STIPULATED REQUEST FOR AN AMENDED SCHEDULING ORDER; ORDER THEREON
MICHAEL J. SENG, Magistrate Judge.
The parties respectfully submit the following Stipulation and Proposed Order:
STIPULATION
WHEREAS, all parties to the above-entitled action, by and through their counsel of record, met and conferred recently regarding an extension of the non-expert discovery cut-off date;
WHEREAS, the current Scheduling Order (Dkt. 16) sets forth the following Discovery Deadlines and Expert Disclosure Deadlines:
Non-Expert Discovery: July 14, 2015
Expert Discovery: October 30, 2015
Expert Disclosure Deadlines:
Filing: August 18, 2015
Supplemental: September 15, 2015
WHEREAS, the parties have already completed a sizeable portion of the written discovery, but will need to address certain issues with the Magistrate Judge assigned to this matter concerning certain categories of discovery because the parties have reached an impasse. However, due to the trial schedules of counsel for the parties and due to other extraneous circumstances, there have been delays in counsel's ability to resolve these issues and proceed with the discovery. Accordingly, the depositions that were scheduled had to all be placed on hold, pending the resolution of the documents at issue. Based on these circumstances, the parties require additional time to complete the non-expert discovery in this matter. Additionally, the parties wish to attempt to accommodate the schedules of deponents as much as is practicable, so as to minimize the inconvenience to both deponents and to parties in completing the remaining depositions. However, this will also require additional time. In sum, reconciling the schedules of Defense counsel, Plaintiff's counsel, and the various lay witnesses, in order to both resolve the pending discovery and complete the depositions, requires additional time.
Based on the circumstances described above, the parties now respectfully and jointly request that the court issue an amended scheduling order, which maintains the same Non-Dispositive Motion and Dispositive Motion filing deadlines, as well as the same Pretrial Conference and Jury Trial dates as previously ordered, but which extends only the discovery deadlines, as set forth below.
WHEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE and respectfully request that the Court order that the Scheduling Order (Dkt. 16) be amended or modified to reflect the deadlines listed below:
Non-Expert Discovery: extended from July 14, 2015 to September 14, 2015;
Expert Discovery: extended from October 30, 2015 to November 30, 2015;
Expert Disclosure: Filing: extended from August 18, 2015 to October 13, 2015;
Supplemental Expert Disclosure: extended from September 15, 2015 to November 17, 2015;
All other deadlines, hearings, and the Pretrial Conference and Trial dates would remain as set.
ORDER
Having considered the parties' Stipulated Request for an Amended Scheduling Order and good cause appearing therefor,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Stipulated Request is granted, as set forth in the Stipulation above:
The Scheduling Order (Dkt. 16) shall be amended to reflect the deadlines listed below:
1. The deadline to complete Non-Expert Discovery shall be extended from July 14, 2015 to September 14, 2015;
2. The deadline for Expert Disclosure shall be extended from August 18, 2015 to October 13, 2015;
3. The deadline for Supplemental Expert Disclosure shall be extended from September 15, 2015 to November 17, 2015;
4. The deadline for Expert Discovery shall be extended from October 30, 2015 to November 30, 2015; and,
5. All other deadlines, hearings, and the Pretrial Conference and Trial dates shall remain as set.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
