The parties' joint motion (Filing No. 22) to modify the final progression order by extending and reopening certain deadlines is granted for good cause shown.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the final progression order is as follows:
1) The trial and pretrial conference will not be set at this time. The status conference to discuss case progression, the parties' interest in settlement, and the trial and pretrial conference settings currently set for June 25, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. by telephone is continued and will be held with the undersigned magistrate judge on February 25, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. by telephone. Counsel shall use the conferencing instructions assigned to this case to participate in the conference.

While treating medical and mental health care providers are generally not considered “specially retained experts,” not all their opinions relate to the care and treatment of a patient. Their opinion testimony is limited to what is stated within their treatment documentation. As to each such expert, any opinions which are not stated within that expert's treatment records and reports must be separately and timely disclosed.
For the plaintiff(s): October 18, 2024.
For the defendant(s): December 20, 2024.
Plaintiff(s)' rebuttal: January 21, 2025.

7) All other deadlines and provisions in the final progression order, Filing No. 13, are unchanged.
