ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART JOINT STIPULATED REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT OF CASE SCHEDULE
Presently before the Court is the Parties' Joint Stipulated Request for an Order Amending the Case Schedule. The parties represent to the Court that a settlement has been agreed upon in principle, and request additional time to finalize the terms of such a settlement. (Id. at 2-3.)
(Joint Stipulated Request Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2 for Order Amending the Case Schedule, hereafter, "Stipulated Request," Docket Item No. 109.)
Upon review, the Court finds goods cause to amend the case schedule to allow the parties to continue their settlement efforts. However, the Court does not find good cause to delay the hearing on Motions to Exclude Expert Testimony currently scheduled for October 31, 2011.
Accordingly, the Court GRANTS in part the parties' Stipulated Request, and adopts all proposed dates, except as to the October 31 hearing. The parties shall comply with the modified schedule as follows: Last Date for Hearing Motions to Exclude Expert Testimony October 31, 2011 Last Date for Hearing Dispositive Motions March 12, 2012 Preliminary Pretrial Conference February 20, 2012 Joint Preliminary Pretrial Statement February 10, 2012
