UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
OCALA DIVISION
KYLE BERMINGHAM,
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No:5:12-CV-37-Oc-37PRL

CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA and
STEPHEN GRAHAM
Defendants.

ORDER
This matter is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Amended Motion to Amend Case
Management and Scheduling Order for Extension of Time on Expert Witness Designation &
Report. (Doc. 34).
Pursuant to the Case Management and Scheduling Order (Doc. 23), Plaintiff’s deadline
for disclosure of expert reports is January 28, 2013 and Defendants’ deadline is February 28,
2013. Plaintiff seeks a 60-day extension of his expert disclosure deadline due to unexpected
difficulties in discovery. While the Court will grant Plaintiff some additional time, the requested
extension is unworkable in light of existing case deadlines.

Indeed, if the Court granted

Plaintiff’s requested extension, Defendant’s expert disclosure deadline would also need to be
extended by 30 days which would go beyond the discovery deadline.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s Motion (Doc. 34) is GRANTED to the extent that Plaintiff’s
deadline for disclosure of expert reports is extended until February 28, 2013 and Defendant’s
deadline for disclosure of expert reports is extended until March 28, 2013.
