EXPERT DISCLOSURE DEADLINE

Plaintiffs,

No. 2:11-cv-00414 MCE-KJN

v.
DOCTORS HOSPITAL OF MANTECA,
INC. et al.,
Defendants.

Pursuant to Local Rules 143 and 144, the parties stipulate and ask the Court to enter an
order extending the expert disclosure deadline in this matter by 4 days, to May 5, 2017.
Pursuant to the Scheduling Order, disclosure of expert witnesses is scheduled to take place
by May 1, 2017. ECF No. 145, at 2. This is the first request for an extension of that deadline.
Discovery was to have been completed by March 1, 2017. The parties initially agreed on a
date for the deposition of Defendant Dr. Bangi that was during the discovery period. Due to a
combination of factors, including the doctor’s health issues, his international travel, and the fact
that he has relocated to Saudi Arabia which necessitated coordinating the rescheduled deposition
dates based on serious time-zone discrepancies, Dr. Bangi’s deposition was delayed. The court
reporter was only able to make the transcript of Dr. Bangi’s deposition available to counsel this

morning, on April 28. 2017. In order to allow all parties’ experts an opportunity to review the

deposition transcript of Dr. Bangi, and incorporate that testimony into their reports, the parties ask

3

that the deadline for expert disclosures be extended by four days, to May 5, 2017.
