UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

PAUL R. LEISURE, JR., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Defendant. 

Case No.: 15cv133-GPC(KSC) 

ORDER GRANTING JOINT 

MOTION FOR ORDER 

MODIFYING DISCOVERY CUTOFF 

AND EXPERT DEADLINES [Doc. No. 

12]; 

SECOND AMENDED SCHEDULING 

ORDER 

20 On April 7, 2016, the parties filed a Joint Motion for Order Modifying Discovery 

21 Cutoff and Expert Deadlines. [Doc. No. 14.] In the Joint Motion, the parties seek a 

22 second extension of the fact and expert discovery deadlines, because they are still in the 

23 process of obtaining records from third parties related to plaintiffs prior employment 

24 history and disability that are needed to assess plaintiffs claims. The parties' request for 

25 an extension does not affect any other dates or deadlines. Good cause appearing, IT IS 

26 HEREBY ORDERED that the parties Joint Motion is GRANTED as follows: 

27 1. All fact discovery shall be completed by all parties on or before Mav 27. 

28 2016. "Completed" means that all discovery under Rules 30-36 of the Federal Rules of 

1 'e.vl11-r,pr(K~r) 

;
1 Civil Procedure, and discovery subpoenas under Rule 45, must be initiated a sufficient 

2 period of time in advance of the cut-off date, so that it may be completed by the cut-off 

3 date, taking into account the times for service, notice and response as set forth in the 

4 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Counsel shall promptly and in good faith meet and 

5 confer with regard to all discovery disputes in compliance with Local Rule 26.1(a). 

6 The Court expects counsel to make every effort to resolve all disputes without court 

7 intervention through the meet and confer process. All discovery motions must be filed 

8 within 45 days of the service of an objection, answer, or response which become the 

9 subject of dispute, or the passage of a discovery due date without response or production, 

10 and only after counsel have met and conferred and have reached an impasse with regard 

11 to the particular issue. For oral discovery, the event giving rise to the dispute is the 

12 completion of the transcript ofthe affected portion of the deposition. In any case, the 

13 event giving rise to a discovery dispute is not the date on which counsel reach an impasse 

14 in meet and confer efforts. If the discovery dispute concerns written discovery requests, 

15 the parties shall submit a joint statement entitled, "Joint Motion for Determination of 

16 Discovery Dispute" with the Court. (For further information on resolving discovery 

17 disputes, see Judge Crawford's "Chambers' Rules" which are accessible via the Court's 

18 website at www.casd.uscourts.gov.) A failure to comply in this regard will result in a 

19 waiver of a party's discovery issue. Absent an order of the Court, no stipulation 

20 continuing or altering this requirement will be recognized by the Court. 

21 2. On or before July 19, 2016, each party shall comply with the disclosure 

22 provisions in Rule 26(a)(2)(B) and Rule 26(a)(2)(C) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

23 Procedure. 

24 4. Any party shall supplement its disclosure regarding contradictory or rebuttal 

25 evidence under Rule 26(a)(2)(D) on or before July 29,2016. 

26 5. All expert discovery shall be completed by all parties on or before 

27 August 31,2016. The parties shall comply with the same procedures set forth in the 

28 paragraph governing fact discovery. 

2 
1 6. All other terms and conditions of the Scheduling Orders filed on October 5, 

2 2016 [Doc. No. 11] and on March 14,2016 [Doc. No. 13] shall remain in full force and 

3 effect. 

4 IT SO ORDERED.
