purpose, and grant a similar continuance as to the expert discovery deadlines. Id.
Good cause appearing, the Court GRANTS this request. The fact discovery cutoff

date is extended to March 26, 2021, for the limited purpose of conduction Plaintiff’s
4
mental examination and conducting the five depositions outlined in the joint motion. The
5
parties shall designate their respective experts in writing and comply with the disclosure
6
provisions in Rule 26(a)(2)(B) and (C) and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure by April

23, 2021. The parties shall exchange rebuttal experts and reports by May 28, 2021. All
8
other dates in the scheduling order will remain the same.

In the motion, the parties bring up an additional issue as to when discovery
10
disputes may be brought. The Court reinforces that discovery disputes may be brought
11
for any discovery that was timely served under the Scheduling Order as long as the
12
dispute is filed in compliance with the timing rules stated in the Judge Stormes Civil Case
13
Procedures.
