ORDER

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Motion to Substitute Expert and
Continue Deadline for Disclosure of Expert Testimony (Filing No. 58). Defense counsel
notified the Court by e-mail that the Motion is not opposed.
The Final Progression Order currently provides July 1, 2017, as the deadline for
Plaintiffs to serve all opposing parties with the statement required by Fed. R. Civ. P.
26(a)(2) regarding expert witnesses. (Filing No. 50 at p. 2). Plaintiffs learned on June
26, 2017, that a previously disclosed expert witness, Susan E. Caudle, PhD, would be
unable to complete her report and evaluation. Plaintiffs request a 30-day extension to
disclose a substitute expert witness and report for Dr. Caudle. Under the circumstances,
the Court finds the motion should be granted. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED: Plaintiffs’ Motion to Substitute Expert and Continue Deadline
for Disclosure of Expert Testimony (Filing No. 58) is granted. Plaintiff shall have an
extension of time to July 31, 2017, to disclose a substitute expert and report for Dr. Caudle.
DATED: June 28, 2017.
