Plaintiff Raymond Manzanillo (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants N. Brown, Gregory D. Lewis, J.

Hallock, K. McGuyer, Matthew Cate, and T.A. Wood (“Defendants”) (collectively the “Parties”) by and

through their counsel hereby stipulate and jointly request the Court to modify certain deadlines in the

Scheduling Order issued on May 18, 2016 (Dkt. No. 199).

The current expert disclosure deadline is September 9, 2016. Plaintiff retained a psychiatric

expert to provide testimony about his emotional distress damages resulting from the incident described

in the First Amended Complaint. To provide that testimony, the expert must perform an evaluation of

Plaintiff, which is expected to last about eight hours. Plaintiff is currently incarcerated in Kern Valley

State Prison in Delano, California. Last week, the Litigation Coordinator for that prison informed

Plaintiff’s counsel that they did not have a room available for such an evaluation until September 19,

2016. As a result, given the current expert disclosure schedule, Plaintiff’s expert cannot evaluate

Plaintiff in time to draft a report to comply those deadlines.

The Parties agree that the upcoming summary judgment motions will not involve issues

regarding Plaintiff’s emotional distress damages, but may involve expert testimony regarding liability

issues. Plaintiff has retained an correctional practices expert that may provide testimony during the

summary judgment briefing. Plaintiff will be able to make a proper disclosure of this expert, along with

the corresponding report, in compliance with the current disclosure schedule.

To conserve resources and to allow Plaintiff’s psychiatric expert sufficient time to perform a

proper examination of Plaintiff, the Parties stipulate to defer disclosure of damages experts until after the

Court decides any dispositive motions, such as motions for summary judgment. Modifying the schedule

in this manner will allow the Parties to avoid any unnecessary expenditure of resources. The Parties also

stipulate to keep the current disclosure schedule for liability experts so that the Parties will have the

opportunity to have that information, take appropriate depositions, and make appropriate rebuttal

disclosures (if needed) prior to any summary judgment motions are filed. Accordingly, the Parties

request that damages expert disclosures be done on the following schedule: Disclosures due by

December 1, 2016, Rebuttal Disclosures due by December 15, 2016, and Expert Discovery Cut-off on

December 30, 2016.
