WEINTRAUB, P.L.C.,
Defendants.
/
ORDER GRANTING IN PART “JOINT MOTION TO AMEND AUGUST 15, 2011
SCHEDULING ORDER” AND SCHEDULING TELEPHONIC STATUS CONFERENCE
Before the court is the parties’ joint motion to extend the August 15, 2011
scheduling order deadlines 120 days. During a March 5, 2012 telephonic conference,
the court expressed its concern regarding the parties’ desire to delay adjudication of this
case pending the resolution of Geologic Computer Systems, Inc. v. MacLean, No.
10-13569 (E.D. Mich.), a case currently pending before another judge of this court.
Instead of granting the requested 120-day extension, the court asked the parties to
develop a 60-day proposed discovery plan, explaining in satisfactory detail what
discovery efforts would be undertaken if the court granted a 60-day extension for
discovery. The parties filed their proposed plan on March 9, 2012. Having reviewed the
plan,
IT IS ORDERED that the parties’ “Joint Motion to Amend August 15, 2011
Scheduling Order” [Dkt. # 9] is GRANTED IN PART. The deadline for completing courtsupervised discovery is May 15, 2012. Final witness lists must be delivered to the
opposing party and filed with the court on or before May 1, 2012. Plaintiff shall supply

to opposing counsel any report of a proposed expert on or before April 20, 2012, and
Defendant shall provide its proposed expert’s report on or before May 4, 2012. The
deadline for filing pretrial dispositive motions is June 16, 2012. Finally, all other pretrial
and trial dates set forth in the scheduling order will remain unchanged at this time.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall participate in a telephonic
status conference on May 14, 2012, at 2:00 p.m. The court will initiate the call.
