WHEREAS, discovery in this case has been on-going; WHEREAS, the present non-expert discovery cut-off is September 30, 2010, and expert disclosures are due on September 30, 2010; WHEREAS, the Parties believe that the current discovery deadlines have become unworkable for a variety of reasons, including the unavailability of key witnesses of Defendants during the months of May and June due to pressing budget-related activities; the fact that State Defendants' production of voluminous electronic data regarding In-Home Supportive Services consumers and providers was delayed by months for technical reasons and there is a need for additional time for expert analysis of this data; the difficulty of scheduling Defendants' depositions of the individual and union Plaintiffs prior to the discovery deadline after Magistrate Judge Larson resolved the parties' dispute regarding the number of depositions Defendants could take; and the fact that, while discovery has been on-going, Plaintiffs and Defendants have had to devote considerable time and resources to ongoing proceedings in this case including the litigation of the temporary restraining order that was entered on June 29, 2010; WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed upon a modest extension of the discovery and related deadlines that they believe will allow for the completion of discovery while minimizing delay of trial; WHEREAS, the Court has previously adjusted deadlines in this case six times (Dkt. #59, 62, 158, 179, 192, 281; see also Dkt. #94); however, only the most recent modification affected the initial deadlines set by the Court for discovery, case-dispositive motions, or trial; IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between the parties through their respective counsel that, subject to Court approval, the following schedule should replace that set by the Court in its Order Adopting Stipulation Continuing Deadlines filed May 7, 2010 (Dkt. #281): Completion of Fact Discovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10/29/10 Disclosure of identities and reports of expert witnesses Initial . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11/19/10 Rebuttal . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12/17/10 Completion of Expert Discovery . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 01/21/11 Plaintiffs' Opening Brief re Dispositive Motions . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 02/17/11 Defendants' Opposition and Cross-Motion re Dispositive Motions . . . . . . 03/10/11

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED, except that the stipulation is declined regarding the dispositive motion schedule and pretrial and trial dates. July 5 is not an available trial date, and in any event would be too close to the motion hearing date. Counsel may consult with the Courtroom Deputy regarding available trial dates and submit another stipulation. The dispositive motion hearing date must be at least 90 days before the trial date.
