STIPULATION AND DECLARATION; 

ORDER RE EXPERT DISCOVERY 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by Plaintiff, YVONNE HILTON, by and through her 

attorneys, and Defendant, TWAIN HARTE COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT, by and 

through its attorneys, that the expert disclosure deadline of October 18, 2013 be continued to 

February 7, 2014; that the supplemental expert disclosure deadline of November 18, 2013 be 

continued to March 3, 2014; and that the expert discovery deadline of December 13, 2013 be 

continued to April 11, 2014 in order to allow the parties to avoid the expense of retaining experts 

until the Court hears dispositive motions in this case. This stipulation is based upon the 

following facts which the parties submit show good cause to continue the discovery cut-off date:

1. That on December 7, 2012 the Court established an expert disclosure deadline of 

October 18, 2013; a supplemental expert disclosure deadline of November 18, 2013; and an 

expert discovery cut-off of December 13, 2013. 

2. Since the initiation of this case the parties have engaged in extensive written 

discovery including depositions, exchanges of written special interrogatories and requests for 

production of documents. As a result, it is submitted that the parties have been diligent in regard 

to discovery in this matter. 

3. The parties to this case submit that good cause exists to adjust the expert 

discovery deadlines in this case because it will allow the parties to avoid the expense of retaining 

experts until after the Court hears dispositive motions in this case which are to be filed on or 

before January 31, 2014. The avoidance of such costs may also help the parties in resolving this 

case without a trial. Furthermore, the Court has already extended the non-expert discovery cutoff to November 20, 2013 and it is difficult for the parties to engage in expert discovery before 

non-expert discovery is finished. 

Based upon the foregoing, the parties submit that good cause exists to continue the expert 

disclosure deadline to February 7, 2014, the supplemental expert disclosure deadline to March 3, 

2014, and the expert discovery deadline to April 11, 2014 in order to allow the parties to avoid 

the expense of retaining experts until the Court hears dispositive motions in this case. Further, 

good cause exists to continue the expert discovery dates because an amendment to the scheduling 

order will cause no prejudice to either party since both parties have agreed to the continuance; 

and because the adjustment of the discovery cutoff will not affect the other dates set by this 

Court and the trial date will not need to be continued.
