1.

At a Case Management Conference held on April 23, 2014, the Court adopted the

pre-trial schedule proposed by the parties in their Joint Case Management Statement.
2.

That schedule established the following deadlines:

14

Designation of Experts: January 5, 2015

15

Designation of Rebuttal Experts: February 9, 2015

16

Close of Fact and Expert Discovery: March 9, 2015

19
20

3.

Upon further consideration, the parties agree that it would be beneficial to wait until

after the close of fact discovery to designate experts.
4.

In light of this agreement, the parties agree and hereby propose to modify the existing

expert discovery deadlines as follows:

21

Close of Fact Discovery: March 9, 2015

22

Designation of Experts: March 16, 2015

23

Expert Reports Due: April 6, 2015

24

Designation of Rebuttal Experts: April 22, 2015

25

Rebuttal Reports Due: May 6, 2015

26

Close of Expert Discovery: May 29, 2015

5.

The parties further stipulate that there is a chance that if the fact discovery deadline is

changed, it may require a further adjustment of the expert witness schedule.
