looks at the diligence of the party seeking amendment of the scheduling order. Id. at 609. The 

parties have been working diligently to complete discovery, including expert discovery. Four 

experts have been disclosed thus far by the Parties, with reply expert reports still yet to be 

disclosed. All experts are anticipated to be deposed, with at least two taking place out of state. 

In addition, counsel for Defendant Johnson is currently scheduled for trial on April 21, 2020 in 

Sacramento Superior Court, with approximately 20 depositions to take place prior to trial. The 

parties anticipate difficulty in scheduling expert depositions within the current deadline of April 

22, 2020. To accommodate these anticipated logistical issues and as a professional courtesy to 

counsel for Defendant Johnson, the Parties have agreed to extend the deadlines for expert 

discovery and dispositive motions as follows: 

1. Extend expert discovery closure from April 22, 2020 to May 22, 2020; and

2. Extend dispositive motion deadline from May 13, 2020 to June 12, 2020. 

It is stipulated by and between the parties through their respective counsel of record that 

the expert discovery deadlines may be extended as set forth above, subject to approval.
