IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed by and between the UNITED STATES,
LENNAR MARE ISLAND, LLC (“LMI”), CH2M HILL CONSTRUCTORS, INC. (“CCI”),
and STEADFAST INSURANCE COMPANY (“STEADFAST”), and subject to approval by
the Court, as follows:
1.

The parties are currently scheduled to exchange and file expert written reports

under Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 26(a)(2)(B) on May 3, 2017.
2.

The parties expect some of those reports, the supporting documentation for

those reports, or both, to be extremely voluminous. The parties are concerned that documents
of this magnitude will be rejected by the Court’s electronic filing system. In addition, some of
the documents are Excel spreadsheets and it will be difficult to format those documents into
usable PDF versions that may be uploaded to the Court’s system.
3.

Accordingly, the parties have agreed, subject to approval by the Court pursuant

to the attached [Proposed] Order, to file only the expert written reports and to electronically
submit to the Court and serve on the other parties any supporting documentation for those
reports. The parties propose using USB “thumb” drives but will use any other method
requested by the Court.
