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

STIPULATION AND ORDER AMENDING THE
SCHEDULING ORDER TO EXTEND THE
T I M E FO R E XPE RT DI S CO V E R Y ,
DESIGNATION OF EXPERT WITNESSES,
AND RULE 26 REPORTS

18

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

20

by this Court, that the Scheduling Order, Doc. No. 47, be amended and the expert discovery cutoff, date

21

for designating expert witnesses, and production of their Rule 26 expert reports be moved from March

22

9, 2012, to March 14, 2012, and the expert discovery cutoff date be moved to April 6, 2012. There is

23

good cause for extending these dates. First, it will allow the parties to complete discovery and ensure

24

their experts have ample time to consider all information prior to preparing their Rule 26 expert reports;

25

given Plaintiff identified additional potential witnesses and documents at his February 16, 2012,

26

deposition. Secondly, the parties will be prevented from conducting expert depositions since expert

27

discovery is scheduled cutoff on the same day as the parties are scheduled to exchange expert

28

designations and Rule 26 reports. As such, it appears that the deadline agreed to in the Scheduling
Order, with regard to designation of expert witnesses and preparation of their Rule 26 expert reports, was
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.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
