ORDER GRANTING SECOND JOINT

MOTION TO AMEND SCHEDULING

[Doc. No. 13]

SECOND AMENDED SCHEDULING

ORDER 

Before the Court is a Second Joint Motion to Amend Scheduling Order Regulating Discovery

and Other Pre-Trial Proceedings [Doc. No. 13], filed by the parties in the above-captioned matter on

February 21, 2007. The parties request that the Court extend for a second time the deadlines by which

experts and rebuttal experts shall be designated so that three remaining depositions can be taken before

these deadlines expire. (Joint Motion ¶¶ 4-5.) The Court finds good cause to extend these two pre-trial

deadlines, however, the parties are cautioned that absent extraordinary circumstances, this shall be the

final extension of these particular deadlines. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the joint motion and 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. The parties shall designate their respective experts in writing by March 23, 2007. The

parties must identify any person who may be used at trial to present evidence pursuant to Rules 702, 703

or 705 of the Fed. R. Evid. This requirement is not limited to retained experts. 

2. The date for exchange of rebuttal experts shall be on or before April 13, 2007.

The written designations shall include the name, address and telephone number of the expert and a

reasonable summary of the testimony the expert is expected to provide. The list shall also include the

normal rates the expert charges for deposition and trial testimony.

3. All other terms and conditions of the Court’s prior Scheduling Orders shall remain in full

force and effect. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
