JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINES
Plaintiff American Airlines, Inc. (“American”), and Defendants Travelport Limited,
Travelport, LP, and Orbitz Worldwide, LLC (collectively “Defendants,” and together with
American “the Parties”), through their undersigned counsel, jointly move for an extension of
certain case deadlines.
In particular, the Parties request that certain deadlines set in the Court’s Order Granting
Unopposed Motion to Stay Party Discovery and Extend Current Deadlines and Request for
Expedited Treatment [Doc. 420] be modified as follows:
a)

Fact discovery shall be completed by Wednesday, March 27, 2013.

b)

Defendants’ expert reports shall be due Tuesday, April 9, 2013.

c)

Plaintiff’s rebuttal expert disclosures shall be due Tuesday, April 30, 2013.

d)

Expert depositions shall be completed by Friday, May 17, 2013.

e)

All pretrial and dispositive motions, except motions in limine, shall be due Friday,
May 31, 2013.

The requested extension is necessary because of recent developments in the case. For
example, certain depositions of key witnesses have not been able to be scheduled until March.

Further, as the Court is aware, Orbitz shut down work by its experts during the various litigation
stays (Dkts. 407, 420, 431 and 445).
For the foregoing reasons, the parties jointly request the extension described above to
accommodate these recent developments. A proposed form of order is attached.

Dated: February 20, 2013
