STIPULATION EXTENDING TIME

WHEREAS, pursuant to court order Plaintiffs are currently scheduled to 

disclose their expert witness(es) and expert reports in this case by May 31, 2010; 

and 

WHEREAS, Defendants’ expert disclosure date is two weeks later, on June 

14, 2010; and 

WHEREAS, the parties have attempted to work informally to determine the 

number of ballots in relevant elections on which the voter exercised the option to 

rank three candidates, all of whom were eliminated before the final round of IRV 

tabulation, so that the voter did not have a ballot counted in one or more rounds of 

tabulation, as opposed to ballots on which the voter exercised his or her option to 

rank fewer than three candidates; and 

WHEREAS, informal efforts to obtain these data have been unsuccessful. 

THEREFORE, Pursuant to Northern District of California Civil Local Rules 

6-1 and 6-2, the parties stipulate as follows: 

1. The time prescribed for Plaintiffs to disclose their expert witness(es) 

and expert report(s) is extended to June 14, 2010, the same day that Defendants 

are to disclose their expert witness(es) and report(s). 

2. As required by Local Rule 6-2, this stipulation is supported by the 

attached Declaration of Christopher E. Skinnell.
