   ORDER: The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's motion 22 , representing that most of the issues between the parties that were discussed in the 7/29/2026 Discovery Hearing have been resolved and that Defendant has agreed to produce Captain Gathard for deposition upon his return from sea, and accordingly requesting an extension of time to complete discovery on behalf of the parties. In light of Plaintiff's representations, the motion is granted, on consent. The following deadlines are extended. Fact discovery shall be completed on or before 9/30/2026. The parties are directed to file a joint status report certifying the close of fact discovery by 10/9/2026. Exchange of expert disclosures shall be completed by 11/16/2026. Exchange of rebuttal expert reports shall be completed by 12/28/2026. Expert depositions shall be completed by 2/5/2027. All expert discovery shall be completed by 2/12/2027, and certification of the completion of all discovery shall be filed on ECF by 2/22/2027. The last date to take the first step in dispositive motion practice is 3/22/2027, and must be done in accordance with the Individual Rules of the assigned district judge. In light of the age of this case and the generosity of the discovery extensions granted to date, the parties are respectfully advised that further requests to extend the discovery schedule are unlikely to be viewed favorably in the absence of unforeseen circumstances.

   In the parties' joint status report certifying the close of fact discovery, the parties are directed to apprise the Court as to the status of the parties' anticipated private mediation, see Letter, ECF 17, and, if the parties are not pursuing private mediation, whether the parties are prepared for a referral to the Court-annexed mediation program or a settlement conference before the Court. Ordered by Magistrate Judge Taryn A. Merkl on 8/27/2026. (MJM)
