ORDER
_________
On May 10, 2011, defendant filed its third motion for an extension of time to complete
discovery. While the court understands some of the difficulties associated with this case, the
parties have had more than two years to complete discovery in this matter – the court issued its
initial discovery scheduling order on May 5, 2009. Defendant’s motion is GRANTED, in part,
and DENIED, in part. Accordingly:
1.

On or before August 26, 2011, the parties shall complete fact discovery;

2.

On or before October 5, 2011, the parties shall complete expert discovery;
and

3.

On or before October 13, 2011, the parties shall file a joint status report
indicating how this case should proceed.

No further enlargements of these deadlines will be granted, and the court expects
the parties to ensure that these deadlines are met.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
