Plaintiffs Barbara Heinrich and Gregory Heinrich and Defendants

2

Johnson & Johnson and Ethicon, Inc. stipulate to extend the deadline for

3

submitting a revised joint pretrial order and for submitting a status report regarding

4

the possibility of further settlement negotiations, set by the Court’s Order Granting

5

Motion to Lift Stay (ECF No. 269). The parties stipulate to extend these deadlines

6

for a period of 30 days, from January 15, 2025 to February 14, 2025.

7

This is the first request for an extension of these deadlines. The parties

8

have met and conferred extensively on the pretrial order and the possibility of

9

settlement and are working to compile the necessary information for the pretrial

10

order, including identification of designations, counter-designations, and trial

11

exhibits. The parties have made substantial efforts to complete the pretrial order

12

and have exchanged several drafts. The parties seek additional time to continue

13

these efforts to further refine the issues to be addressed in the pretrial order and

14

better streamline the trial.

The parties believe that good cause exists for this modest extension

since it will have the beneficial effect of saving both judicial and party resources.
