The parties have been working diligently to adhere to the Discovery Plan and Scheduling

10
a private mediation before The Honorable Judge Gene T. Porter, which was unsuccessful in

resolving this matter. On March 26, 2018, Defendant noticed the deposition of Plaintiff’s experts,
13
Dr. Stuart Kaplan and Mr. Thomas Jennings, which were to be conducted on April 9, 2016.

Plaintiff’s counsel indicated shortly thereafter that the experts were unavailable at the noticed date
15
and time. The date and time provided for Mr. Jennings’ deposition is May 1, 2018 and Plaintiff
16
is currently obtaining availability for Dr. Kaplan. Dr. Jennings’ availability falls beyond the
17

current discovery cut-off and it is anticipated that Dr. Kaplan’s will as well as the discovery cut-

Local Rule 26-4(d)
Under LR 26-4(d) a proposed schedule for completing all remains Discovery:
The parties are proposing to extending only the discovery cutoff deadline and date for the
23
24
proposed joint pre-trial order for the sole purpose of conducting the depositions of the Plaintiff’s
25
experts, Mr. Jennings and Dr. Kaplan. However, as Plaintiff has yet to provide the availability of
26
Dr. Kaplan for his deposition, Defendant may yet request additional time, as necessary, to conduct
27
his deposition prior to Trial. Further, the parties agree that supplemental disclosures shall
28
continue to be made, pursuant to FRCP 26, up and through thirty (30) days before Trial.
