Since that time, the parties have engaged in written discovery and have

scheduled a mediation on April 28, 2010 before the Honorable Diane Wayne (Ret.). 

To that end, in order to minimize resources, the parties submit a further revised report 

as to their discovery plan and motion deadlines (Sections 7 and 9 in their prior 

scheduling report). Although the parties request a brief continuance of the pretrial 

conference to accommodate the need for continued deadlines in light of the pending 

mediation, they do not request any change to the trial date already set in the Court’s 

calendar.

7. DISCOVERY PLAN

(a) Initial Disclosures: December 23, 2009

(b) Non-expert discovery cutoff: May 28, 2010 (previously March 19, 2010)

(c) Expert witness disclosures: June 15, 2010 (previously April 2, 2010)

(d) Expert discovery cutoff: July 6, 2010 (previously May 21, 2010)

(e) Proposed changes to limits to discovery. Limitations shall be consistent 

with the presumptive limitations set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 

applicable Local Rules. However, the parties propose that each side be limited to 

five depositions, but that the Parties may make application to the Court on good

cause with a legitimate need for further depositions. 

(f) Protective Order: A Stipulated Protective Order has been filed in this 

action.

(g) Timing, sequencing, phasing of discovery.

The parties have agreed that Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures will be exchanged by 

December 23, 2009. The parties agree that Requests for Production and 

Interrogatories, or other forms of discovery, may be served starting on December 30, 

2009.

(h) Depositions.

The parties anticipate that depositions may be video and/or sound recorded.
