supplementation has been completed.

C. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

By agreement of the parties, this matter is referred to private ADR, to be conducted by 

December 30, 2016. The parties shall promptly notify the Court whether the case is resolved. 

D. PROCEDURE FOR AMENDING THIS ORDER

No provision of this order may be changed except by written order of this Court upon its 

own motion or upon motion of one or more parties made pursuant to Civil. L. R. 7-1 upon a 

showing of very good cause. A motion may take the form of a stipulation and proposed order 

pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-1(a)(5) and Civil L.R. 7-12, but the parties may not modify the pretrial 

schedule by stipulation without a Court order. If the modification sought is an extension of a 

deadline contained herein, the motion must be brought before expiration of that deadline. A 

conflict with a court date set after the date of this order does not constitute good cause. The parties 

are advised that if they stipulate to a change in the discovery schedule, they do so at their own risk. 

The only discovery schedule that the Court will enforce is the one set in this order. Additionally, 

briefing schedules that are specifically set by the Court may not be altered by stipulation without a 

Court order; rather the parties must obtain leave of Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 8, 2016
