THIRD STIPULATED APPLICATION FOR 

AMENDMENT TO SCHEDULING ORDER; 

[PROPOSED] FURTHER AMENDED 

SCHEDULING ORDER 

 

The remaining parties to this action, plaintiff PROXIM 

CORPORATION and defendant MID-AMERICA OVERSEAS, INC., hereby 

stipulate and agree as follows: 

 1. This matter is currently set for a Preliminary Pretrial 

and Trial Setting Conference on November 19, 2007, at 11:00 a.m. 

The Pretrial Scheduling Order has twice been amended at the 

request of the parties. The reason that the parties requested 

amended Scheduling Orders relates to the pendency of a related 

action that Proxim Corporation filed against Maritime Insurance

Company (“MIC”) and its affiliate, Eastern Marine Underwriters 

(“EMU”), in the Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Ontario, 

Canada. (MIC was a defendant in this present action but was 

dismissed on the basis of a forum-selection clause in the 

pertinent insurance policy.) The trial in the Canadian action is 

currently scheduled to begin on May 14, 2007 (but may trail for a 

week and not actually begin until May 21st). 

 3. At the time of their previous requests for the amended 

Scheduling Orders, Proxim and Mid-America believed that a 

resolution of the Canadian action would benefit both parties in 

facilitating their assessments of their positions here, and could 

well lead to a settlement of Proxim’s claims against Mid-America. 

Conversely, if both actions continued on pace for trial, it was 

possible that the results in the two actions could be 

inconsistent and thus prejudice either Proxim or Mid-America. 

 4. The reasons that motivated Proxim and Mid-America to 

seek the former amendment still exist. In order to maximize the 

potential savings of costs by the parties and judicial resources, 

the parties request that this Court continue the Preliminary 

Pretrial and Trial Setting Conference as well as all associated 

dates set forth in the currently applicable Scheduling Order for 

approximately 120 days. Both parties believe that a substantial 

further extension of these dates would allow the Canadian action 

to run its course and thus alleviate the parties’ concerns 

relating to the overlapping of issues in the two actions in light 

of the fact that Maritime Insurance is not present in this action 

and Mid-America is not present in the Canadian action.

5. Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree that the 

Second Amended Scheduling Order, which was filed on April 18, 

2006, be further amended and that the following dates be 

established. (Those parts of the initial Scheduling Order that 

do not relate to dates or deadlines shall remain in force and 

effect): 

D. Disclosure of Expert Witnesses

26(a)(2)(B) on or before September 7, 2007 for the plaintiff and 

September 28, 2007 for the defendant. 

8. Any party objecting to the qualifications or proposed 

testimony of an expert must file, serve and notice a motion to 

exclude the expert or any portion of the expert’s testimony in 

writing in accordance with Civil Local Rule 7-2, for hearing no 

later than December 10, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. 

 E. Rebuttal Expert Witnesses

9. If the testimony of the expert is intended solely to 

contradict or rebut opinion testimony on the same subject matter 

identified by another party, the party proffering a rebuttal

26(a)(2)(B), no later than October 29, 2007. 

 G. Close of Discovery

 10. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 26-2, all discovery, including
