IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD OLVERA, et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. 2:10-cv-0550 WBS CKD

vs.

COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, et al.,

Defendants. ORDER

 /

 Plaintiff’s motion to modify the scheduling order has been noticed for hearing on

February 6, 2013. The final pretrial conference is currently set for February 19, 2013 and trial is

set for April 23, 2013. Defendants have noticed for hearing on January 28, 2013 a motion for

summary judgment.

By order filed November 16, 2012, the scheduling order was modified so as to

allow defendants to have their retained expert, Dr. Scott, conduct an IME of plaintiff CHD-O. 

Defendants were allowed to disclose Dr. Scott no later than December 28, 2012 and pursuant to

plaintiffs’ request, plaintiffs were also allowed late disclosure of treating physicians Drs. Clopton

and Diamond as retained experts. It now appears that before making that request, plaintiffs’

counsel had not ascertained whether the treating physicians were willing to serve as retained

experts and has now discovered that they will not so serve. Plaintiffs now seek modification of

the scheduling order so that they may disclose Dr. Federici, previously disclosed as plaintiffs’

retained expert, to provide an expert opinion with respect to the videotaped IME of plaintiff

CHD-O and Dr. Scott’s report. Plaintiff asserts Dr. Federici’s additional report can be provided

no later than January 17, 2013.

Given the procedural posture of this case, it appears expedited briefing is

appropriate. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The hearing date of February 6, 2013 on plaintiffs’ motion to modify the

scheduling order is vacated.

2. Opposition, if any, to plaintiffs’ motion to modify the scheduling order shall be

filed no later than January 10, 2013. 

3. Reply, if any, shall be filed no later than January 14, 2013.

4. The matter shall thereafter stand submitted.

Dated: January 4, 2013
