9
10
Order (“Discovery Schedule Order,” ECF No. 98), the parties served opening Expert

WHEREAS, on August 1, 2019, pursuant to the Discovery Schedule Order, the
13
14

15
additional “retained” experts.
16
WHEREAS, the parties conferred extensively in a good faith attempt to make each

18
but were unable to do so. Under the existing agreed-upon deposition schedule among the
19
parties, the last deposition is scheduled for September 18, 2019. Thus, the parties propose
20

22
WHEREAS, consequently, the parties also propose and stipulate that the deadlines
