`

`Case 1:20-cv-00393-LO-TCB Document 819 Filed 01/12/22 Page 2 of 5 PageID# 21454
`
`Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and Local Rule 7, RAI Strategic Holdings,
`
`Inc. and R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company (collectively, “Reynolds”) and Altria Client Services LLC,
`
`Philip Morris USA Inc., and Philip Morris Products S.A. (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) (together, the
`
`“Parties”) hereby submit this Joint Motion to modify the scheduling order (Dkt. 801) setting in
`
`limine/Daubert motion dates.
`
`Good cause exists to grant this motion. See FED. R. CIV. P. 16(b)(4) (“A schedule may be
`
`modified only for good cause and with the judge’s consent.”). The requested modifications only
`
`alter the deadlines relating to the parties’ filings of Motions in Limine and Daubert motions. A
`
`hearing date on these motions has not yet been set. The modified deadlines will provide the parties
`
`with additional time to meet and confer to potentially negotiate additional stipulations that will
`
`narrow the issues for the Court to resolve. The briefing for these motions will still be completed
`
`before trial in this case. Accordingly, the prompt resolution of this case will not be affected and
`
`the requested modification will not impact any other deadlines.
`
`The Parties request that the Court amend the Scheduling Order deadlines as follows:
`
`Event
`Opening MILs and Daubert motions
`Oppositions to MILs and Daubert motions
`Replies to MILs and Daubert motions
`
`Current Deadline
`January 14, 2022
`January 28, 2022
`February 3, 2022
`
`Proposed Deadline
`January 21, 2022
`February 11, 2022
`February 25, 2022
`
`For the reasons above, the Parties respectfully request that the Court grant this motion and
`
`
`
`amend the deadlines in the Scheduling Order as set forth above. A proposed order is submitted
`
`herewith. The Parties agree to waive oral argument on this motion.
