PURSUANT TO CIVIL LOCAL RULE 144 (Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A)), THE 

PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE, THROUGH THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD, AS 

FOLLOWS:

1. The parties worked together in good faith to accomplish the necessary discovery and 

depositions. Most non-expert discovery has been completed with the exception of 

two witnesses who have been difficult to locate and serve a subpoena upon for their 

depositions.

2. The majority of the discovery remaining in order for the case to be ready for trial is 

expert disclosures and expert discovery.

3. However, before the parties expend the substantial, additional attorney time and costs 

associated with expert disclosures and expert discovery, they have agreed that it 

would make sense to participate in an ADR session – either via private mediation or a 

settlement conference with a Magistrate Judge – to ascertain whether the case is 

resolvable. If the case is not resolvable, then litigation will resume shortly after the 

ADR session.

4. In order to provide the necessary time to schedule and meaningfully participate in an 

ADR session, while conserving the attorney time and costs associated with expert 

disclosures and expert discovery, it is necessary to extend the remaining deadlines by 

approximately 90 days. The reason that an extension of 90 days is requested is 

because, if the trial is continued, the undersigned counsel is unavailable for trial until 

May of 2024, so the extension of dates is intended to coincide with a May 7, 2024,

jury trial.

5. The parties to this action believe that with a modest continuance of 90 days for all 

successive deadlines on the scheduling order, including the pretrial and trial dates, an 

ADR session can be scheduled, in which the parties will participate in good faith; if 

the case does not resolve, expert disclosures and expert discovery can be timely 

completed and the case will be ready to proceed to trial.
