The court’s prior order, (Filing No. 148), stated as follows:

3) All parties intend to move for summary judgment. As to all parties, the
deadline for filing motions to dismiss, motions for summary judgment, and
any motions challenging the admissibility of expert testimony on Daubert or
related grounds shall be filed on or before May 21, 2019. Responses to
those motions shall be filed on or before June 10, 2019. No replies shall be
filed absent a substantial showing of good cause.

(emphasis in original).

Upon further review, the deadline for filing motions to exclude testimony on
Daubert and related grounds expired on August 1, 2018. (See Filing No. 96). The
subject of challenges to the admissibility of expert testimony was not raised or
discussed in the telephone conference on May 7, 2019. (Filing No. 147, audio
file) The portion of Paragraph 3 which set a Daubert motion deadline was
entered in error.

Accordingly,

IT IS ORDERED that no motions challenging the admissibility of expert
testimony on Daubert or related grounds will be considered.

Dated this 22nd day of May, 2019.
BY THE COURT:
