Before the Court is an Amended Joint Proposed Scheduling/Discovery Plan. (Doc. No.
19). The parties jointly request that certain scheduling order deadlines be amended.
At 	this 	time, 	the 	Court 	ADOPTS 	IN 	PART 	the 	parties’ 	stipulation. 	While 	not
theoretically opposed to counsel’s request to base the deadlines on future dispositive motion
decisions, for clarity’s sake, the Court will amend the deadlines to the dates certain provided by
the parties. If the parties wish to further amend these deadlines after a dispositive order is issued,
they may file another stipulation at that time.
As such, the Court amends the scheduling plan as follows.
1. 	The parties shall make by May 27, 2020, Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures;
2. 	The parties shall provide the names of expert witnesses and complete reports
under Rule 26(a)(2) as follows:
Plaintiffs: August 14, 2020
Defendants: September 15, 2020
3. 	The parties shall have until October 16, 2020, to complete discovery depositions
of expert witnesses.
