`
`
`STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER
`
`WHEREAS, the parties met and conferred regarding an amendment to the discovery
`
`deadlines in the case schedule;
`
`WHEREAS, the proposed extension does not move the deadline to file summary judgment
`
`motions or the trial date; and
`
`WHEREAS, the parties have agreed on extensions to fact and expert discovery deadlines
`
`without prejudice to either or both parties revisiting additional extensions;
`
`NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties,
`
`through their undersigned counsel and subject to the approval of the Court, that the Scheduling
`
`Order (D.I. 46) as previously amended, shall be amended as follows:
`

`
`Defendant Completes Document
`Supplementation For Any Outstanding
`Issues1
`
`1 Defendant agrees to proceed with collection, review and production of documents
`pursuant to Judge Fallon’s discovery orders in this case in a good faith effort to make this
`deadline and agrees, as required by Judge Fallon’s discovery orders, to communicate with
`Plaintiffs’ counsel should it appear there will be complications in meeting this deadline. The
`parties have agreed that if, despite Defendant’s best efforts, the production is not complete by
`this deadline, Plaintiffs will need more time to conduct depositions because Plaintiffs cannot take
`depositions of L’Oréal USA witnesses until L’Oréal USA has produced documents.
