COURTROOM MINUTES

STATUS/SCHEDULING/MOTION HEARING
1:31 p.m.

Court in session.

Court calls case. Appearances of counsel.
Discussion regarding the status of the case, further case scheduling, pending motions, class
certification, and trial dates.
Ms. Mansfield states Judge Daniel gave an oral order at the hearing held on April 23, 2015
which certified class as to the CCPA claim. However, Judge Daniel specifically stated in
response to a Motion for Clarification that a formal written order would be issued. To date that
order has not been docketed.
Court makes the suggestion that perhaps Judge Daniel would be receptive to setting a trial at a
point in advance of the Final Pretrial Conference so as to maximize the time for class issues
given the size of the putative class, and minimize the time spent simply waiting for a trial date.
This is a matter that may be discussed at the next status conference.

ORDERED: The discovery deadlines are extended as follows:
Rule 702 Motions, Expert, and Fact Discovery Cut off: September 28, 2015
Dispositive Motions Deadline: October 28, 2015
Defendants’ Rebuttal Experts, if any, as discussed: August 1, 2015
ORDERED: A Telephonic Status Conference is set for December 4, 2015 at 10:00 a.m.

shall submit a status report on or before November 20, 2015.
ORDERED: Defendants’ Motion to Strike Plaintiffs’ Expert Witness List and to Bar
Plaintiffs’ Use of Improperly Disclosed Experts [148] is DENIED, as stated
