CASE NO.: 1:10-CV-01617-LJO-BAM

ORDER AMENDING THE SCHEDULING
ORDER TO EXTEND THE TIME FOR
DESIGNATION OF EXPERT WITNESSES
AND RULE 26 REPORTS

19
20

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between the parties, through their respective counsel, and ordered

21

by this Court, that the Scheduling Order, Doc. No. 47, be amended and that the date for designating

22

expert witnesses and produce their Rule 26 expert reports be moved from January 9, 2012, to March 9,

23

2012. There is good cause for extending these dates. First, discovery in the matter is not set to close

24

until March 9, 2012, and requiring such early disclosure of experts before the discovery cutoff date will

25

result in the needless expense in both time and resources on the preparation of supplemental reports to

26

address any newly discovered evidence. As such, it appears that the deadline agreed to in the Scheduling

27

Order, with regard to designation of expert witnesses and preparation of their Rule 26 expert reports, was

28

a bit too optimistic. Furthermore, the proposed amended deadlines do not alter the pretrial conference

1

nor the trial date as agreed to in the Scheduling Order, Doc. No. 47.

2

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
