JOINT STIPULATION
1. Plaintiff John Cress (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Nexo Capital Inc. (“Nexo”) jointly stipulate
to amend the Scheduling Order (Dkt. 93) to extend the deadlines for opening and rebuttal
expert disclosures by one week;
2. On May 7, 2025, the Court amended the Original Scheduling Order (see Dkt. 51, 71). On
November 7, 2025 the Court once again amended the scheduling order at the parties’ request
and set the current case deadlines in the Amended Scheduling Order (Dkt. 93). Among other
things, the Amended Scheduling Order sets the disclosure of expert witnesses on April 13,
2026, and the disclosure of rebuttal expert witnesses on May 29, 2026;
3. The parties have been working diligently to complete fact discovery and prepare their
respective experts;
4. Due to scheduling and logistical issues affecting completion of remaining discovery and
expert preparation, the parties agree that a brief one-week extension of the expert report
disclosure deadlines is warranted;
5. The requested extension is narrow, sought in good faith, and will not affect any other
deadlines;
6. Accordingly, pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2, 7-12, 16-2, and 40-1, the parties respectfully
request that the Court amend the Amended Scheduling Order (Dkt. 93) to extend the
deadlines for opening and rebuttal expert disclosures by one week, as set forth below.

JOINT DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATION
1. Good cause exists to amend the Scheduling Order because, despite the parties’ diligent
efforts, scheduling and logistical issues affecting the completion of remaining discovery and
final expert preparation necessitate a brief one-week extension of the expert disclosure
deadlines.
2. The requested modification is narrow, sought in good faith, and will not affect any other case
deadlines.
3. This is the third request for amendment of the Court’s Original Scheduling Order.
4. Because the parties agree, no party will be prejudiced by the requested relief, and the brief
extension will promote orderly completion of expert preparation.
5. The parties thank the Court in advance for its understanding and accommodation.
