Plaintiffs J.C. Eaglesmith, Eileen Cox and Bruce Barnes allege in their Complaint
23
that defendants’ conduct caused them emotional distress. Because they thereby placed
24
their mental condition at issue, they agreed to submit to an independent medical
25
examination by defendants’ expert Dr. Jeff Gould. In the course of examining each
26
27
28
plaintiff, Dr. Gould conducted various psychological tests, and enlisted Dr. Bronson to
analyze the results.
Plaintiffs have requested that defendants produce the tests and test results in
Eaglesmith v. Ray, Case No. 2:11-cv-00098-JAM-JFM
1st Amended Stip. and Order to Produce IME tests and test results to parties- 1
1
order that plaintiffs can prepare cross examination of Dr. Gould and any other
2
defendant expert that relies on those tests and test results. According to defendant’s

attorneys, Dr. Gould believes that the ethical rules of the American Psychiatric
Association preclude him from sharing “the test and raw data results” with anyone
other than a licensed clinical psychologist or psychiatrist.
On July 27, 2011, the parties entered a Stipulation for Protective Order (Dkt. No.
47). The Court signed the Order on July 29, 2011.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 35(b)(1) entitles the person examined to be provided with a copy of
the medical examiner’s written report and requires that the report include “in detail* * *
12
the results of any tests.” Rule35(b)(5) grants to the Court the authority to order on
13
motion that the party deliver the report, as defined by Rule 35(b)(1), and “[i]f the report
14
is not provided, the court may exclude the examiner’s testimony at trial.”

Therefore, plaintiffs and defendants hereby stipulate that the Court enter an
Order that directs Dr. Jeff Gould to produce the tests and test results to the parties’
attorneys.
