CONSENT ORDER
__________________________________________________________________
For good cause shown and upon the ore tenus consent motion of the parties, the
Court herewith extends the deadline for dispositive and Daubert motions in this matter

from February 15, 2013, to March 1, 2013. Defendant’s expert witnesses could not be
made available for deposition prior to the expiration of discovery on January 31, 2013.
On February 21, 2013, the two expert witnesses identified by Defendant Deere will be
deposed by agreement of the parties. One of the two expert witnesses identified is an
employee of Deere, and that witness will also be deposed on that date as a corporate
designee in a very limited 30(b)(6) deposition with respect to topics that were provided
by plaintiff to defendant’s counsel on January 25, 2013. Defendant has no objections to
the topics as provided on that date. The only depositions to be taken out of time are the

ones agreed to by the parties scheduled for February 21, 2013. No other deadlines set by
the scheduling order in this matter are affected by this extension and no other extension
of discovery is sought by the parties or allowed by this Order.
SO ORDERED this 5th day of February, 2013.
