UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FERNANDO RUIZ, individually and on behalf

of all others similarly situated,

Civil No. 05cv2125 LAB (CAB)

Plaintiff,

ORDER REGARDING DEFENDANT’S

REQUEST TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE

FOR FILING ITS EXPERT WITNESS

REPORT

v.

AFFINITY LOGISTICS CORPORATION,

Defendant.

On September 28, 2007, Defendant submitted a letter brief to this Court requesting to extend the

deadline for serving its expert witness report from September 28, 2007, to October 15, 2007. Defendant

claimed its expert witness needed more time to review Plaintiff’s deposition transcript, which the expert

witness received on September 27, 2007.

Plaintiff submitted an opposition to Defendant’s request on October 2, 2007. Plaintiff argued it

needed Defendant’s expert witness report in order to prepare its motion for class certification, which

must be submitted by October 12, 2007. Plaintiff also claimed Defendant did not need the deposition

transcript in order to complete its expert report because all of the employment records used to analyze

Plaintiff’s damages were already in Defendant’s possession. Finally, Plaintiff noted that Defendant has

had Plaintiff’s expert witness report since July 17, 2007, and that Defendant had previously been granted

an extension to file its expert witness report when this Court issued its Second Revised Case

Management Order on September 4, 2007.
