STIPULATION AND ORDER
REGARDING CONTINUANCE OF

DEADLINE (June 24, 2016)

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING CONTINUANCE OF EXPERT DISCOVERY
DEADLINE (June 24, 2016) CASE NO. 15-01792 HSG
STIPULATION
1
Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 40-1 and 7-12, the Plaintiffs Marlene Perez
2
3
and Rosa Cerisano and Defendant John Muir Health (hereafter collectively referred
4
to as “the Parties”), through their attorneys of record, hereby jointly stipulate to
5
request a brief extension of the Expert Discovery Deadline (currently June 24),
6
and, with regard to one expert only, the deadline to file a motion in limine.
The requested extension will not affect the pre-trial conference (set for
7
8
August 2, 2016) or the trial date (August 22, 2016).
Plaintiffs have identified six non-retained medical experts. Two were
9
10
previously deposed. Defendant noticed all of their depositions for June 23, 2016.
11
However, Plaintiffs’ non-retained medical experts are not available for deposition
12
until after the Expert Discovery Deadline of June 24, 2016. These are key
13
witnesses for the plaintiffs.
Defendant identified Dr. Mark Lipian as a retained medical expert. Plaintiffs
14
15
have noticed Dr. Lipian’s deposition for June 24, 2016, or any other day prior to
16
the expert discovery cutoff. However, Dr. Lipian has an annual teaching
17
obligation in France and is unavailable for deposition until July 11, 2016. Dr.
18
Lipian is a key witness for the defense.
The mandatory settlement conference in this case is scheduled for June 28,
19
20
21
2016.
The parties propose briefly continuing the Expert Discovery Deadline to
22
July 14, 2016. The parties wish to conserve resources and avoid incurring further
23
cost and expenses related to expert discovery prior to the mandatory settlement
24
conference (June 28). The proposed continuance of the Expert Discovery Deadline
25
would allow Plaintiffs to depose Dr. Lipian on a firm date July 11-13, 2016, in Los
26
Angeles and for Defendants to depose Plaintiffs’ experts (retained and/or four non-
27
retained) after the mandatory settlement conference on June 28, 2016.

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING CONTINUANCE OF EXPERT DISCOVERY
DEADLINE (June 24, 2016) CASE NO. 15-01792 HSG
1
Plaintiffs anticipate filing a motion in limine to exclude all or part of Dr.
2
Lipian’s testimony. The parties request that the court allow Plaintiffs to file such a
3
motion by July 15, 2016, and for Defendant to file an opposition by July 19, 2016.
4
The proposed continuance of this one motion in limine and opposition will provide
5
the court with two weeks to review the matter prior to the pretrial conference, set
6
for August 2, 2016. The filing deadlines for all other motions in limine would not
7
be affected.
