ORDER
This matter comes before the Court on the Plaintiff, Root Solutions, Inc.’s Agreed Motion
to Extend Expert Report Disclosure and Discovery Deadlines (Doc. #26) filed on May 6, 2011. The
Motion is unopposed by the Defendant.
The Plaintiff moves to enlarge the deadline for each Party to file its expert report and the
discovery deadline by approximately sixty (60) days each. As grounds, the Plaintiff states that they
need more time to hire experts and allow time for the experts to develop their opinions. The Plaintiff
also states that the Parties have agreed to a mediation date of May 31, 2011. The Plaintiff states that
the Parties would be better served to have another month to review the discovery and hold mediation
to refine the issues for expert testimony. The Plaintiff’s Motion is overreaching. While the Court
will allow some extension of time, the requested deadlines are more than is necessary for the Parties
to refine their expert reports.

Accordingly, it is now
ORDERED:
The Plaintiff, Root Solutions, Inc.’s Agreed Motion to Extend Expert Report Disclosure and
Discovery Deadlines (Doc. #26) is GRANTED. The Discovery and Expert Report Deadlines are
Modified as Follows:
