STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL DATE AND PRE-TRIAL DEADLINES
BARBARA JACOBS ROTHSTEIN, U.S. DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
STIPULATED MOTION
The parties stipulate to continue the trial date currently scheduled for February 10, 2025 to June 2, 2025 or to such other time as the Court deems appropriate. The parties stipulate that all related pretrial deadlines should be extended a similar amount of time consistent with the new trial date.
The parties have worked diligently in conducting written discovery and depositions to date. The parties agreed to mediation with Roy Umlauf, whose first available date was July 24, 2024, which the parties took. The parties intend to disclose their experts informally on July 15, 2024, in advance of the mediation. Should the case not settle at mediation, the parties would have only three weeks to complete discovery, including expert discovery, which the parties anticipated to include at least six individuals, as the discovery deadline is currently set for August 14, 2024. However, the parties need additional time to complete discovery and depose multiple experts after the date of mediation, in the event the case does not settle at mediation.
The parties stipulate to the following extension of the remaining case deadlines in accordance with counsel's preexisting trial conflicts:
| Current Deadline | Proposed Deadline | |
| Expert Witness Disclosure | 7/15/24 | 9/14/24 |
| Rebuttal Expert Witness Disclosure | 8/14/24 | 10/14/24 |
| Discovery Cut-off | 8/14/24 | 12/4/24 |
| Filing of Dispositive Motions | 9/13/24 | 1/3/25 |
| Filing of Motions in Limine | 1/2/25 | 4/24/25 |
| Joint Pretrial Statement | 1/13/25 | 5/5/25 |
| Pretrial conference | 1/28/25 | 5/20/25 |
| Trial | 2/10/25 | 6/2/25 |
ORDER
IT IS SO ORDERED. Trial is continued to June 2, 2025, with pretrial dates rescheduled as proposed by the parties, set forth above.
