Plaintiff Lamont Crossley (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Abraham Niazi, R.N. and Dr.

1
2

Richard P. Galloway (“Defendants”) (collectively, the “Parties”) hereby stipulate and respectfully

3

request that the Court extend the expert disclosure deadline based on the following facts and

4

circumstances:

5
6

WHEREAS, on November 30, 2016, the Court issued an order setting this case for trial on
October 16, 2017 (ECF No. 96);

7

WHEREAS, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2), absent a stipulation or court order, the

8

current deadline for the Parties to make expert witness disclosures is July 18, 2017 (90 days

9

before trial);

10

WHEREAS, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(3), the current deadline for the Parties to

11

make pretrial disclosures regarding the evidence they may present at trial is September 15, 2017

12

(30 days before trial);

13
14

WHEREAS, on April 11, 2017, the Court issued an order setting a settlement conference
before Judge Newman on August 8, 2017 (ECF No. 100);

15

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that while they intend to present expert testimony at trial,

16

the disclosure of any such expert witnesses is not necessary for the Parties to engage in

17

meaningful settlement discussions and any settlement of this case prior to trial would obviate the

18

need to retain expert witnesses;

19

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that an extension of the expert witness disclosure deadline

20

to September 15, 2017 will avoid any potentially needless waste of time and resources without

21

otherwise affecting the trial schedule or the Parties’ ability to participate in meaningful settlement

22

discussions.
