On June 14, 2006, the parties filed a “Stipulation to

Continue Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(A)(2) Initial Expert

Witness Disclosure and Rebuttal Expert Disclosure” in which the

parties seek to amend these prescribed dates in the Status

(Pretrial Scheduling) Order (“Rule 16 Order”). 

Since the parties stipulate to having the referenced

portions of the Rule 16 Order modified, and the modifications can

be made in a manner that will not adversely affect the Court's

docket, the good cause issue will not be reached. Although the

Stipulation only requested modification of the expert disclosure

dates, granting the parties’ requested change to these dates will

This closure of the time gap between the trial commencement 1

date of June 26, 2007, and the final pretrial conference, necessitated

to accommodate the parties’ requested modifications to the Rule 16

Order, will most likely mean that a federal judge supervised settlement

conference will not be scheduled in this action because that was the

purpose of the larger time gap.

affect subsequent prescribed dates in the Rule 16 Order. Thus, to

accommodate the parties’ request certain subsequently prescribed

dates will also be modified.

Therefore, the Rule 16 Order is modified as follows:

(1) Each party shall comply with Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 26(a)(2)’s initial expert witness disclosure and report

requirements on or before September 22, 2006, and with the rebuttal

expert disclosures authorized under the Rule on or before October 24,

2006;

(2) discovery shall be completed by January 19, 2007; 

(3) the last hearing date for motions shall be March 19,

2007, at 9:00 a.m.; and

(4) the final pretrial conference is set for May 29, 2007,

at 1:30 p.m.1

IT IS SO ORDERED.
