CASE NO.: 3:17-cv-03845-JST

JOINT MOTION TO MODIFY 

SCHEDULING ORDER REGARDING 

EXPERT DISCLOSURE DEADLINES 

Plaintiff Sushama Gokhale (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Dolby Laboratories, Inc., 

Jeffrey Fehervari, and Conroy Shum (collectively, “Defendants”) (Plaintiffs and Defendants are 

collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”), having met and conferred and agreeing that it is 

necessary to modify the Court’s Scheduling Order, as modified on August 23, 2018 

(“Scheduling Order”) (ECF No. 49) as it pertains to expert witness disclosures and expert

discovery, hereby jointly move the Court for an order modifying the Scheduling Order as 

follows: 

Event Current Deadline Proposed Deadline 

Expert disclosures November 12, 2018 November 19, 2018 

Expert rebuttal November 30, 2018 December 7, 2018 

Expert discovery cut-off December 14, 2018 December 21, 2018 

Modification of the Scheduling Order is warranted for the following reason: Plaintiff’s 

expert was unexpectedly evacuated from his home on November 8th due to the wild fires in Los 

Angeles County. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s expert is having to deal with significant personal 

issues, which have recently arisen through no fault of his own and that are beyond his control. 

Plaintiff therefore believes it is necessary to postpone expert witness disclosures to permit 

Plaintiff’s expert witness to attend to personal matters related to the current wildfires. 

Defendants are not opposed to the requested modification to the scheduling order. 

The proposed modifications will not affect any other dates or deadlines set by the Court. 

The Parties previously jointly requested a modification of the Scheduling Order on July 24, 

2018, which was granted. (ECF No. 33.) Plaintiff also subsequently filed an opposed motion to 

modify the scheduling order on August 9, 2018, which the Court granted-in-part and denied-inpart and which resulted in the current schedule. (ECF No. 49.) 

IT IS SO STIPULATED, through Counsel of Record.
