JAMES ELLIS JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

ORDER

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Re: Dkt. Nos. 219, 221

Defendant.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
12

The Court has received plaintiff’s filings about extension of the deadline for expert

13

disclosures and for leave to seek reconsideration of the Court’s November 13, 2015 order

14

overruling plaintiff’s objections to Magistrate Judge Vadas’ October 16, 2015 discovery order

15

(Dkt. No. 212). Dkt. Nos. 219, 221.

16

The Court appreciates plaintiff’s efforts to move forward with expert discovery and

17

extends the deadline for plaintiff to file his opening expert report to December 30, 2015. If

18

plaintiff files an expert report by that date, defendant may file a responsive report by January 13,

19

2016. The Court does not extend any other deadlines. Plaintiff’s deadline to oppose defendant’s

20

motion for partial summary judgment (Dkt. No. 188) remains December 14, 2015, as it relates to

21

issues independent of the proposed expert report. See Dkt. No. 216.

22
23
24
25

The request to file a motion to reconsider on the discovery issues is denied. The request
does not meet any of the grounds in Civil L.R. 7-9(b).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: November 30, 2015
