Defendants.

ORDER
This cause came on for consideration after oral argument on the following motion filed
herein:
MOTION:

RENEWED JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINE
FOR DEFENDANTS TO DISCLOSE EXPERT REPORTS
FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION (Doc. No. 86)

FILED:

September 12, 2018

THEREON it is ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED in part and
DENIED in part.
Based on the information provided about the availability of Plaintiffs’ expert Jeffrey Martin
to be deposed, the deadline for Defendants to disclose their expert report is extended up to and
including October 12, 2018. No other deadlines are extended by this order, and counsel for both

parties confirmed that they will not seek an extension of the November 1, 2018 deadline for
Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification. 1
The parties’ joint motion provides no information as to Plaintiffs’ expert Karen Matera.
Therefore, Ms. Matera’s availability does not provide a basis for any further extension of the
deadline to serve Defendants’ expert witness report.
DONE and ORDERED in Orlando, Florida on September 13, 2018.
