08Cm 

plaintiff PHH Mortgage Corporation submit this stipulation and proposed order to extend the 

deadlines for expert witness disclosure and dispositive motions, as currently set forth in the 

Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller’s December 12, 2016, Minute Order (Dkt. No. 51).1 In 

accordance with the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller’s Standing Order: 

 (A) The existing deadlines for expert witness disclosure and dispositive motions are as 

follows: 

DISCLOSURE OF EXPERT WITNESSES 

 Disclosure of Expert Witnesses March 8, 2017; 

 Disclosure of Supplemental Expert Witnesses March 28, 2017; 

 Expert Discovery April 25, 2017;2

 DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS May 23, 2017. 

 (B) There is good cause for the Court to grant this extension because counsel for 

plaintiff PHH Mortgage Corporation and defendant Barrett Daffin Frappier Treder & Weiss, LLP 

are currently exploring settlement options and would like to continue these options before they 

engage in extensive expert discovery. As such, the parties request that the Court extend the 

upcoming expert disclosure deadline for thirty (30) days. Additionally, the parties request that the 

 

1 On December 12, 2016, the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller issued a Minute Order (Dkt. 

No. 51) extending the deadlines for discovery, expert witness disclosure, and dispositive motions 

by thirty-two (32) days. These deadlines were previously set forth in the Status (Pretrial 

Scheduling) Order (Dkt. No. 46), which was signed by the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller on 

July 19, 2016. 

2

 In the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order (Dkt. No. 46), signed on July 19, 2016, the 

Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller stated that (1) expert witnesses must be disclosed not later than 

February 3, 2017, (2) supplemental expert witnesses must be disclosed not later than February 24, 

2017, and (3) “[a]ll expert discovery shall be completed by March 24, 2017.” In the December 12, 

2016, Minute Order (Dkt. No. 51), the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller extended those first two 

deadlines (the expert witness disclosure deadline and the supplemental expert witness disclosure 

deadline). However, the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller did not address the third deadline (the 

date that all expert discovery must be completed) in the December 12, 2016, Minute Order (Dkt. 

No. 51). Because the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller extended all the other deadlines by thirtytwo (32) days, per the parties’ stipulation, the parties presume that the Honorable Kimberly J. 

Mueller also extended the date that “[a]ll expert discovery must be completed by” thirty-two (32) 

days (from March 24, 2017 to April 25, 2017).

Court extend the deadline for dispositive motions due to its proximity to the expert disclosure 

deadline. 

(C) On December 9, 2016, the parties filed a stipulation requesting a thirty-two (32) 

day extension of the deadlines for discovery, expert witness disclosure, and dispositive motions. 

On December 12, 2016, the Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller issued a Minute Order, granting the 

parties’ request for an extension. 

THEREFORE, pursuant to this stipulation, Eastern District Local Rule 144, and the 

Honorable Kimberly J. Mueller’s Standing Order, the parties respectfully request the Court enter 

an order extending the deadlines for expert witness disclosure and dispositive motions thirty (30) 

days as follows: 

DISCLOSURE OF EXPERT WITNESSES 

 Disclosure of Expert Witnesses April 7, 2017; 

 Disclosure of Supplemental Expert Witnesses April 27, 2017;
