`
`
`Case 1:18-cv-12029-ADB Document 245 Filed 01/06/22 Page 2 of 5
`
`Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 29 and Local Rules 7.1 and 40.3, Plaintiffs Teva
`
`Pharmaceuticals International GmbH and Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. (collectively,
`
`“Plaintiffs” or “Teva”) and Defendant Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly” or “Defendant”)
`
`(collectively with Teva, “the Parties”) jointly move the Court to extend the time for the Parties to
`
`complete expert discovery by twelve (12) days, i.e., from January 20, 2022 to February 1, 2022,
`
`with the deadlines in the Court’s scheduling order for dispositive motion briefing (including
`
`Daubert motions) each extended by seven (7) days. For the reasons set forth below, these
`
`extensions are respectfully believed to be appropriate and necessary.
`
`The Parties last jointly amended the Court’s scheduling order via a Joint Motion filed
`
`October 11, 2021 (ECF No. 178), which the Court granted on October 12, 2021 (ECF No. 179).
`
`As grounds for this Joint Motion, the Parties state as follows:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`The current deadline for close of expert discovery is January 20, 2022.
`
`In view of difficulties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as issues
`
`relating to the Court’s December 20, 2021 Order (ECF No. 236), which in relevant part denied
`
`Lilly’s Motion to Exclude Dr. Geoffrey Hale as an Expert and Prevent Disclosure of Protected
`
`Information (ECF No. 181), the Parties require more time to complete expert discovery.
`
`3.
`
`In view of the proposed extension of the close of expert discovery by twelve (12)
`
`days, the Parties have further agreed to a short seven-day extension of each of the three deadlines
`
`for opening dispositive motions, oppositions, and replies.
`
`4.
`
`The Parties have been diligent in conferring regarding these issues, and are
`
`promptly filing this joint motion upon reaching agreement on a modest schedule extension.

`
`5.
`
`In addition, there is no meaningful prejudice to either party or the Court for the
`
`brief extensions, as they provide each party additional time to complete expert discovery and brief
`
`dispositive motions and would not materially change the timeline for trial.
`
`6.
`
`Although the current schedule proposes trial in April/May 2022 or at a time
`
`otherwise convenient for the Court, no specific trial date has been set in this case.
`
`7.
`
`The Parties’ jointly proposed amendments to the schedule are as follows. All other
`
`dates remain unchanged:
`
`Current Deadline
`January 20, 2022
`February 17, 2022
`
`Event
`Close of expert discovery
`Deadline to file dispositive
`motions including Daubert
`Opposition to MSJ/Daubert March 10, 2022
`Reply to MSJ/Daubert
`March 24, 2022
`
`
`Amended Deadline
`February 1, 2022
`February 24, 2022
`
`March 17, 2022
`March 31, 2022
`
`WHEREFORE, the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter an order allowing this
`
`Joint Motion and amending the current case schedule as set forth above.
