ORDER
Quinn’s motion for a short extension of her expert disclosure deadline,
Document No. 73, is denied. We are too deep in the case for a complete shift
in focus from the airbags to pretensioners. As best the Court can tell, the
information about pretensioners gained during the Autoliv deposition echoed
information already in Quinn’s possession. Quinn must identify her experts
and provide their opinions by 22 July 2011. All other deadlines remain
unchanged.
As to Autoliv, the record is now clear that this company had nothing to
do with the seatbelts or the pretensioners. Document No. 76-1. The Court
therefore takes Quinn at her word, Document No. 73 at 4, and dismisses all
claims against Autoliv without prejudice. Autoliv’s motion to file a late
answer, Document No. 68, is denied as moot.
So Ordered.
