In Re General Capacitor

Case No. 16-CV- 2458 HSG Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Re Modifying Scheduling Order

WHEREAS the additional time to meet and confer would make it possible or more feasible 

to comply with the Magistrate’s Order re Discovery Procedures insofar as it requires of the meet 

and confer process, followed by the filing of a negotiated joint statement on all outstanding 

disputes, limited to five pages, before or in lieu of motions to compel; 

WHEREAS certain of the outstanding discovery issues may impact some of the parties' 

expert witnesses' opinions and reports;

WHEREAS pursuant to the current Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 57), fact discovery closed 

on September 30, 2017 and, per Civil Local Rule 37-3, the deadline to file motions to compel 

discovery is tomorrow, October 7, 2017;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the current Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 57), the deadline for 

parties to exchange opening expert reports is Sunday, October 15, 2017.

WHEREAS it would save judicial and party resources to continue the deadline to file 

motions to compel and to commensurately continue expert deadlines, so as to potentially avoid 

discovery motion practice;

WHEREAS a brief two-week continuance of the deadline to file motions to compel and the 

expert witness deadlines would not affect any of the other case dates or deadlines; and

WHEREAS, for the foregoing reasons, there is good cause to modify the scheduling order,

NOW THEREFORE, the parties stipulate and request that the Scheduling Order be 

modified as follows:

Litigation Event Current Date New Date

Motion to Compel Discovery Deadline October 7, 2017 October 20, 2017

Exchange Opening Expert Reports October 15, 2017 October 27, 2017

Exchange Rebuttal Expert Reports November 15, 2017 November 29, 2017

Close of Expert Discovery December 15, 2017 December 29, 2017

All other dates remain the same.
