v.

Case No.: 1:16-cv-01811 - DAD - JLT
ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION TO
AMEND CASE SCHEDULE
(Doc. 71)

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
INTERIOR, et al.,

15
Defendants.

17

The parties have stipulated to amend the case schedule due to unanticipated misfortunes

18

that have befallen the plaintiff’s counsel. (Doc. 71) Though the Court will grant the stipulation,

19

doing so requires the pretrial conference and trial dates to be modified1. Moreover, to provide a

20

trial date with Judge Drozd that isn’t already double or triple set, the Court must select a trial date

21

toward the end of January. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

22

1.

The parties SHALL disclose their experts2 no later than March 29, 2019;

23

2.

The parties SHALL file dispositive motions, if any, no later than July 16, 2019 and

24

heard no later than August 20, 2019;

25

3.

The pretrial conference is CONTINUED to November 25, 2019 at 3:30 p.m.

The stipulation does not allow for the intervals required by Judge Drozd between the various activities.
The stipulation does not provide for a rebuttal expert disclosure date. Presumably, counsel have discussed the
experts that will be disclosed and have determined that rebuttal experts are unneeded .
