("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 10 Non-Dispositive Motions Deadline June 17, 2011 11 Dispositive Motions Deadline July 1, 2011 Final Pretrial Conference Date August 8, 2011 Trial Date September 20, 2011 12 13 14 15 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; 27 28 29 30 31 2 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 13 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 Expert Discovery Deadline July 29, 2011 Mediation & Settlement Conference Deadline August 15, 2011 Non-Dispositive Motions Deadline September 5, 2011 Non-Dispositive Motion Hearing October 17, 2011 Dispositive Motions Deadline October 3, 2011 22 Dispositive Motion Hearing November 14, 2011 23 Final Pretrial Conference Date December 5, 2011 24 Trial Date January 18, 2012 17 18 19 20 21 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 3 STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINES 1 Dated: June 6, 2011 By: /s/ Richard L.
