CASE NO.: 2:06-CV-0489-RRB-KJM 

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

EXTENDING DISCOVERY CUT-OFF 

DATES 

The parties have been engaged in discovery proceedings in this matter through written 

discovery and the deposition of Plaintiff which was taken but not completed on July 13, 2007. 

Plaintiff’s complaint alleges medical injuries, and therefore extensive medical records pertaining to 

Plaintiff have been requested by Defendants. Because of privacy concerns of the Plaintiff, the parties 

recently entered into a Stipulated Protective Order which has been submitted as a proposed order to 

the Court. 

Plaintiff has been working on retrieving medical records from numerous and various medical 

institutions and healthcare providers, and following the execution of the Stipulated Protective Order 

Plaintiff provided a CD full of medical records to the Defendants. However, until July 17, 2007, 

Plaintiff was unable to obtain important records from the Enloe Behavioral Health Center in Chico, 

California. It was originally represented to Plaintiff that these records were lost, and only recently 

did Plaintiff determine that the records existed and could be retrieved. Plaintiff received the Enloe

records on July 17, 2007. There are more than 200 pages in these records. 

The Pretrial Scheduling Order in this case requires that expert witnesses be disclosed on 

August 3, 2007, with the final date for completion of discovery on November 9, 2007. Dispositive 

motions must be filed by January 23, 2008, the final pretrial conference is set for March 28, 2008, 

and trial is set to commence on May 5, 2008. 

The parties have met and conferred regarding the dates set forth in the Pretrial Scheduling 

Order, and agree that because of the difficulty in obtaining the medical records, and because the 

Enloe Behavioral Health records were not obtained until July 17, 2007, the discovery cut-off dates 

and the date set for expert witness disclosure are not feasible. Experts cannot be retained without a 

complete analysis of all of the medical records, followed by the completed deposition of the Plaintiff. 

Based on these facts, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, by and 

through their respective counsel of record, and hereby ORDERED by the Court that there shall be a 

90-day extension for expert witness disclosure and a 60-day extension for the general discovery cutoff. The new dates will be as follows: 

Expert Witness Disclosure – November 5, 2007 

Discovery Completion Date – January 9, 2007
