4

for Disclosure of Expert Witnesses to be November 3, 2017, which was 45 days after the Court’s

attend mediation with mediator David Perrault on December 14, 2017. The parties have further

7

agreed and seek an order from the Court continuing the deadline for the Disclosure of Expert

any, and commissioning reports prior to mediation. The date for trial is not currently set and the
