address this issue, the Parties, through their counsel of record, enter into the following 

stipulation that the scheduling order in this matter can be modified as follows. This 

stipulation will not effect the other dates stated in the Court’s scheduling order in this 

matter.

is completed to designate a rebuttal insurance expert. In addition, Defendants have 20 days 

from the date of the completion of the deposition of Plaintiff’s medical expert to designate a 

rebuttal medical expert. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
