UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
ELISABETH RUSSELL,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 2:14-cv-377-FtM-29CM

TARGET CORPORATION,
Defendant.
ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant’s Unopposed Motion to Extend Deadline for
Disclosure of Expert Reports (Doc. 26), filed on May 14, 2015. Defendant seeks a 60day extension to disclosure their experts. Doc. 26. The current deadline is May 14,
2015. Doc. 17. As grounds for this motion, Defendant states that new evidence was
discovered during depositions that took place on May 5, 2015 and Defendant needs
additional time to make the disclosures. Doc. 26.
Although the Court finds good cause, and the motion is unopposed, review of
the Case Management and Scheduling Order indicates that a 60-day extension for
Defendant to disclose their experts would make the new deadline July 13, 2015 which
is 3 days before the discovery deadline. Doc. 17. This would not allow the parties
time to depose the experts, if needed, before the discovery deadline. Thus, the Court
will allow Defendant a 45-day extension to make its expert disclosures. 1

If Defendant finds this is not sufficient time to respond, Defendant may file a
request with the Court to extend the deadline, after conferring with opposing counsel, as
1

ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
Defendant’s Unopposed Motion to Extend Deadline for Disclosure of Expert
Reports (Doc. 26) is GRANTED in part. Defendant will have up to and including
June 29, 2015 to make its expert disclosures.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 18th day of May, 2015.
