`
`
`
`Pursuant Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Local Rule 7, Plaintiffs RAI Strategic
`
`Holdings, Inc. and R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company (“Reynolds”) and Defendants Altria Client
`
`Services LLC, Philip Morris USA Inc., and Philip Morris Products S.A. (“Counterclaim
`
`Plaintiffs”) (together, the “Parties”) hereby submit this Joint Motion to Modify Scheduling Order
`
`(Dkt. No. 99).
`
`The parties conferred on March 18, 2021 and agreed to jointly request a modest
`
`modification of the Scheduling Order, which provides for certain additional deadlines related to
`
`expert disclosures.
`
`Good cause exists to grant this motion. See FED. R. CIV. PRO. 16(b)(4) (“A schedule may
`
`be modified only for good cause and with the judge’s consent.”). The requested modifications to
`
`the Scheduling Order add certain deadlines that relate to necessary expert disclosures. The
`
`additional deadlines will be completed by the April 12, 2021 discovery cut off (Dkt. 461).
`
`Accordingly, the Court’s current schedule will not be affected. Additionally, the Parties agree that
`
`the requested additional deadlines are appropriate.
`
`The Parties request that the Court set the additional Scheduling Order deadlines as follows:
`
`Agreed Proposed Dates
`
`March 12, 2021
`
`March 24, 2021
