WHEREAS the Parties completed fact discovery by the deadline of December 14, 

2018; 

WHEREAS, the Parties mediated this matter with Fred Butler, Esq. on December 

19, 2018. The case did not resolve; 

WHEREAS while the Parties were actively engaged in completing fact discovery 

to meet the cut-off and prepare for the December 19, 2018 mediation, the Parties deferred 

expert costs to attempt resolution. As mediation was unsuccessful, the Parties now desire 

to complete expert discovery and request a continuance of the current expert discovery 

deadlines by approximately one (1) month to provide sufficient time to complete expert 

discovery; 

WHEREAS, based on the progress of this case, an extension of the deadlines for 

expert discovery will allow the parties to appropriately prepare for trial; 

WHEREAS, the proposed extension of the deadlines for completing expert 

discovery will not delay or prejudice the timely resolution of this case; 

WHEREAS, the Parties are requesting a brief one (1) month continuance for expert 

disclosures, expert rebuttals, and the expert discovery cut-off; and 

WHEREAS, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) requires good cause and 

judicial consent as prerequisites to modifying a scheduling order. 

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE to, and seek an order from 

this Court permitting the following new expert discovery deadlines: 

Event Date
