WHEREAS, the parties completed fact discovery on February 27, 2009, with the exception of certain issues for which this Court--in its February 25, 2009 Order (see Case No. C 07-5470, Dkt. 88)--extended the discovery deadline to March 13, 2009; WHEREAS, the parties are continuing to work diligently on their responses to certain written discovery responses and document productions that were the subject of the parties' March 10, 2009 Stipulation Extending Motion to Compel Deadline (entered by the Court on March 11, 2009), but certain issues have yet to be fully resolved, and the parties agree that a modest additional extension of those deadlines is warranted; WHEREAS, the current deadline for the written discovery responses is March 27, 2009, and the current deadline for the parties to seek relief from the Court on all discovery issues not subject to the above-referenced Order is April 10, 2009; WHEREAS, a modest extension of these deadline for requesting relief from the Court on these discrete issues will hopefully allow the parties to resolve any disagreements without being forced to seek this Court's intervention; WHEREAS, an extension will not affect any scheduled dates, particularly in light of the Court's recent Order Granting Motion for a Stay (see Case No. C 07-5470, Dkt. 105). IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD: For matters covered in Paragraph 1 of the parties' February 24, 2009 Stipulation re Fact Discovery on Certain Items After Cutoff (entered February 25, 2009), the deadline for written discovery responses will be further extended to April 10, 2009, and the deadline for motions to compel with regard to those written discovery responses shall be extended to April 30, 2009.
