STIPULATION 

WHEREAS, all parties to the above-entitled action, by and through their counsel of 

record, met and conferred on October 10, 2014 as well as before that date regarding an extension 

of the non-expert and expert discovery cut-off dates; 

WHEREAS, the current Scheduling Order (Dkt. 33) sets forth the following deadlines: 

Expert Disclosures: 10/14/2014 

Supplemental Expert Disclosures: 11/10/2014 

Non-Expert Discovery: 9/2/2014 

Expert Discovery: 12/15/2014 

WHEREAS, the parties already stipulated to an extension of the non-expert discovery 

cut-off to October 31, 2014, in order to accommodate the schedules of deponents and account for 

other delays in the production of documents, inter alia, that were outside the control of counsel; 

WHEREAS, the parties have completed a substantial amount of discovery, but wish to 

continue to attempt to accommodate the schedules of deponents as much as is practicable, so as 

to minimize the inconvenience to both deponents and to parties in completing the remaining 

depositions. Additionally, there are medical records that have been subpoenaed by the defense, 

which have not yet arrived pursuant to the parties’ first look agreement at the office of Plaintiff’s 

counsel; defense counsel needs these records before a meaningful deposition of the Plaintiff can 

occur. In sum, reconciling the schedules of Defense counsel, Plaintiff’s counsel, and the various 

lay witnesses, in order to complete the remainder of the depositions and then forward relevant 

materials to experts for their review, requires additional time. 

Based on the circumstances described above, the parties now respectfully and jointly 

request that the court issue an amended scheduling order, which maintains the same NonDispositive Motion and Dispositive Motion filing deadlines, as well as the same Pretrial 

Conference and Jury Trial dates as previously ordered, but which extends only the discovery 

deadlines, as set forth below.
