MANZANILLO, Case No. 3:12-cv-05983-JST 23 Plaintiff, 24 v. STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER MODIFYING EXPERT DISCLOSURE DEADLINES 25 GREGORY D. LEWIS, et al., 26 Defendants. 27 28 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO MODIFY EXPERT DISCLOSURE DEADLINES / CASE NO. 3:12CV-05983-JST 1 Plaintiff Raymond Manzanillo (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants N. Brown, Gregory D. Lewis, J. 2 Hallock, K. McGuyer, Matthew Cate, and T.A. Wood (“Defendants”) (collectively the “Parties”) by and 3 through their counsel hereby stipulate and jointly request the Court to modify certain deadlines in the 4 Scheduling Order issued on May 18, 2016 (Dkt. No. 199). 5 The current expert disclosure deadline is September 9, 2016. Plaintiff retained a psychiatric 6 expert to provide testimony about his emotional distress damages resulting from the incident described 7 in the First Amended Complaint. To provide that testimony, the expert must perform an evaluation of 8 Plaintiff, which is expected to last about eight hours. Plaintiff is currently incarcerated in Kern Valley 9 State Prison in Delano, California. Last week, the Litigation Coordinator for that prison informed 10 Plaintiff’s counsel that they did not have a room available for such an evaluation until September 19, 11 2016. As a result, given the current expert disclosure schedule, Plaintiff’s expert cannot evaluate 12 Plaintiff in time to draft a report to comply those deadlines. 13 The Parties agree that the upcoming summary judgment motions will not involve issues 14 regarding Plaintiff’s emotional distress damages, but may involve expert testimony regarding liability 15 issues. Plaintiff has retained an correctional practices expert that may provide testimony during the 16 summary judgment briefing. Plaintiff will be able to make a proper disclosure of this expert, along with 17 the corresponding report, in compliance with the current disclosure schedule. 18 To conserve resources and to allow Plaintiff’s psychiatric expert sufficient time to perform a 19 proper examination of Plaintiff, the Parties stipulate to defer disclosure of damages experts until after the 20 Court decides any dispositive motions, such as motions for summary judgment. Modifying the schedule 21 in this manner will allow the Parties to avoid any unnecessary expenditure of resources. The Parties also 22 stipulate to keep the current disclosure schedule for liability experts so that the Parties will have the 23 opportunity to have that information, take appropriate depositions, and make appropriate rebuttal 24 disclosures (if needed) prior to any summary judgment motions are filed. Accordingly, the Parties 25 request that damages expert disclosures be done on the following schedule: Disclosures due by 26 December 1, 2016, Rebuttal Disclosures due by December 15, 2016, and Expert Discovery Cut-off on 27 December 30, 2016. 28 // 2 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO MODIFY EXPERT DISCLOSURE DEADLINES / CASE NO. 3:12CV-05983-JST 1 The Parties proposed the following modified schedule: 2 3 Event Date 4 Fact discovery cut-off September 3, 2016 5 Liability Expert disclosures September 9, 2016 Liability Expert rebuttal September 30, 2016 Liability Expert discovery cut-off October 14, 2016 Deadline to file dispositive motions October 21, 2016 10 Damages Expert disclosures December 1, 2016 11 Damages Expert rebuttal December 15, 2016 12 Damages Expert discovery cut-off December 30, 2016 13 Pretrial conference statement due January 10, 2017 6 7 8 9 14 January 19, 2017, at 2:00 p.m. Pretrial conference 15 February 6, 2017, at 8:30 a.m. Trial 16 17 18 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
