Recitals

1. On August 13, 2014, this Court’s Scheduling Order set the following 

dates for the completion of discovery, including expert discovery. 

 Discovery Completion Date: March 19, 2015; 

 Plaintiff’s Expert Disclosures: May 21, 2015; 

 Defendant’s Expert Disclosures: May 21, 2015; 

2. The parties are working diligently and appear to be close to a settlement 

on this matter.

3. The parties do not seek or wish to change any remaining dates, including 

dates for dispositive motions, pretrial conference, or trial.

4. The parties previously submitted a stipulation to an extension of the 

discovery period, which the court denied without prejudice, and with 

leave to re-file provided that the re-filed stipulation ensured that the 

pretrial dates were amended in compliance with the court’s pretrial 

scheduling order to afford the court adequate time between applicable 

deadlines.

5. The parties have modified the previous stipulation and proposed order to 

remove the proposed separate deadline to file discovery motions, which 

would have had discovery motions heard after the deadline for 

dispositive motions and after the final pretrial conference, and would 

have conflicted with the scheduling order’s mandate to have all discovery 

disputes resolved by order prior to the discovery deadline.
