STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR DISCOVERY AND EXTENDING DEADLINE TO DESIGNATE REBUTTAL EXPERTS

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, Jr., District Judge.

The parties hereby request and stipulate to move the non-expert and expert discovery deadline to April 28, 2017 and the deadline to designate rebuttal experts with reports to April 14, 2017. Currently, the discovery deadline closes on April 14, 2017 and the deadline to designate rebuttal experts is March 31, 2017. All other dates to remain the same.

The parties have engaged in extensive written discovery including follow-up discovery. Plaintiff's deposition was conducted on March 6, 2017. The remaining defendant depositions have been noticed and will be conducted in April 2017. On March 17, 2017, Plaintiff disclosed her expert with report. The parties have scheduled mediation to occur on April 20, 2017, with the Honorable Judge Ware, Ret. The parties have not yet scheduled the deposition of Plaintiff's expert. Furthermore, Plaintiff expects to depose Defendant's rebuttal expert.

The parties believe additional time is needed to conduct meaningful discovery, have a productive mediation session, depose Plaintiff's and Defendants' rebuttal experts and that moving the discovery deadline to April 28th and the deadline to designate rebuttal experts to April 14th will facilitate this goal.

Previously, the parties agreed to move the deadline to disclose experts to March 17, 2017 and to move the close of non-expert discovery to April 14, 2017. See Docket #68, #70. All other dates to remain the same.

As such, the parties agree and stipulate to the following:

SO STIPULATED:

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
