STIPULATION TO MODIFY THE PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER; ORDER

TO THE HONORABLE COURT: 

Plaintiffs RLC Industries, Inc. and Roseburg Forest Products Co. (collectively 

“Roseburg”), and Defendant Liberty Insurance Corporation (“Liberty”) (collectively “the 

Parties”), by and through their attorneys of record, enter into the following stipulation for 

an Order modifying the Court’s Scheduling Order (ECF 5) to briefly continue the 

completion date for expert depositions and the expert discovery cutoff by two weeks. 

I. RECITALS.

WHEREAS: 

1. On April 7, 2023, the Court issued its Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order. 

(ECF 5). 

2. On July 11, 2023, the Court issued a Minute Order advising the Parties to 

submit any request to modify the Court’s Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order through a 

Stipulation and Proposed Order for the Court’s consideration. (ECF 25). 

3. On December 19, 2023, the Court granted Roseburg’s and Liberty’s request 

to modify the Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order. (ECF 32). The Order continued the nonexpert discovery completion date from January 19, 2024 to May 3, 2024. 

4. On June 28, 2024, the Court granted the Parties’ request to modify expert 

discovery deadlines. (ECF 66). The Order continued the deadline for initial expert 

witness disclosures from July 5, 2024 to August 2, 2024 and rebuttal expert disclosures 

from August 2, 2024 to August 30, 2024. The Parties timely served their initial and 

rebuttal disclosures, and identified a total of eight (8) retained and non-retained expert 

witnesses. 

5. The Court also granted the Parties’ request to modify the expert deposition 

and cutoff deadlines. (ECF 66). The current Order requires the Parties to complete expert 

depositions by October 25, 2024. The expert discovery cutoff date is November 22, 2024. 

6. The Parties have scheduled six of the eight depositions to take place before 

the October 25, 2024 deadline. However, based on the experts’ and counsel’s availability, 

two of the expert witnesses are not available for deposition until after October 25, 2024.

7. Based on their experts’ and counsel’s schedules, the Parties have agreed, and 

seek the Court’s approval, to extend the deadline to take expert depositions for two weeks 

until to November 8, 2024, and the expert discovery cutoff for two weeks to December 6, 

2024. 

II. STIPULATION. 

Therefore, the Parties, by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate to an 

order from the Court extending the expert deposition completion deadline in this matter to: 

● November 8, 2024: Last Day to Depose Expert Witnesses 

● December 6, 2024: Expert Discovery Cutoff 

All other dates in the Court’s prior Scheduling Orders will remain the same. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
