STIPULATED REQUEST AND ORDER TO

CASE NO. 2:20-CV-00235-KJM-DB 

-2- 

Plaintiff Cutera, Inc. (“Plaintiff” or “Cutera”) and Defendant Lutronic Aesthetics, 

Inc. (“Defendant” or “Lutronic”), together the “Parties,” by and through their respective 

counsel of record, hereby submit the following joint request to amend further the Court’s 

Scheduling Order in this matter as set forth in their proposed order: 

RECITALS 

A. The Parties are involved in a related and ongoing arbitration proceeding with 

JAMS (JAMS Reference No. 1110025250) involving Cutera and ten (10) current Lutronic 

employees formerly employed by Cutera (the “Lutronic Respondents”); 

B. The Parties have agreed that the discovery from the JAMS matter, and 

specifically, the discovery obtained from an arbitrator-appointed neutral forensics 

examiner, Daniel Garrie, may be used in this matter; 

C. The Court’s August 4, 2020, Scheduling Order memorialized the Parties’ 

agreement that discovery in their related JAMS proceeding shall be shared in this case, 

subject to the Federal Rules; 

D. This Court three times previously extended the pretrial deadlines below 

because of the significant time involved in forensically examining, collecting, and 

conducting a privilege review of the huge number of documents generated in ESI 

discovery; 

E. Per the Court’s April 25, 2022 Order [Doc. 76] the current deadlines are as 

follows: 

1. Fact discovery shall be completed by November 7, 2022. 

2. Expert disclosures shall be completed by December 2, 2022. 

3. Rebuttal expert witnesses shall be exchanged by January 10, 2023 

4. Expert discovery shall be completed by February 3, 2023. 

5. All dispositive motions shall be heard by March 10, 2023. 

F. The parties continue to engage in extensive forensics discovery, both in the 

JAMS proceeding and in this case;

-3- 

G. The Parties are still currently engaged in responding to each other’s requests 

for production, which require extensive ESI discovery as well as non-ESI searches and 

inquiry; 

H. Within the past week, both parties have produced documents in response to 

requests for production. The parties have been extensively meeting and conferring 

regarding discovery, but both parties anticipate that each will need to bring a motion to 

compel once the meet and confer processes have been completed; 

I. The Parties anticipate further written discovery and deposition discovery in 

addition to discovery outstanding; 

J. Plaintiff brought a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, 

which was heard on March 5, 2022. Defendant did not oppose adding new claims against 

it, but did oppose adding a new party, Lutronic Corporation. The Court has issued its ruling 

on the motion, permitting Plaintiff to add additional claims; 

K. The Parties believe that due to the current status of discovery, the extensive 

discovery remaining, and other work needed to ready the case for settlement or trial, good 

cause exists to extend the fact discovery, expert, and dispositive motion schedule set forth 

in the Court’s Scheduling Order by 180 days, as set forth below and subject to this Court’s 

approval; 

STIPULATION 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties to request the Court 

to amend the Scheduling Order, as follows: 

1. Fact discovery shall be completed by May 7, 2023. 

2. Expert disclosures shall be completed by June 2, 2023. 

3. Rebuttal expert witnesses shall be exchanged by July 10, 2023. 

4. Expert discovery shall be completed by August 3, 2023.
