UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARY F. POOLE,

Plaintiff,

v.

KASTNER INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, et 

al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:15-cv-00511-DAD-SKO

ORDER DENYING WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE PARTIES' STIPULATED 

REQUEST TO MODIFY THE 

SCHEDULING ORDER

On February 25, 2016, the parties filed a stipulated request to modify the scheduling order 

to continue certain discovery deadlines. The parties seek to extend the fact discovery deadline to 

May 20, 2016; continue the expert disclosure deadline from March 25, 2016, to June 17, 2016;

and extend the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline from April 14, 2016, to July 1, 2016. The 

parties also stipulate that experts would not be required to prepare written reports, and that expert 

depositions would be completed by July 13, 2016.1 

 

1 Although the parties do not expressly request an extension of the expert discovery deadline, the Court construes the 

parties' stipulation to complete expert depositions by July 13, 2016, as a request to extend the expert discovery 

deadline to July 13, 2016.

These requested deadlines, however, conflict with the parties' existing June 17, 2016

dispositive motion filing deadline. If the parties intended to extend expert discovery beyond the 

dispositive motion filing deadline and thereby limit what evidence may be available to support or 

oppose a dispositive motion, they may file an amended request acknowledging they wish to do so. 

On the other hand, if the parties wish to retain the ability to file dispositive motions after the close 

of expert discovery, the existing dispositive motion filing deadline, the August 29, 2016, pretrial 

conference date, and the October 25, 2016, trial date would need to be modified.

Accordingly, the parties' stipulated request is DENIED without prejudice to filing an 

amended request.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
