This Court's May 8, 2008 Order approved a joint litigation schedule for the remainder of Phase III of this matter. Dkt. No. 166. This Court's September 30, 2008 Order granted Petitioner leave to conduct discovery. Dkt. No. 176. Petitioner has been diligent in seeking to conduct that discovery, but because of the unavailability of a key witness for deposition ­ Dennis Kollenborn, who the court has already given leave to depose, but who is unavailable for deposition for six weeks due to his own trial schedule ­ needs an additional two (2) months to complete discovery. Respondent has agreed that extending the deadlines in this case by two (2) months is acceptable. The parties have met and conferred and stipulate to the following amended joint litigation schedule, which extends the previously approved Phase III schedule dates as follows: (1) Discovery deadlines: (a) Fact discovery cut-off (last day to complete): July 1, 2009. (b) Expert discovery cut-off (last day to complete): August 12, 2009. (2) Briefing schedule for Petitioner's motion for evidentiary hearing: (a) Motion filed by Petitioner on or before October 14, 2009. (b) Opposition filed by Respondent on or before November 11, 2009. (c) Reply filed by Petitioner on or before December 14, 2009. (d) Hearing on motion for evidentiary hearing on January 12, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. (3) The parties propose to have a status conference scheduled for February 24, 2010

at 2:30 p.m. via telephone to discuss scheduling of an evidentiary hearing, in the event this Court grants Petitioner's motion for evidentiary hearing. Plaintiffs shall be responsible for arranging the conference call. All parties shall be on the line and shall call [phone] at the above indicated date and time. (4) The parties agree that the page limitations specified in the Local Rules will not

apply to the foregoing pleadings. /// /// /// ///
