STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINES
1
Through this Stipulation, and for the reasons set forth below, Barbara Indio
2
("Plaintiff") requested and Wyeth Inc. et. al. ("Defendants") agreed to stipulate to
3
the extension of all remaining pre-trial deadlines and also stipulate to adjourn the
4
trial date of September 20, 2011 to January 17, 2012:
5
WHEREAS, pursuant to the January 12, 2011 Order to Extend Deadlines,
6
this matter is currently set on the Court’s September 20, 2011 trial calendar, with
7
the following upcoming deadlines:
8
Expert Discovery Deadline
June 1, 2011
9
Mediation & Settlement Conference Deadline
June 20, 2011

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel is currently set in 8 Hormone Replacement
Therapy (“HRT”) trials in 3 states over the next year. Each HRT trial, like this
16
17
18
19
20
21
matter, requires substantial logistical planning, extensive coordination of witnesses
and resources, and 4-6 weeks of trial time.
WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel has other civil trials set to begin in the years
2011 and 2012, in addition to cases regarding HRT;
WHEREAS, none of the 8 trials were initially scheduled with consideration
22
of and in coordination with Plaintiff counsel’s other trial dates and locations;
23
WHEREAS, the current overlapping and uncoordinated fact and expert
24
discovery deadlines across the 8 HRT cases are too burdensome to adequately and
25
properly handle by Plaintiff’s counsel because there are as many as 8 expert and
26
15 fact witness depositions per case in multiple states;

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINES
1
WHEREAS, the process to obtain original breast imaging and pathology
2
tissue from multiple hospitals is cumbersome and slow because the treating
3
hospitals are very reluctant to release these materials for outside expert review and
4
testing and this stalls the expert discovery process;
5
WHEREAS, while the Parties have diligently worked together, Plaintiff’s
6
counsel cannot effectively handle 8 simultaneous cases without changes to the
7
pretrial and trial deadlines in various HRT cases;
8
WHEREAS, the Parties have conferred for two weeks to coordinate and
9
revise the scheduling plan across multiple trials set for the years 2011 and 2012
10
and believe that the proposed dates in the motion address the Parties’ concerns,
11
while keeping the cases moving expeditiously towards trial.
12

14
15
For the foregoing reasons, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter
an Order extending all pretrial deadlines as indicated below, and adjourn the trial
date of September 20, 2011 to January 18, 2012:
The new deadlines would read as follows:
16
