MINUTE ORDER

This matter is before the court on the “Joint Motion to Amend Scheduling Order.” (Doc. No. 53
[“Motion”], filed February 12, 2016.). By this motion, the parties are requesting the court extend
the deadlines for discovery, expert reports, and dispositive motions. The Trial Preparation Order
provides, “A request to extend the dispositive motion deadline more than 30 days beyond the
deadline originally set in the initial Scheduling Order must show exceptional circumstances
warranting the extension.” (Doc. No. 35 at 2.) The parties have noted that three critical
witnesses are suffering serious health issues and have been or will be out of their offices for
significant periods of time in the foreseeable future. The court finds that the parties have shown
exceptional circumstances warranting the requested extensions.
Accordingly, the “Joint Motion to Amend Scheduling Order” (Doc. No. 53) is GRANTED. The
new relevant deadlines are as follows: Discovery cut-off is 6/8/16, Plaintiff’s Expert Reports are
due 4/19/16, Defendant’s Expert and Rebuttal Expert Reports are due 5/11/16, Plaintiff’s
Rebuttal Expert Reports are due 5/25/16 and Dispositive Motions shall be filed no later than
7/8/16.
Dated this 18th day of February, 2016.
