Case No. 3:07-MD-1827 SI

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER SETTING REVISED TRACK 2 DEADLINES

1

WHEREAS the above-captioned cases (“Track 2” cases) have been proceeding with

2

pretrial preparation in accordance with the Court’s Orders dated November 13 and 21, 2012 (Dkt.

3

Nos. 7139 and 7230) and the deadline for close of limited fact discovery unique to Track 2 cases is

4

presently April 2, 2013;

5
6
7

WHEREAS counsel for plaintiffs and counsel for defendants in the Track 2 cases believe
additional time is needed to complete fact discovery unique to the Track 2 cases;
WHEREAS counsel for plaintiffs and counsel for defendants in the Track 2 cases have met

8

and conferred and determined that an approximate 45-day extension for all current deadlines,

9

except as described below, would be appropriate, though defendants caution that the 45-day

10

extension may not be sufficient if the parties cannot complete discovery in that time period;

11

WHEREAS counsel for plaintiffs and counsel for defendants in the Track 2 cases have met

12

and conferred and determined that the schedule should include a deadline by which defendants may

13

submit sur-rebuttal expert reports on the subject of downstream pass-on;

14

WHEREAS a 45 day extension for deadlines in the Track 2 cases and providing a period in

15

which defendants may submit sur-rebuttal expert reports on the subject of downstream pass-on will

16

not prejudice any of the parties or the Court because trial dates have not been scheduled for any of

17

these cases;

18

WHEREAS counsel for the State of Oregon and T-Mobile and counsel for defendants agree

19

that both the State of Oregon and T-Mobile actions should not proceed according to the current

20

Track 2 schedule, but that the additional 45 days contemplated for the other Track 2 cases is not

21

sufficient for the State of Oregon and T-Mobile matters;

22

WHEREAS, counsel for the State of Oregon and defendants have met and conferred and

23

determined that an approximate 180 day extension of all current deadlines would be appropriate;

24

WHEREAS counsel for T-Mobile and counsel for defendants set forth their views with

25

respect to the deadlines in the T-Mobile action in the Case Management Conference statement

26

submitted to the Court on March 8 (See e.g. Dkt. No. 403).
