SIERRA PACIFIC INDUSTRIES Defendant.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b) and Local Rule 6-144, the parties to this action hereby jointly request a ninety (90) day extension of the expert witness deadline in the instant litigation.

extended leave from October 26th through November 20th. The requested extension will allow a reasonable amount of time for counsel to analyze the voluminous documents and to determine what documents, if any, are relevant to the expert testimony in this case. The extension will also allow time for experts to review the documents, if needed. To allow for the foregoing, an extension of the designation deadline of experts and disclosure of their corresponding reports is necessary. Based on the foregoing, the parties respectfully request that the expert disclosure deadline be extended to January 4, 2010. E-FILING CONCURRENCE: I, the undersigned, attest that I have obtained the concurrence of all counsel for the filing of the instant pleading.
