COME NOW the parties, and respectfully agree and request that the Court extend the
deadline for disclosure of expert testimony by approximately thirty days. The parties do not
ask to adjust the trial date. Currently, pursuant to the Order Setting Trial Dates and Related
Dates, this matter is set for trial on April 16, 2018. Disclosure of expert testimony under
FRCP 26(a)(2) is due by October 25, 2017. Dkt. 12.
The parties request an extension through November 28, 2017 to complete the
disclosure of expert testimony. Since this case was filed, both parties have worked
cooperatively in the discovery process. However, despite good faith efforts, medical records
are still being gathered and the parties anticipate that reports from their respective experts
will not be completed in time to meet the current deadline of October 25, 2017.
