`
`Plaintiff NuVasive, Inc. (“NuVasive”) and defendants Alphatec Spine, Inc.
`and Alphatec Holdings, Inc. (collectively, “Alphatec”), by and through their
`respective counsel, jointly request that the Court extend the deadline for post-trial
`motions from April 22, 2022 to May 20, 2022.
`RECITALS
`WHEREAS, a jury trial between NuVasive and Alphatec was held from
`March 1, 2022 through March 4, 2022 and March 7, 2022 through March 10, 2022;
`WHEREAS, the jury returned a verdict on March 11, 2022;
`WHEREAS, on March 11, 2022, the Court ordered post-trial motions to be
`filed by April 22, 2022;
`WHEREAS, on March 15, 2022, the Court ordered the parties to schedule a
`post-verdict settlement conference to take place no later than April 8, 2022;
`WHEREAS, on March 28, 2022, NuVasive and Alphatec had a post-verdict
`settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Dembin;
`WHEREAS, NuVasive and Alphatec reached a settlement in principle at the
`post-verdict settlement conference;
`WHEREAS, NuVasive and Alphatec are currently finalizing the terms of the
`settlement agreement;
`WHEREAS, the Court scheduled a Settlement Disposition Conference for
`April 28, 2022;
`WHEREAS, NuVasive and Alphatec believe that postponement of the post-
`trial motion deadline to May 20, 2022, will allow the Parties to finalize their
`settlement without burdening this Court unnecessarily;
`THEREFORE, NuVasive and Alphatec request the Court to extend the
`deadline for post-trial motions from April 22, 2022, to May 20, 2022.
`The proposed deadline is intended to facilitate the efficient resolution of the
`matter. It will allow the parties to further engage in productive discussions while

`finalizing the settlement agreement without having to burden the Parties and the
`Court with additional and potentially unnecessary briefing.
`Accordingly, good cause exists to extend the deadline for post-trial motions
`from April 22, 2022 to May 20, 2022.
