STIPULATION AND ORDER TO AMEND DEADLINES IN PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER

TROY L. NUNLEY, District Judge.

WHEREAS, to date, the parties have taken 13 depositions and served 133 requests for production, 137 requests for admission, 24 interrogatories, and 12 requests for inspection;

WHEREAS, the parties are in the process of completing the remainder of discovery, including the production of documents, taking of depositions, and inspection of the refinery;

WHEREAS, the scheduling of the remaining discovery has proven challenging, and the parties believe an extension will help complete the remaining discovery in an orderly fashion and minimize, if not eliminate, discovery disputes that might otherwise require the Court's attention;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed it would be beneficial to the parties and facilitate the completion of discovery to extend the deadline for the close of fact discovery from June 29, 2018 to August 24, 2018; the deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses from August 30, 2018 to October 19, 2018; the deadline for disclosure of rebuttal experts from September 29, 2018 to November 16, 2018; and the deadline for hearing on dispositive motions from December 6, 2018 to February 7, 2019;

WHEREAS, the only prior request for an extension of deadlines set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling Order was a joint request for a 10-day extension to rebuttal expert reports filed by the parties two weeks after the Pretrial Scheduling Order was entered (see Dkt. #28);

WHEREAS, the extensions agreed to by the parties, subject to approval by the Court, will not change the deadlines for submission of the joint pretrial conference statement, the final pretrial conference, or the trial date;

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between the plaintiff Valero Refining Company — California and defendant Pacific Gas and Electric Company, through their undersigned counsel and subject to the approval of the Court, that the following deadlines set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling Order (Dkt. #26, as amended by Dkt. #28) shall be amended as follows:

All other dates set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling Order, as amended, shall remain unchanged.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
