STIPULATION:

NOW THEREFORE, it is agreed and stipulated by and between the parties, through their 

respective counsel of record, that the following dates previously set by order of the Court be 

continued as follows: The Parties have conferred and agree to continue the following deadlines:

1. Expert disclosure date for 34 days, from October 11, 2016 to November 14, 2016 and the 

rebuttal reports 30 days, from October 31, 2016 to November 30, 2016;

2. The deadline for completion of expert discovery from November 30, 2016, to January 7, 

2017; and

3. The deadline for dispositive motions from January 12, 2017 to January 25, 2017.

The parties have good cause to request an extension for the expert disclosure deadline

stipulate to extend the expert disclosure date to November 14, 2016. Accordingly, the time for the 

rebuttal reports will need to be extended as well. The amended schedule comports with the Federal 

Requirement that disclosures be made 90 days before trial. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(D). Trial is 

presently scheduled for May 8, 2017. 

The parties further stipulate that the entry of an order extending the time for expert 

disclosure shall not impair the ability of Defendant Red Bluff Roundup in filing a motion to vacate 

and re-set the present trial date.
