The parties respectfully submit this joint motion to modify the Court's May 25, 2005, scheduling order. Defendants will need additional time to complete expert disclosures as a result of the death of one of Defendants' experts. This proposal does not alter the November 30, 2005, deadline for completing discovery as set forth in the Court's prior order. This new schedule would, however, give the parties additional time to complete expert disclosures and could possibly facilitate settlement. Accordingly, pursuant to RCFC 6.1, the parties request that the Court modify its May 25, 2005, scheduling order as follows: August 15, 2005 Plaintiffs identify and disclose expert witnesses pursuant to Rule 26(a)(2) of the Court's Rules. September 30, 2005 Defendant identifies and discloses expert witnesses pursuant to Rule 26(a)(2) of the Court's Rules. November 30, 2005 December 14, 2005 January 10, 2006 Close of discovery. Post-discovery joint status report due. Post-discovery telephonic status conference.
