WHEREAS on May 3, 2016, this Court set a number of pre-trial schedules in this case. As is relevant to this stipulation, the Court directed the Mitsubishi Electric Defendants to submit rebuttal reports of their expert witnesses on October 7, 2016. (Dkt. 4628, docketed May 4, 2016);
WHEREAS on September 28, 2016, the Court directed any parties, notably the DPPs, wishing to respond to the Mitsubishi Electric Defendants' Motion for Relief from Nondispositive Pretrial Order of Special Master (Dkt. 4802), to do so before October 7, 2016 (Dkt. 4893);
WHEREAS the Court granted the parties' stipulation filed on October 3, 2016 extending the October 7, 2016 deadlines to October 21, 2016 (Dkt. 4920);

WHEREAS the parties currently anticipate that they will make substantial progress in resolving this dispute by November 21, 2016;

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between counsel for the undersigned plaintiffs and defendants, and subject to the Court's approval, that:
