, it may require a further adjustment of the expert witness schedule.
