GRANTED; and the parties’ discovery deadlines are extended as follows:
(1) All fact discovery, including production of documents,
depositions, interrogatories and requests for admission, shall be COMPLETED no
later than April 14, 2014;
(2) The parties shall comply with all requirements of RCFC 26(a)(2)
with respect to disclosure of expert testimony within the stated discovery deadline
unless the parties request additional time for expert discovery and/or disclosure;

case or whether the parties intend to file dispositive motions. If dispositive
motions are to be filed, the status report shall set forth a proposed schedule in that
regard. If neither settlement nor dispositive motions are viable, the parties shall set
forth a proposed schedule for the exchanges required by Appendix A, ¶ 13 and the
filings required by ¶¶ 14 through 17.
