JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING MODIFICATION OF PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER [DOC 42]

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., District Judge.

This case relates to events beginning in May 2012 (including searches of Plaintiffs Robert L. Honan and Advanced Building & Fabrication, Inc., on May 30, 2012) and now-dismissed criminal charges against Mr. Honan.

Over the last few months, the parties have engaged in significant discovery, including document requests, interrogatories, requests for admissions, third party subpoenas, and multiple depositions. However, because of the large number of witnesses and depositions to be taken, it is proving impractical to schedule all the remaining witnesses before the September 12, 2016 discovery cutoff provided by the Court's Pretrial Scheduling Order [DOC 42].

On August 11, 2016, counsel for both parties met and conferred by email regarding extending some of the dates outlined in the Scheduling Order. Both parties are in the process of discussing and noticing dates for witness depositions. Both parties are working cooperatively on discovery and hope to avoid discovery disputes. There is currently no assigned trial date.

Because of the parties' conflicting schedules and the extensive number of witnesses who have to be deposed in this case, as well as the voluminous amount of discovery that still needs to be completed, the parties respectfully request that the Court approve the following date modifications set forth below. The parties seek to compress the schedule, rather than extending all deadlines set by the Court, so that there is no impact to the timeline for disposition of the case, including the trial date still to be set:

FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, the parties hereby stipulate that, with the Court's permission, the Court's Pretrial Scheduling Order be modified to reflect the three new deadlines set forth above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
