Plaintiffs,

ROBERT J. BIRGENEAU, ET AL., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 11-cv-05719-YGR 

ORDER RE: DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR 

LEAVE TO FILE MOTION FOR 

RECONSIDERATION OF ORDER GRANTING 

PLAINTIFFS’ ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF TIME 

Re: Dkt. No. 349, 350, 351 

On December 19, 2014, the same date as the parties’ original deadline to disclose opening 

expert reports, Plaintiffs filed their Motion to Extend Time for Expert Witness Disclosure. (Dkt. 

No. 346.) On December 23, 2014, the Court granted Plaintiffs’ Motion for Extension of Time for 

Expert Witness Disclosure, and ordered as follows: 

(1) the deadline to disclose opening experts was extended from December 19, 2014, to 

January 16, 2015; 

(2) the deadline to disclose rebuttal experts was extended from January 23, 2015 to 

February 6, 2015; and 

(3) the expert discovery cutoff was extended from February 13, 2015, to February 20, 

2015. (December 23 Order, Dkt. No. 348.) 

Defendants Robert J. Birgeneau, et. al. (“the UC Defendants”), have filed a Motion for 

Leave to File Motion for Reconsideration of that December 23 Order (Dkt. No. 349.) Defendants 

Lackler, Armijo, Buckhout, Buschhueter, Garcia, Obichere, Rodrigues, and Wilson have filed 

joinders in the UC Defendants’ motion. (Dkt. Nos. 350, 351.) 

The Court is not inclined to reconsider the December 23 Order, which was made in the 

exercise of the Court’s discretion under all the circumstances, and with the knowledge that witness 

depositions had not been completed. However, given that Defendants submitted their opening
