THOM TAYLOR, Plaintiff, v. GEORGE C. VISMAN, individually and as Trustee of the GEORGE C. VISMAN REVOCABLE TRUST dba HIGH HILL RANCH, and DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, Defendants.

CASE NO.: 2:10-CV-00360-GEB-KJM JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE INITIAL AND REBUTTAL EXPERT WITNESS DISCLOSURES

Plaintiff, THOM TAYLOR ("Plaintiff") and Defendant, GEORGE C. VISMAN, individually and as Trustee of the GEORGE C. VISMAN REVOCABLE TRUST dba HIGH HILL RANCH ("Defendant"), by and through their respective counsel, hereby
1 Case No. 2:10-CV-00360-GEB-KJM JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE INITIAL AND REBUTTAL EXPERT WITNESS DISCLOSURES SAC 441,758,897v5 7-12-10 Dockets.Justia.com

jointly stipulate and request that the Court grant a 60-day continuance of the initial expert witness disclosure deadline (July 16, 2010) and the rebuttal expert witness disclosure deadline (August 16, 2010) as set out in this Court's Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order filed on June 8, 2010 based on the following good cause: 1. Plaintiff filed his action on February 11, 2010 seeking renovations to

HIGH HILL RANCH in Placerville, California to improve disabled access, as well as seeking damages and attorney's fees, litigation expenses, and costs. 2. Defendant filed its answer to the Complaint on June 4, 2010. Since that

time, the parties have begun settlement discussions, but additional information is required. Both parties believe that the opportunities for settlement are enhanced by saving the expense of expert witness costs at this time. 3. The parties wish to continue the initial and rebuttal expert witness

disclosure deadlines to allow the parties an opportunity to work towards resolution of this matter. 4. While the parties are working in good faith to resolve this matter, the

initial and rebuttal exchange disclosure dates currently loom at July 16, 2010 and August 16, 2010. Forcing the parties to have their experts finalize their opinions and issue reports at this time would significantly increase the cost of the case without increasing the likelihood of settlement. 5. The parties therefore jointly request that the Court grant a continuance of

the initial expert witness disclosure deadline from July 16, 2010 to September 16, 2010 and the rebuttal expert witness disclosure deadline from August 16, 2010 to October 15, 2010 to allow the parties an opportunity to negotiate resolution of Plaintiff's claims before engaging in discovery and motion practice. 6. A continuance will not affect any of the other deadlines in this case, as the

discovery cut-off is not until December 15, 2010, and the last day to hear motions is February 7, 2011. Trial of this matter is not until July 26, 2011. IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED as follows:
