While treating medical and mental health care providers are generally not
considered “specially retained experts,” not all their opinions relate to the care and
treatment of a patient. Their opinion testimony is limited to what is stated within their
treatment documentation. As to each such expert, any opinions which are not stated
within that expert’s treatment records and reports must be separately and timely
disclosed.

considered absent a showing of due diligence in the timely
progression of this case and the recent development of
circumstances, unanticipated prior to the filing of the motion, which
require that additional time be allowed.

Dated this 17th day of February, 2021.
