WHEREAS, on February 25, 2016, the Court entered Pretrial Order No. 9 (Dkt. 

1252), which, in Paragraph 4.D.ii, requires the parties to endeavor to substantially complete their 

productions of non-privileged, responsive documents by December 2, 2016;

WHEREAS, Paragraph 4.D.ii of Pretrial Order No. 9 permits the parties to apply 

(jointly or separately) for an extension of this deadline for good cause shown;

WHEREAS, the parties have made, and continue to make, good faith efforts to 

produce non-privileged, responsive documents to the other parties;

WHEREAS, the parties believe that an extension of time to substantially complete 

production of non-privileged, responsive documents is necessary to, among other things, allow 

the parties time to continue discussing resolution of certain claims in this Action; and

WHEREAS, each party reserves its right to apply to the Court for a further 

extension or extensions. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and 

among the parties, that the deadline for the parties to endeavor to substantially complete their 

productions of non-privileged, responsive documents should be continued to March 3, 2017.
