JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

REGARDING DEADLINE FOR EXPERT 

DISCLOSURES (CASE NO. C 05 0840 SC)

 Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a), Plaintiff Loveland Industries, Inc. and Defendants WilburEllis Company, Douglas Snyde, William Francis and Armon Azevedo (collectively, “the parties”) 

stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, the Court did not set a separate deadline for the disclosure and exchange of 

experts and expert reports;

WHEREAS, the deadline for disclosure of experts and initial expert reports is set by 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(C) for October 11, 2005; 

WHEREAS, the parties have a mediation scheduled for October 10, 2005, and the parties 

seek to increase the chances of a successful mediation by focusing on settlement issues and avoid 

spending potentially unnecessary time and resources on the preparation of experts and expert 

reports, and considering the trial schedules of counsel for both parties there will be insufficient 

time for the parties to complete expert reports or expert discovery before the discovery cutoff;

WHEREAS, the parties have not sought any previous scheduling changes in this matter; 

WHEREAS, the parties’ stipulation would not affect the trial date scheduled for January 

9, 2006; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties to this action through 

their designated counsel as follows: 

1. the last day for disclosure of experts and expert reports shall be continued 

from October 11, 2005 to October 31, 2005; 

2. the last day for disclosure of rebuttal experts and rebuttal reports shall be 

continued from November 11, 2005 to November 30, 2005; and
