GROUNDS FOR DISCOVERY EXTENSION:
On January 8, 2019, this Court entered an Order (ECF No.132) establishing the
following expert discovery deadlines:
12
13
Initial expert disclosure: February 26, 2019
14
Defendants’ expert disclosure: March 28, 2019
15
Defendants’ deadline to depose Plaintiff’s experts: April 28, 2019
16
Rebuttal expert deadline: May 28, 2019
17
18
On January 25, 2019, Plaintiffs’ attorneys advised Defendants’ attorney that their expert
19
– Jane Ramon – is only available for deposition in Massachusetts the week of February 11 to 15,
20
and the week of March 11 to 15. Ms. Ramon is unavailable from March 22 through to early
21
22
23
24
May. This Court’s Order, supra, allowed Defendants’ 30 days from their expert disclosure date
of March 28, 2019 to April 28, 2019, within which to depose Plaintiffs’ experts. Ms. Ramon’s
availability and unavailability interferes with the deadline set by this Court and deprives
25
Defendants of the time this Court allowed Defendants to complete Plaintiffs’ expert depositions
26
through no fault on Defendants’ part.
27
Based on all of the above, the parties jointly are
requesting that only the two deadlines below be extended, by 33 days, as follows:
28
2
1.
2
3
Extend Defendants’ deadline to depose Plaintiff’s experts to May 31, 2019
2.
1
Extend the rebuttal expert deadline to June 29, 2019
This request is being made well before 21 days before the expiration of the relevant deadlines
4
and as soon as possible after Plaintiffs disclosed the expert issue to Defendants and the parties
5
6
conferred about it. Local Rule 26-4 and Local Rule IA 6-1. There is good cause for the
7
requested extension of two discovery deadlines due to Plaintiffs’ expert’s unavailability for a
8
period of time. Id. Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate and request that this Court extend two

10
of the expert discovery deadlines due to the special circumstances indicated above that support
this request. In light of all of the above, the parties agree that in the interests of fairness and
11
12
13
14
given this Court’s Order, the expert’s unavailability and the travel required for the expert’s
deposition, that there is good cause to extend the deadlines.
III.

16
DISCOVERY THAT REMAINS TO BE COMPLETED:
Plaintiffs have made partial initial expert disclosures. However, they have until February
26, 2019 to complete their initial disclosures. Defendants have until March 28, 2019 to make
17
18
their expert disclosures; and Defendants have until April 28, 2019 to take Plaintiffs’ experts’
19
depositions. The parties have until May 28, 2019 to make rebuttal expert disclosures.
