WHEREAS, on September 13, 2013, the Court entered a minute order (Dkt. 

No. 1931) (1) requesting that the parties in the DAP actions and IPP actions submit a new 

stipulated scheduling order for those cases; and (2) maintaining the trial date in the DPP 

actions; and 

 WHEREAS, on October 7, 2013, the Court entered a Stipulation and Order 

Regarding Scheduling (Dkt. No. 1991) setting a revised schedule for the IPP actions and 

DAP actions; and 

 WHEREAS, on November 4, 2013, the Court entered an Order on Trial 

Schedule for the Direct Purchaser Action (Dkt. No. 2096)1

 in which it (1) clarified that the 

deadlines in the DPP actions for expert discovery, fact discovery, dispositive motion 

practice and mediation were to have remained the same as those set in the Court’s March 

13, 2013 order (Dkt. No. 1595), and (2) modified all other deadlines in the DPP actions to 

conform with the Court’s October 7, 2013 scheduling order for the IPP and DAP actions 

(Dkt. No. 1991), including setting the DPP actions for trial on March 9, 2015, the same 

date as the IPP and DAP actions; and 

 WHEREAS, the schedule set by the Court’s March 13, 2013 order (Dkt. No. 

1595) would have required the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs to serve their merits expert 

reports by October 23, 2013 (which had already passed), with Defendants’ expert reports 

due on November 22, 2013; and 

 WHEREAS, in light of continuing settlement negotiations, the Direct 

Purchaser Plaintiffs have not yet served their opening expert reports and require additional 

time to prepare those reports, while the Defendants in the DPP actions are unable to 

finalize their expert reports until they have received Plaintiffs’ reports; and 

 

1

 On the same day, the Court entered an Amended Order on Trial Schedule for Direct 

Purchaser Action (Dkt. No. 2105) to correct a “typographical error” in Docket No. 

2096.

and IPP actions for the service of expert reports and close of expert discovery only, as set 

in the Court’s October 7, 2013 order (Dkt. No. 1991) are reasonable and should also apply

3. July 22, 2014 shall be the last day for the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs 

to serve rebuttal expert reports on the merits and the last day for the Defendants in the DPP 

actions to serve rebuttal expert reports on affirmative defenses. 

4. The close of expert discovery in the DPP actions shall be September 

5, 2014. 

5. All other deadlines in the DPP actions shall remain the same as set in 

the Court’s November 4, 2013 Order and Amended Order on Trial Schedule for Direct 

Purchaser Action (Dkt. Nos. 2096 & 2105). 

 The undersigned parties jointly and respectfully request that the Court enter 

this stipulation as an order.
