BRUCE RISEMAN,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No. 2:14-cv-02656-MCE-CKD
STIPULATION AND ORDER RE
LIMITED ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al.
Defendants.

13
14

This is a medical malpractice case brought under the Federal Tort Claims Act. (See Compl.,

15

Dkt. No. 1). The current discovery cut-off is April 11, 2016. (Order, Dkt. No. 9, at 2:1-8). In view

16

of the Court’s March 22, 2016, ruling on the United States’ motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No.

17

20), the parties wish to conduct limited discovery beyond the discovery period. Therefore, the

18

parties hereby stipulate, and propose, that the following discovery may continue beyond the current

19

April 11, 2016, discovery period:

20
21
22
23
24

1. Deposition of Plaintiff Bruce Riseman, to be scheduled at a mutually convenient date on
or before June 10, 2016;
2. Deposition of Dr. Peter Wroblicky, to be scheduled at a mutually convenient date on or
before June 10, 2016;
3. Plaintiff’s response to the United States’ Interrogatories, Requests for Admission, and
Requests for Production, served on or about March 4, 2016, shall be served not later than
May 2, 2016.

25

In light of these extensions, the parties further stipulate, and propose, that they may file motions to

26

compel related to the particular discovery set forth above so long as such motions are filed on or

27

before June 10, 2016.

28

30

The parties stipulate that good cause exists to permit this limited extension because it will
1

1

permit efficient and fair discovery of this case, which will increase the opportunity for resolution and

2

permit the parties to prepare for an efficient presentation at trial, if trial is necessary. The parties do

3

not request an extension of the trial date or any other date at this time, except as set forth above.

Respectfully submitted,
