On September 14, 2007, the Court granted a motion brought by Defendants to reopen 

discovery to conduct the depositions of Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ disclosed experts concerning certain 

matters set forth in the Plaintiff’s civil dissolution file. By the order of the Court, these depositions

The Plaintiffs have requested an opportunity to reciprocally take the depositions of 

Defendants disclosed experts with reference to the same subject matter. Defendants are agreeable to 

that, and have requested that a Court Order be sought to specifically address this matter.

Ed McKinnon, concerning the matters as to which discovery has been reopened in this matter with 

respect to Bruce Newland, Jenne Newland, and their disclosed experts, Dennis Joyce and Peter 

Occhialini.

2008.
