Note on Motion Calendar: July 16, 2021 THE BOEING COMPANY, Defendant. 13 14 15 THE BOEING COMPANY, Counterclaim and ThirdParty Plaintiff, 16 17 18 19 v. SPEARMAN CORPORATION and SPEARMAN CORPORATION KENT DIVISION, 20 Counterclaim Defendant 21 ALEXANDER SPEARMAN, an individual, 22 Third-Party Defendant. 23 I. 24 STIPULATED MOTION STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE AND CASE SCHEDULE – 1 2:20-cv-00013 RSM Mix Sanders Thompson, PLLC  1420 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200  Seattle, WA  98101  Tel: 206‐521‐5989  Fax: 888‐521‐5980 1 The parties enter into this Stipulation in accordance with Local Rule 16(b)(6), which 2 provides that a request to continue the trial date must be made in writing to the Court and 3 supported by good cause. The parties jointly contend there is good cause to continue the trial date 4 from January 24, 2022 to May 16, 2022 and extend the case schedule accordingly for the 5 following reasons: 6 1. On December 23, 2019, Spearman Corporation filed suit against The Boeing Company in 7 King County Superior Court under Cause No. 19-2-33820-2 KNT. On January 3, 2020, 8 Boeing filed its Notice of Removal to U.S District Court in the Western District of 9 Washington. 10 2. On February 4, 2020, Boeing filed a Motion for Partial Dismissal and on May 14, 2020, 11 Spearman Corporation filed its First Amended Complaint, which resulted in a new round 12 of briefing in connection with Boeing’s Partial Motion to Dismiss. The Court’s Order 13 Granting Defendants’ Partial Motion to Dismiss CPA Claim was filed on January 14, 2021. 14 3. Boeing filed its Answer to First Amended Complaint, Affirmative Defenses, Counterclaim 15 and Third Party Complaint on January 28, 2021 along with a Motion for Relief from 16 Deadline to Add Parties See Doc No. 64. On March 30, this Court granted Boeing’s motion. 17 See Doc No. 88. 18 4. On March 22, 2021, Mix Sanders Thompson PLLC filed a notice of appearance to defend 19 Spearman Corporation, Spearman Corporation Kent Division, and Alex Spearman against 20 Boeing’s counter and third-party claims. See Doc No. 85. Since appearing in this case, 21 counsel from Mix Sanders Thompson has advised Boeing that it has spent substantial time 22 reviewing thousands of documents within the database in efforts to respond to Boeing’s 23 requests for production, and it continues to do so, but significant document discovery 24 remains outstanding. STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE AND CASE SCHEDULE – 2 2:20-cv-00013 RSM Mix Sanders Thompson, PLLC  1420 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200  Seattle, WA  98101  Tel: 206‐521‐5989  Fax: 888‐521‐5980 1 5. On July 6, 2021, attorneys Nicholas Larson and Alexandrea Tomp with Murphy Pearson 2 Bradley and Feeney, filed a notice of appearance to defend Spearman Corporation, 3 Spearman Corporation Kent Division and Alex Spearman against Boeing’s counter and 4 third-party claims. See Doc No. 98. Mr. Larson and Ms. Tomp have advised Boeing that 5 they will be lead counterclaim and third-party defense counsel for Spearman Corporation, 6 Spearman Corporation Kent Division and Alex Spearman at trial. Lane Powell has advised 7 Boeing that it will remain lead Plaintiffs’ counsel. (Boeing reserves any issues relating to 8 the identification of two “lead” counsel for the same parties.) 9 10 6. The parties’ have recently commenced depositions in this case and are in the process of scheduling other depositions. 11 7. The parties jointly contend there is significant discovery remaining, including written 12 discovery, additional depositions, and expert discovery. Furthermore, because of the 13 current status of discovery, the parties require additional time in order to prepare for and 14 have the opportunity to engage in alternate dispute resolution, let alone trial. 15 8. Due to the volume of documents involved in this case, Mr. Larson and Ms. Tomp’s recent 16 notice of appearance, pending discovery requests and the overall status of discovery, 17 including expert discovery and the upcoming deadlines for producing expert witness 18 reports, in addition to the reasons set forth above, there is good cause to continue the trial 19 date to May 16, 2022. Further, the parties jointly request that the following deadlines set 20 forth in the Court’s March 11, 2021 Order (Doc No. 84) extending the trial date and related 21 dates be extended as follows: 22 Event Current Deadline 23 Primary Experts Identified (names and CVs only) July 26, 2021 24 STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE AND CASE SCHEDULE – 3 2:20-cv-00013 RSM New Proposed Deadline July 26, 2021 Mix Sanders Thompson, PLLC  1420 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200  Seattle, WA  98101  Tel: 206‐521‐5989  Fax: 888‐521‐5980 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Disclosure for expert testimony under FRCP 26(a)(2) Mediation if requested by the parties Deadline for filing motions related to discovery Discovery Completed All dispositive motions filed by and noted for 4th Friday thereafter Trial Commences All motions in limine must be filed Agreed pretrial order due Trial briefs, proposed voir dire, jury instructions, neutral statement of the case, and trial exhibits due July 26, 2021 November 29, 2021 December 10, 2021 December 10, 2021 September 2, 2021 January 6, 2022 September 28, 2021 October 28, 2021 January 28, 2022 February 25, 2022 January 24, 2022 4 weeks prior to trial May 16, 2022 4 weeks prior to trial 2 weeks prior to trial 5 weeks prior to trial 2 weeks prior to trial 5 days prior to trial 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE AND CASE SCHEDULE – 4 2:20-cv-00013 RSM Mix Sanders Thompson, PLLC  1420 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2200  Seattle, WA  98101  Tel: 206‐521‐5989  Fax: 888‐521‐5980 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Dated this 16th day of July, 2021 By: s/Michael G.
