Defendant and Counterclaimant, Blockbuster Inc., by and through undersigned counsel, will and hereby moves this Court for an order amending the Court's Case Management Order because of an unexpected medical problem requiring that Blockbuster's damages expert undergo cancer surgery on less than a week's notice and during the same week when his report is due. Blockbuster retained Jeffrey Kinrich as its damages expert and arranged for him to respond to the damages report submitted on Friday, May 4, by Netflix's expert, David Teece. With that work in progress, Blockbuster's counsel learned for the first time on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 9, 2007, that Mr. Kinrich had just been scheduled to undergo cancer surgery the following Tuesday, May 15, 2007. Mr. Kinrich himself had just learned of the need for the surgery the preceding day. Mr. Kinrich's surgery is scheduled during the same week in which his responsive report on damages is currently due. Blockbuster seeks a one week extension of time to permit Mr. Kinrich an opportunity to prepare his report, and a corresponding one-week extension of the deadline for Netflix's reply report on damages. Netflix does not oppose the modification sought by Blockbuster. Specifically, Blockbuster requests that the following deadlines be modified:
Description Deadline for Blockbuster's responsive expert report on damages issues Deadline for Netflix's reply report on damages issues
Current Deadline May 18, 2007
Proposed Deadline May 25, 2007
May 25, 2007
June 1, 2007
This one-week extension will not impact the expert discovery cut-off previously ordered by the Court. Therefore, the requested modification is not expected to effect the progress of this case towards trial.
