WHEREAS, a Status Conference is set for July 2, 2024 [Dkt. No. 160];

WHEREAS, the Court’s Pretrial Order provides that “[o]n or before July 1, 2024 counsel

submission;

WHEREAS, the parties all agree that rulings on the Daubert motions and application of 

the Consumer Expectation Test may impact the exhibits intended to be used at trial;

WHEREAS, the parties request that the Court vacate the July 1, 2024 deadline for holding 

the exhibit conference pending guidance from the Court and a rescheduled trial date at the July 2, 

2024 Status Conference.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, through their 

respective counsel of record, that the exhibit conference deadline of July 1, 2024 may be vacated 

pending guidance from the Court during the July 2, 2024 Status Conference.
