I have not already asked the court to change this hearing date. 2 4. The change is necessary because trial in this matter is currently set to 3 commence on November 7, 2022. In advance thereof, certain pre-trial deadlines are 4 rapidly approaching. Specifically, Expert discovery is set to close on August 30, 2022. 5 In addition, the exchange of opening expert reports is currently set for July 29, 2022. 6 Furthermore, fact discovery is set to close on May 20, 2022. Defendant respectfully 7 request that his Motion to Compel IME be heard on May 19, 2022 to permit sufficient 8 time to complete the requested IME, and allow sufficient time for defendant’s expert 9 to prepare their expert report, prior to the expiration of the aforementioned pre-trial 10 deadlines. 11 5. I do not believe changes with deadline will affect any other deadlines. 12 6. As of the date of this request, the opposing side has not agreed to this 13 change. I tried to obtain the opposing party’s agreement to this change, but was 14 unsuccessful. Specifically, on May 2, 2022, I emailed plaintiff’s counsel and requested 15 that they stipulate to advance the hearing on defendant’s Motion to Compel IME to 16 May 19, 2022. However, plaintiff’s counsel did not immediately reply to my email. 17 18 7. I declare under penalty of perjury that the above statements are true and correct. 19 20 Dated: May 3, 2022 21 HASSARD BONNINGTON LLP By: 22 23 24 ____________________________ J.
