STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR

LIMITED EXTENSION OF NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY CUTOFF DATE

STIPULATION

1. The Court previously ordered a deadline of April 1, 2020, for the completion of 

non-expert discovery. See Order dated Sep. 25, 2019. [Docket No. 50]

2. Counsel for Plaintiffs contends that certain discovery responses previously 

provided by Defendant – particularly, Defendant’s Supplemental Responses to Interrogatories, 

Sets One and Two, and Supplemental Responses to Requests for Production, Sets One and Two

– are deficient.

3. Counsels for the Parties have met and conferred, via written correspondence and 

telephone, regarding said contention.

4. Counsels for the Parties believe that the issues can be resolved informally, 

without having to request a Telephonic Discovery Dispute Conference, or file a Motion to 

Compel Further Responses.

5. Counsel for Defendant believes that further information, or a response to 

Plaintiffs’ contentions, can be provided in approximately seven (7) days.

6. In light of the upcoming non-expert discovery deadline, the Parties respectfully 

request that the Court extend the non-expert discovery deadline by seven (7) days – to April 8, 

2020 – solely with respect to the Supplemental Responses expressly identified herein.

7. This is the first such extension requested by the Parties. Counsel for the Parties do 

not believe this extension, if granted, will impact the other deadlines ordered by the Court.
