Plaintiff Snap Lock Industries, Inc. (“Snap Lock”) and Defendant Swisstrax Corporation

25

1.

On September 27, 2018, the Parties filed a Supplemental Joint Status Report outlining

each parties’ respective discovery disputes for the Court’s resolution. See ECF No. 79.
2.

In the Supplemental Joint Status Report, Snap Lock included a request that the Court

26

clarify or amend the expert witness related deadlines such that the Court clarify that Swisstrax serve

27

its expert report on costs and deductions under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a) on the initial expert report

deadline, or, alternatively, that the Court amend the expert deadlines to provide Snap Lock an

2

opportunity to rebut Swisstrax’s expert report on costs and deductions under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a).

3

See ECF No. 79 at 13.

4

3.

In response, Swisstrax argued in the Supplemental Joint Status Report that “[t]o the

5

extent either expert disagrees with the other’s rebuttal report, this can be addressed during the

6

respective depositions.” ECF No. 79 at 20.

7

4.

The Court heard argument on this issue on October 2, 2018, and, in its October 3,

8

2018, Minutes of Proceedings, the Court directed that it “will reserve ruling on whether Plaintiff gets

9

a reply.” ECF No. 81.

10

5.

To avoid the expense and delay involved with renewed motion practice with respect to

11

this issue, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree that any expert witnesses’ sur-rebuttal comments and

12

opinions related to the other party’s rebuttal expert report shall be addressed during the respective

13

expert depositions in lieu of a formal expert report. The Parties further agree that any expert witness

14

shall be entitled to testify at trial regarding any expert opinions stated during that expert’s deposition,

15

without the need for a formal sur-rebuttal expert report.

Dated this 19th day of February, 2019.
