On August 2, 2006, the Court entered a scheduling order pursuant to stipulation of the parties 

setting the fact discovery cut-off for December 22, 2006. 

The parties have agreed to mediate this action before Antonio C. Piazza on November 12, 

2006. 

At defendants’ request, the parties have agreed to halt discovery on defendants pending the 

outcome of the mediation. 

Due to the mediation and partial discovery stay, the parties agree that the fact discovery cutoff should be extended and request that the Court modify the August 2, 2006 scheduling order as 

follows: 

1. Fact discovery shall be completed by March 16, 2007; 

2. Discovery motions shall be filed by April 17, 2007; 

3. Expert disclosures shall be made by May 18, 2007; 

4. Supplemental expert disclosures shall be made by June 1, 2007; 

5. Expert discovery shall be completed by June 15, 2007; 

6. Dispositive motions shall be heard by October 19, 2007;
