The parties, by and through their counsel of record, request that the Court modify the Amended 

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order entered on April 4, 2008 (Docket # 48), for the reasons set forth in 

this Stipulation. 

 1. This action was filed on July 24, 2007. Plaintiffs allege that defendant has violated Title 

IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. § 1621 et seq.), the Equal Protection Clause of the 

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (as enforced through 42 U.S.C. § 1983), and 

various state statutes by denying them equal opportunity to participate in varsity athletics at the 

University of California at Davis. Defendant denies the allegations. 

 2. On April 4, 2008, the Court issued the Amended Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order. 

(Docket # 48.) On August 25, 2008, the Court granted the parties Stipulation and Order Modifying the 

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order (Docket # 60), which extended the expert witness related dates as 

follows: (1) disclosure of expert witnesses with accompanying written reports to November 3, 2008; 

and (2) disclosure of supplemental list of expert witnesses with accompanying written reports for 

persons who will express an opinion on a subject covered by an expert designated by an adverse party, if 

the party supplementing an expert witness designation has not previously retained an expert to testify on 

that subject to December 15, 2008. 

 3. The parties have been actively engaged in written and deposition discovery in this case. 

Plaintiffs have served and defendant has responded to two rounds of requests for production of 

documents and one set of requests for admissions. Defendant has served and plaintiffs have responded 

to requests for production of documents and interrogatories, which were directed to each plaintiff 

individually. In addition, the depositions of all three plaintiffs have been taken. The parties are 

continuing to coordinate the scheduling of defendant’s witnesses’ depositions. 

 4. Plaintiffs filed their motion for class certification on August 14, 2008. (Docket # 52-58.) 

The opposition and reply papers were filed on September 10th and September 26th respectively. (Docket 

# 61-70 & 75.) On September 30, 2008, the Court vacated the hearing on the motion and deemed the 

matter submitted. (Docket # 79.) The order has not yet issued.

 5. Due to the time necessary for the above-described discovery and the time to prepare and 

respond to the class certification motion, the parties request an additional three weeks to disclose their 

list of expert witnesses and list of supplemental experts in this matter. The additional time is requested 

because, as described above, the parties are still actively engaged in discovery and because the class 

certification motion is still pending. 

 6. For these and other reasons, the parties jointly ask the Court modify the Amended Status 

(Pretrial Scheduling) Order to extend the dates related to expert witness designations and reports as 

follows: 

• Deadline for the disclosure of expert witnesses with accompanying written reports shall 

be November 21, 2008 

• Disclosure of supplemental list of expert witnesses with accompanying written reports 

for persons who will express an opinion on a subject covered by an expert designated 

by an adverse party, if the party supplementing an expert witness designation has not 

previously retained an expert to testify on that subject shall be December 23, 2008 

 The disclosure of experts and supplemental experts will be made in conformance with the 

language contained in the Amended Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order.
