This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s second Motion for Continuance of

17

FRCP 26(a)(2)(d)(ii) Deadline to Provide Rebuttal Expert Disclosures (Dkt. No. 46). Having

18

reviewed the Motion, the Response (Dkt. No. 47), and the Reply (Dkt. No. 48), the Court

19

DENIES Plaintiff’s Motion.

20

Plaintiff has not made any showing of good cause as to why the deadline to provide

21

rebuttal expert disclosures should be extended, except an emergency of the Plaintiff’s own

22

making. Further, Plaintiff has filed this Motion well past the disclosure deadline, which occurred

23

on December 18, 2019. (Dkt. No. 46 at 3.) This delay is not excused by Plaintiff’s previous

24

improper ex parte Motion for a Continuance. (Dkt. No. 33.) Nor did Plaintiff meet and confer

with defense counsel prior to making this request, as required by Local Rule 7(j). For these
