`
`This motion is not for purposes of delay but to allow the parties to continue to explore
`
`settlement discussions, and to provide additional time to complete discovery.
`
`As the Motion is stipulated between all parties, neither party will be prejudiced by any
`
`delay associated with the extension. In light of the foregoing, Opposer respectfully moves that
`
`the Board reopen the time for the parties to serve Expert Disclosures and extend the proceeding
`
`
`
`
`
`for a period of 60 days as set forth above.
