WHEREAS, the parties timely exchanged initial disclosures and engaged in written 

discovery.

WHEREAS, Defendant has previously noticed Plaintiff’s deposition to be held on 

July 18 and August 12, 2014, but has been unable to commence Plaintiff’s deposition due to

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to schedule Plaintiff’s deposition for August 

28, 2014.

WHEREAS, Defendant intends to serve supplemental disclosures, pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(e), based upon its identification of additional information

WHEREAS, due to scheduling conflicts and trial calendar, Plaintiff’s counsel is 

unable to complete discovery, specifically depositions of key witnesses by discovery cut-off 

date of September 19, 2014.

WHEREAS, per this Court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order, the final pretrial conference 

is scheduled for May 28, 2015.

WHEREAS, the parties’ desired extension for discovery and hearing dispositive

Defendant currently stipulate to extend the fact discovery deadline to November 14, 2014.

THEREFORE, Plaintiff and Defendant stipulate to extend the expert witness 

disclosure deadline to January 15, 2015, with an equivalent extension of all attendant expert 

discovery deadlines arising thereafter.
