v.
No. 1:12-cv-1200 LJO-JDP
Plaintiff, STIPULATION AND PROPOSED
ORDER TO MODIFY SCHEDULING
ORDER TO EXTEND EXPERTRELATED DEADLINES BY SEVEN
DAYS
SUSAN HUBBARD, et al.,
Trial Date:
August 27, 2019
Defendants. Action Filed: July 23, 2012
23
24
Under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) and Local Rule 143, the parties, through
25
their counsel of record, agree to and request a modification of the September 4, 2018 Minute
26
Order Scheduling Deadlines (ECF No. 163) to extend the expert-related deadlines by seven days.
27
Good cause exists to grant this stipulated request because Defendants’ expert requires more time
28
to complete his report due to his being in trial and deposition.
1
Stipulation to Modify Scheduling Order to Extend Expert-Related Deadlines (1:12-cv-1200 LJO-JDP)
1
A scheduling order may be modified only upon a showing of good cause and by leave of
2
Court. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A), 16(b)(4); see, e.g., Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975
3
F.2d 604, 609 (describing the factors a court should consider in ruling on such a motion). In
4
considering whether a party moving for a schedule modification has good cause, the Court
5
primarily focuses on the diligence of the party seeking the modification. Johnson, 975 F.2d at
6
609 (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 16 advisory committee’s notes of 1983 amendment). “The district
7
court may modify the pretrial schedule ‘if it cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the
8
party seeking the amendment.’” Id. (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 16 advisory committee notes of 1983
9
amendment).
10
On August 30, 2018, the parties stipulated to, and the Court granted, an extension of the
11
expert-related and dispositive-motion deadlines. (ECF No. 162.) The Court required the parties
12
to disclose expert witnesses by October 9, 2018, provide rebuttal/supplemental reports no later
13
than October 23, and complete expert discovery by November 2. (ECF No. 163.) Defendants
14
require, and Plaintiff agreed to, a seven-day extension to disclose expert witnesses. Defendants’
15
expert was in trial last week, and has been in deposition this week. Despite his diligent efforts, he
16
will be unable complete his expert report by the current deadline. This short extension will allow
17
the expert to complete his report and allow Defendants to make full and complete disclosures.
18
Corresponding extensions of the remaining expert-discovery deadlines is needed to permit the
19
parties sufficient time to complete expert discovery. Good cause therefore exists to modify the
20
expert discovery deadlines as follows:
21
Expert Disclosure
October 16, 2018
22
Rebuttal/Supplemental Expert Disclosure
October 30, 2018
23
Expert Discovery Closes
November 9, 2018

The parties’ proposed modification and request will not affect any other scheduling
deadlines, including the dispositive-motion and trial dates.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
