Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on April 17, 2014.
The Joint Motion to Modify Scheduling Order to Extend Close of Discovery [filed April 16,
2014; docket #56] is granted. Paragraph 9 of the Scheduling Order in this case shall be modified
as follows:
b.

Fact discovery cutoff: May 7, 2014

The Court will grant no further extension of this deadline absent a showing of exceptional cause.
All other deadlines and conference dates will remain the same.
The Joint Motion to Modify Scheduling Order to Allow Expert Depositions After the Close
of Discovery [filed April 16, 2014; docket #56] is granted in part and denied in part. The Court
finds the parties’ suggested deadline vague and speculative and, thus, difficult by which to monitor
the proceedings. The parties assert that they intend to participate in a mediation after dispositive
motions are filed June 10, 2014; therefore, the Court will permit the parties to depose the three
experts identified in the motion on or before July 31, 2014.
