Through this Stipulation, and for the reasons set forth below, Plaintiff Bettie

WHEREAS, pursuant to the December 3, 2010 Order to Extend All

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
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;
23
WHEREAS, none of the 8 HRT trials were initially scheduled with
24
consideration of and in coordination with Plaintiff counsel’s other trial dates and
25
locations;

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINES
1
WHEREAS, the current overlapping and uncoordinated fact and expert
2
discovery deadlines across the 8 HRT cases are too burdensome to adequately and
3
properly handle by Plaintiff’s counsel because there are as many as 8 expert and
4
15 fact witness depositions per case in multiple states;
5
WHEREAS, the process to obtain original breast imaging and pathology
6
tissue from multiple hospitals is cumbersome and slow because the treating
7
hospitals are very reluctant to release these materials for outside expert review and
8
testing and this stalls the expert discovery process;
9
WHEREAS, while the Parties have diligently worked together, Plaintiff’s
10
counsel cannot effectively handle 8 simultaneous cases without changes to the
11
pretrial and trial deadlines in various HRT cases;
12
13
14
15
WHEREAS, the Parties have conferred for two weeks to coordinate and
revise the scheduling plan across multiple trials set for the years 2011 and 2012
and believe that the proposed dates in the motion address the Parties’ concerns,
while keeping the cases moving expeditiously towards trial.

For the foregoing reasons, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter
