STIPULATION AND ORDER

REGARDING THE TESTIMONY OF

PLAINTIFF’S EXPERT WITNESS

JOHN D. HOFBAUER, M.D.

Trial Date: January 28, 2008

The parties, through their undersigned counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree that

the Plaintiff’s expert witness, John D. Hofbauer, M.D., be allowed to testify at the upcoming trial

of this case by deposition. The parties will take the deposition of the witness, and the deposition

of the witness will be recorded by both stenographic means and by videotape pursuant to Rule

30. Following the deposition the parties will designate sections of the videotape to be viewed by

the jury and corresponding transcripts to be provided to the court. To the extent the parties

cannot agree on these designations they will ask the Court the rule on any objections at the

pretrial hearing. 

The Court finds that the requirements of Rule 32 are met in that the witness will be

greater than 100 miles from the place of the trial and that exceptional circumstances exist as to

make it desirable in the interest of justice that the witness’ testimony be presented by deposition.

Dr. Hofbauer’s office is currently located at 416 N. Bedford Drive, Suite 300, Beverly Hills, CA

90210. Furthermore, the fee schedule of Dr. Hofbauer, as attached as Exhibit A, demonstrates

costs of upwards of $5,000 for court appearances, not including travel expenses. Mr. Wilson, as

a former inmate of the California Department of Corrections, now known as the California

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, appears in forma pauperis.(Doc. 5). The Court

has granted Mr. Wilson advanced authority to incur costs for a medical expert in the amount of

$5,000 as pursuant to the Court’s order of September 1, 2004. (Doc. 33). Approximately half of

this money has been spent recruiting and retaining a medical expert. Therefore, to remain within

the cost limitations as provided by the Court, the parties respectfully request the Court enter this

Stipulation as an Order of the Court.
