Pursuant to Local Rule 143, the Parties hereto, by and through their respective counsel, stipulate 

to extend the time for discovery, including expert witness disclosure and rebuttal expert witness 

disclosure, as well as the time for hearing any dispositive motion, in order to allow the parties time to 

explore mediation before incurring additional litigation costs. 

The parties jointly propose continuing the following deadlines as set forth below:

Initial Disclosure of Expert Witnesses: current deadline of December 6, 2013.

Proposed new deadline: January 24, 2014.

Disclosure of Rebuttal Expert Witnesses: current deadline of January 6, 2014.

Proposed new deadline: February 7, 2014.

Discovery closes: current deadline of February 28, 2014.

Proposed new deadline: March 28, 2014.

Last day for hearing dispositive motions: current deadline of April 21, 2014.

Proposed new deadline: May 5, 2014.

 WHEREAS, the parties wish to explore alternative dispute resolution through mediation before 

continuing with further discovery in an attempt to minimize litigation costs;

WHEREAS, this request is not being made of the purposes of delay, or any other improper 

purpose;

WHEREAS, continuing the deadlines for completing the disclosure of expert witnesses and 

other discovery, as well as the filing and hearing of dispositive motions will not prejudice any party or 

their counsel; and 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed by Plaintiffs and Defendants, 

through their respective attorneys of record, that this Court continue the deadlines as set forth above. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
