JOINT STIPULATION AND MOTION TO STAY AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO STAY

JOINT STIPULATION AND MOTION TO STAY

WHEREAS, on October 23, 2013, the Court issued a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order 

(“Order”) setting various case deadlines;

WHEREAS, pursuant to that Order, fact discovery is to be completed by July 27, 2014, 

initial expert witness disclosures are due on or before March 28, 2014, and any contradictory 

and/or rebuttal expert disclosures are due on or before April 28, 2014;

WHEREAS, subsequent to the entry of that Order, the parties have been engaging in 

meaningful settlement discussions and require a stay and extension of case deadlines to facilitate 

further settlement discussions and potential resolution of the case; 

WHEREAS, this is the first such request for a stay and extension regarding the 

calendared dates impacted by this Joint Stipulation and Motion; and

WHEREAS, the parties believe this requested stay may be granted without impacting the 

trial date set in the case to take place on March 31, 2015;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, SUBJECT TO 

THE APPROVAL OF THE COURT:

1. The case is hereby stayed in all respects, including discovery and all other currently 

calendared dates, for a period of 120 days.

2. The parties will notify the Court if a settlement is reached. If the parties do not reach 

settlement, they will so notify the Court and request a new case schedule setting new 

deadlines. Should the parties require additional time to complete their negotiations at 

the end of the 120 days and finalize a settlement agreement, the parties will jointly 

request that the stay be extended.

In light of the parties’ representation that they have been engaging in meaningful

(1) Non-expert discovery shall be completed by January 15, 2015. Expert discovery 

shall be completed by February 16, 2015;

(2) each party shall comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(c)(i)’s 

initial expert witness disclosure requirements on or before August 16, 2014, and any

before September 16, 2014;

(3) the last hearing date for motions is March 16, 2015, commencing 9:00 a.m.;

(4) the final pretrial conference is rescheduled to commence at 2:30 p.m. on May 

18, 2015; a joint status report shall be filed fourteen days prior to the hearing; and,
