No. CV-07-2568-PHX-SMM

ORDER

Currently before the Court are briefs submitted by both parties regarding discovery

disputes pertaining to Plaintiff’s request to depose Barbara Schroder and Atul Patel, M.D.

Having considered the briefs, the Court has scheduled a hearing for October 9th at 10:a.m. The

parties shall be prepared to address the following:

1. How will deposing Barbara Schroder and Atul Patel, M.D. develop evidence to

support a conflict of evidence claim?

2. Was any of the conflict evidence argued or pursued in the course of the

administrative proceedings?

3. Is there evidence in the Administrative Record that supports the Plaintiff’s claim

that the Defendant’s expert was instructed not to take into account certain of

Plaintiff’s conditions? Moreover, explain how Plaintiff’s Exhibit 3 demonstrates

that Defendant’s expert was told to “ignore some of Plaintiff’s medical conditions

thereby failing to credit the aggregate effect of all Plaintiff’s conditions.” (Doc.

30.)
