`
`
`
`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. (“PMP”) (“Counterclaim
`
`Plaintiffs”) (together, the “Parties”) hereby submit this Joint Motion to Modify Scheduling Order
`
`(Dkt. No. 99).
`
`The parties conferred on March 30, 2021 and agreed to jointly request a 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. P. 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 change certain deadlines that relate to necessary pre-trial disclosures and
`
`dispositive motions. The modified and additional deadlines will provide the parties with time to
`
`complete expert discovery, dispositive motions, and pre-trial filings before trial in this case.
`
`Accordingly, the prompt resolution of this case will not be affected. Additionally, the Parties agree
`
`that the requested additional deadlines are appropriate and consistent with the practice in this
`
`District.
`
`The Parties request that the Court treat the currently scheduled pretrial conference on April
`
`16, 2021 as a status conference to discuss pretrial preparations and scheduling.
`
`The Parties request that the Court set the additional Scheduling Order deadlines as follows:
