IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between Plaintiff Coyness L. Ennix, Jr., M.D. by and 

through his attorneys of record, Moscone, Emblidge & Quadra, LLP and Defendant Alta Bates 

Summit Medical Center and through their counsel of record, Kauff, McClain & McGuire, LLP 

that the last day for disclosure of full expert reports under FRCP 26(a)(2) (“opening reports”) as 

to cardiac surgeon and statistics experts by either party shall be enlarged from January 25, 2008, 

to February 8, 2008. 

 IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED as to the expert reports subject to this stipulation, that 

the day the other parties may disclose responsive expert testimony with full expert reports 

responsive to opening reports (“opposition reports”) shall be enlarged from February 8, 2008, to 

February 22, 2008. 

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED as to the expert reports subject to this stipulation, that 

the day the opening parties may disclose any reply reports as described in ¶6 of the Case 

Management Order filed in this matter on August 16, 2007 be enlarged from February 15, 2008, 

to February 29, 2008.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED as to the expert reports subject to this stipulation, that 

the cutoff for expert discovery shall be enlarged from February 29, 2008, to March 7, 2008.

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED as to the expert reports subject to this stipulation, that 

the deadline to file any Motion to Compel expert discovery be enlarged from March 7, 2008, to 

March 14, 2008.

Defendant’s position is that this extension is not necessary. Defendant specifically denies 

Plaintiff’s characterization of the discovery dispute and the Court’s January 15, 2008, Order 

Granting in Part and Denying in Part Motion to Compel Medical Peer Review Information. 

Defendant, however, is willing to cooperate in good faith with Plaintiff’s efforts to obtain an 

extension, as described herein, provided that any enlargement of time applies to Plaintiff’s and to 

Defendant’s expert reporting obligations on fairness grounds.

Plaintiff’s position is that the stipulation is supported by good cause as described in the 

accompanying declaration of Andrew E. Sweet.
