ORDER ON MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF
TIME TO FILE EXPERT WITNESS DISCLOSURES
THIS MATTER is before the Court on Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File
Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) Expert Witness Disclosures (“Motion”). (Dkt. 68.) In the Motion, Plaintiff
requests a ninety-day extension to file expert disclosures, contending that discovery is still in its
initial stages and that the ongoing discovery has precluded Plaintiff from identifying areas where
an expert is needed. In response, Defendant opposes the Motion but indicates agreement to a
thirty-day extension for the parties’ respective expert disclosure deadlines. (Dkt. 69.) Upon
consideration, the Court finds that an extension of forty-five days is warranted in this case.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED:
1. Plaintiff’s Motion for Extension of Time to File Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) Expert Witness
Disclosures (Dkt. 68) is GRANTED in part and DENIED in part.

2. The deadline for expert disclosures for each party is extended by forty-five (45) days.
DONE and ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on December 21, 2015.
