for the disclosure of experts, completion of expert and non-expert discovery, filing of all motions, except 

motions for continuance, temporary restraining orders, and other emergency applications, and setting the 

Final Pretrial Conference and trial dates; 

WHEREAS, on July 22, 2014, Pallets Unlimited, LLC, filed a third-party complaint against 

OHL; 

WHEREAS, on January 16, 2015, the Court entered an order granting in part and denying in 

party OHL’s motion to dismiss Pallets Unlimited’s first amended third-party complaint against OHL; 

WHEREAS, on January 30, 2015, OHL filed its Answer to Pallets Unlimited’s first amended 

third-party complaint; 

WHEREAS, on February 24, 2015, the parties stipulated to modify the Pre-Trial Order since 

OHL had just appeared in the matter; 

WHEREAS, Starbucks noticed the deposition of Pallet Unlimited’s PMK in March 2014 for 

an April 2014 date, and Amcor noticed the deposition of the person most knowledgeable of Pallets 

Unlimited, LLC, as early as October 2014, but due to the unavailability of the key witness, Jamie 

Anderson, his deposition was held only recently on July 9, 2015. His deposition has not been completed 

and will be finished in the near future. 

WHEREAS, other depositions could not proceed as the parties agreed the proper sequence 

was for the first-noticed Pallets Unlimited deposition to take place before proceeding with Starbucks and 

other depositions, and because it would be best for the status of third-party defendant OHL and its 

motion to dismiss to be determined prior to proceeding with more depositions. 

WHEREAS, the depositions of two of Starbucks’ employees are now scheduled for July 21 

and July 30, 2015; 

WHEREAS, the delay in scheduling the initial depositions has caused a delay in continuing 

discovery in this matter; 

WHEREAS, for all of the foregoing reasons, the parties agree that the Scheduling Order 

should be modified to provide all parties with sufficient time to fairly participate in discovery and file 

pre-trial motions. 

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties,through
