PERRI ELECTRIC, INC. PROFIT

Defendants.

The parties to this action have stipulated, through counsel, to alter the dates for expert

19

disclosure reports. There have been several such requests to extend discovery deadlines. See

20

e.g., ECF No. 26, 22. The present stipulation, however, impacts other portions of the district

21

court’s orders, ECF No. No. 20, and later adjustments found in ECF Nos. 22, 26, insofar as the

22

new dates for expert reports would interfere with an intelligent assessment regarding whether

23

rebuttal experts should be named. In addition the new requested reports date would come after

24

the current date to disclose rebuttal experts, and so shorten the time for expert discovery, that it is

25

unlikely to be able to be completed timely. Nonetheless, the court will give the parties until

26

December 21, 2018 for production of expert reports. No other changes will be made to the

27

scheduling order as it now stands, and any further effort to extend scheduled discovery dates will

28

be rejected without a demonstration of compelling reasons therefor.
