` JOINT MOTION REGARDING PRE-TRIAL ISSUES
In furtherance of the efficient administration of this proceeding, the parties to this l
action collectively bring this Joint Motion Regarding Pre—Trial Issues (the "Joint Motion"). The
parties respectfully request that the Court grant the following relief: (i) that Plaintiff be
permitted to add an affirmative defense; and (ii) that the schedule for expert disclosure be revised y
without impacting the discovery cut—off date.
I
The parties are g seeking to extend the final discovery deadline of January I2,
2004. This is the second motion to amend the dates in the Pre—Tria1 Schedule, and there is good
cause to grant this Joint Motion. First, Plaintiff is seeking to amend its Reply to Defendant’s
counterclaim and in the interest of efficiency, Defendant is not objecting to this amendment. l
Second, Defendant is seeking additional time to complete non-rebuttal expert
reports required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26. The reports are currently due on November I0, 2003, and
Defendant foresees that, despite reasonable diligence, additional time will be necessary. Plaintiff l
I
does not object to an extension of the time to exchange non-rebuttal expert reports, provided that

the extension applies to both parties. An adjustment to the pre-trial schedule can be ordered
