IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES TO THIS ACTION,
through their counsel of record, as follows:
1.

WHEREAS, on January 24, 2017, this Court issued a Pretrial Scheduling Order (the

“Scheduling Order”) in this matter.
2.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Scheduling Order, the deadline for expert witness

disclosures is July 28, 2017, and the deadline for rebuttal expert witness disclosures is August 31, 2017.

13

3.

WHEREAS, the Parties’ deadline to file and serve motions is November 20, 2017.

14

4.

WHEREAS, the Parties anticipate mediating this case in the summer of 2017, and agree

15
16

that mediation may resolve some or all of the claims at issue in this case.
5.

WHEREAS, if mediation is unsuccessful in resolving the case in its entirety, Defendant

17

intends to file a dispositive motion on or before the November 20, 2017 deadline, which may dispose of

18

the case or narrow the issues to be addressed at trial.

19

6.

WHEREAS, both parties wish to avoid the incurrence of expert witness fees and costs (or

20

rebuttal witness fees and costs), as well as associated written discovery, depositions, and meet and

21

confer efforts, if some or all of the case may be disposed of via settlement or other means.

22

7.

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred, and now agree that it is in the best

23

interest of economic and judicial efficiency to continue the expert witness disclosure dates by five (5)

24

months, until after mediation can be completed and summary judgment can be decided.

25

8.

WHEREAS, the Parties further agree that good cause exists to continue the expert

26

witness disclosure deadlines, as a continuance is needed to prevent the expenditure of time and resources

27

on experts that may not be needed for trial.
