following 

STIPULATION 

1 The current court ordered schedule, which sets a discovery cut-off date of 

4/19/2006, a due date for motions of 6/14/2006 and a trial date of 10/16/2006 

trial date does not address a due date for expert witness disclosures. 

F.R.Civ.P. 26 (a)(2) would appears to set expert disclosure dates after the 

discovery cut-off. 

2 The parties have been pursuing discovery. Interrogatories and Requests for 

Documents have been exchanged and answered. (Certain Discovery 

Disagreements are set to be resolved at a court hearing set for December 7, 

2005). Depositions (other than records depositions noted by Defendant) have 

not yet been conducted, but are contemplated. 

3 These parties believe that experts should be disclosed by April 3, 2006, that 

discovery should be cut-off June 2, 2006 and the deadline for filing pre-trial 

motions can be maintained at June 14, 2006. 

4. The parties agree to the proposed order, below. 

DATED this 29th day of December, 2005.
