WILLIAM B. SHUBB, District Judge.
Plaintiff Starbucks Corporation ("Starbucks"), Defendants and Cross-Claimants Amcor Packaging Distribution and Amcor Packaging (USA), Inc. (collectively referred to as "Amcor"), Defendant, Cross-Claimant and Third-Party Plaintiff Pallets Unlimited, LLC, and Third-Party Defendant Ozburn-Hessey Logistics ("OHL") (collectively the "parties"), by and through their respective counsel of record, stipulate as follows:
WHEREAS, on August 23, 2013, Plaintiff Starbucks Corporation filed its complaint against Defendants Amcor Packaging Distribution, Amcor Packaging (USA), Inc., and Pallets Unlimited, LLC;
WHEREAS, on January 29, 2014, the Court entered a Scheduling Order setting deadlines 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 part 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, on July 31, 2015, the parties stipulated to modify the Pre-Trial Order to extend some of the discovery deadlines because a key witness in the matter was not available for deposition;
WHEREAS, on November 5, 2015, the parties stipulated to modify the Pre-Trial Order to extend some of the discovery deadlines;
WHEREAS, the current discovery deadline is November 30, 2015, and the parties have been conducting written discovery and depositions to meet that deadline. The parties believe that substantial discovery has been conducted close to the discovery deadline and they would need additional time to review the same with their clients, carriers, and experts.
WHEREAS, all parties agree that their counsel, experts, clients, and carrier representatives may have vacations planned for the month of December and, therefore, it would be prudent to extend just the expert discovery to February 1, 2016, to provide all parties sufficient time to fairly participate in discovery and file pre-trial motions.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their respective counsel and subject to the Court's approval, that good cause has been shown and the Scheduling Order shall be modified as follows, subject to further modification upon a showing of good cause under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b).
