1

follows:

2

1. Pursuant to L.R. 6-2(a)(2), there have been thirteen time modifications in the case; two

3

of which have changed the expert discovery deadline; there has been no previous modification to the

4

deadline to file a motion to compel expert discovery specific to Peter Krasnoff alone.

5

2. The expert deposition of Peter Krasnoff started on April 3, 2013. KFD and the

6

defendants have been negotiating additional time to depose Mr. Krasnoff since December 2012.

7

Recently, the parties scheduled a second day of testimony, to take place on June 5, 2013. Rather than

8

bring a motion for additional time in excess of one additional day before the fact, the City seeks the

9

right to ask for additional time past the second day if, upon its competition, the City believes further

10

additional time is needed to fairly examine Mr. Krasnoff.

11

3. The Court’s Order pursuant to stipulation adopted on January 4, 2013 (Doc. No. 578)

12

set a deadline of May 24, 2013 to file motions regarding expert discovery. Accordingly, the current

13

deadline for the City to file a motion to compel expert discovery is almost two weeks before Mr.

14

Krasnoff’s deposition.

15

4. The City has sought a continuation of the trial date and all pre-trial dates, including the

16

deadline to bring a motion regarding expert discovery. However, pursuant to Court Order Re:

17

Briefing On Motion to Continue Trial Date, dated May 14, 2013 (Doc. No. 594), the Court will not

18

hear argument on the City’s request to extend pre-trial deadlines and the trial date until May 30,

19

2013, almost a week after the current deadline to file a motion regarding expert discovery.

20

5. In the event that the Court declines to grant the City’s request to extend the pre-trial

21

dates, including the deadline to bring a motion regarding expert discovery, the City hereby reserves

22

its right to bring a motion regarding additional time to depose expert Peter Krasnoff by this

23

stipulation.

24

6. This proposed, limited extension of the expert discovery deadline regarding the

25

deposition testimony of expert Peter Krasnoff will not alter any other deadlines in the case.

26

Moreover, any order changing the pre-trial dates granted by the Court will take precedence over this

27

stipulation.

28

THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree, subject to the Court’s approval, to the following
___________
