JOINT STIPULATION TO FURTHER EXTEND TRIAL DEADLINES; ORDER 

Gordon & Rees LLP 

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 

San Francisco, CA 94111 

TO THE HONORABLE COURT: 

Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant Nutrishare, Inc. (“Nutrishare”) and Defendants/CounterClaimants Connecticut General Life Insurance Company and CIGNA Health and Life Insurance 

Company (“CIGNA”) (collectively, “Parties”) hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, on May 18, 2015, this Court issued an Order that modified the expert and 

fact discovery deadlines in its February 20, 2015 Amended Pretrial Scheduling Order in the 

interests of justice pursuant to stipulation of the Parties. 

WHEREAS, per the March 18, 2015 Order and February 20, 2015 Order, the pretrial 

deadlines were set as follows: 

 July 24, 2015 – Expert disclosure 

 July 31, 2015 – Rebuttal expert disclosure 

 September 18, 2015 – Discovery cutoff 

 October 21, 2015 – Dispositive motion filing deadline 

 November 18, 2015 – Motion hearing date 

 January 6, 2016 – Joint pretrial statement due 

 January 13, 206 – Final pre-trial conference 

 February 22, 2016 – Trial 

WHEREAS, the Parties have conducted a substantial amount of discovery, including 

written discovery, document production and the setting of depositions pursuant to Federal Rule 

of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) for July 30, 2015 and July 31, 2015. Written discovery and 

document production have led to discovery disputes which the Parties continue to attempt to 

resolve informally and without involvement of the Court, but significant issues have arisen that 

may prompt the Parties ultimately to file motions to compel/motions for protective order. 

WHEREAS, the Parties have also begun to engage their respective experts/consultants, 

and to prepare expert reports in advance of the expert disclosure deadline. 

WHEREAS, the Parties have continued their informal settlement discussions and now 

believe they have made enough progress in these discussions so that a productive mediation can 

be held. The Parties have agreed to retain Hon. Edward A. Infante (Ret.) as the mediator and
