STIPULATION TO CONTINUE EXPERT WITNESS 

DISCLOSURE DEADLINE

CASE NO. 07-CV-01109 CW 

the final pre-trial conference; 

WHEREAS, on April 1, 2008, the Court granted the Parties’ stipulation to extend the 

April 1, 2008 deadline for expert disclosures to April 14, 2008, in light of the fact that it had not 

yet ruled on Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment, which ruling may have obviated the 

need for the Parties to disclose one or more experts and incur the expense of expert witness 

discovery; 

WHEREAS, on April 4, 2008, the Court granted in part, and denied in part, Defendants’ 

Motion for Summary Judgment; 

WHEREAS, this Court ordered the parties to conduct further evaluation, go to private 

mediation, or attend a settlement conference within 30-days of its ruling on Defendants’ Motion 

for Summary Judgment; 

WHEREAS, the Parties were scheduled to appear before Magistrate Judge Chen for a 

settlement conference on April 24, 2008 but due to the unavailability of a representative of 

Defendant Brandywine Realty Trusts’ insurance carrier, the settlement conference has been 

continued to May 5, 2008, the earliest date that is available to all parties and the Magistrate; 

WHEREAS, given the June 10, 2008 final pretrial conference and pursuant to this 

Court’s standing order for pretrial preparation, the parties currently must exchange pretrial 

materials (including, but not limited to, exhibits, motions in limine, deposition designations and 

other discovery excerpts) by May 9, 2008; meet and confer with respect to the preparation of the 

joint pretrial conference statement by May 21, 2008; and file (among other things) their joint 

pretrial conference statement by May 30, 2008; 

WHEREAS, to avoid the expense and burden of expert disclosures and discovery as well 

as the expenditure of resources on the pretrial exchange, all of which may be obviated by the 

Parties’ upcoming Settlement Conference, and without impacting the due date for the Parties joint 

pretrial conference statement, the final pretrial conference, and trial, the Parties stipulate to extend 

only the deadlines for the Parties to exchange expert witness disclosures, complete expert 

discovery, and exchange pretrial materials as follows:
