STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER MODIFYING THE PRETRIAL
SCHEDULING ORDER
21
COMES NOW THE PARTIES by and through their respective counsel and subject to the
22
approval of this Court, hereby stipulate and respectfully request the following modifications to
23
this Court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order of April 12, 2016 (Court’s Docket No. 11), regarding the
24
scheduling of this case:
25
moved to February 23, 2017;
26
27
28
That the expert witness disclosure cut-off date currently set for November 23, 2016 be
That the rebuttal expert witness disclosure currently set for December 23, 2016 be moved
to March 23, 2017;
-1-
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER MODIFYING THE PRETRIAL SCHEDULING
ORDER
1
2
That the discovery deadline currently set for January 23, 2017 be moved to April 21,
2017;
3
4
That the deadline to file Motions currently set for March 13, 2017 be moved to June 13,
2017;
5
6
The trial currently set for July 25, 2017 be moved to a date convenient for the Court in or
after October 25, 2017;
7
That the Final Pretrial Conference currently set for May 22, 2017 be moved to a date
8
convenient for the Court in accordance with the new trial date, preferably after September
9
15, 2017.
10
The parties stipulate to and request this modification of the pretrial order as to the expert
11
witness disclosures, the discovery cutoff, and the motion deadline because there has been a three-
12
month delay from the time Plaintiffs terminated prior counsel and the time new counsel filed his
13
substitution. There is good cause for this modification because the parties did not anticipate that
14
Plaintiffs would change counsel, and because neither party could conduct discovery during the
15
three month period while Plaintiffs were effectively unrepresented. The parties are confident
16
that the new dates for expert witness disclosures, discovery cutoff, and motion deadline will
17
provide all parties with adequate time to complete discovery and dispositive motions.
18
The parties also stipulate to and request this modification of the pretrial order as to the
19
dates for the final pretrial conference and trial because defense counsel, Sean O’Dowd, cannot
20
attend the pretrial conference and trial as currently scheduled, as he will be on military leave
21
starting in May 2015. The parties submitted their availability for trial to this Court on March 28,
22
2016. Court’s Docket No. 8, p. 6. At that time, defense counsel was unaware of the dates that he
23
would be on military leave. His inability to attend the pretrial conference and trial was not
24
caused by a lack of diligence in complying with the Court’s Scheduling Order. Mr. O’Dowd
25
expects to return to work in mid-September 2017.
