Case No. 2:90-cv-00520 KJM-DB (PC) 

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

MODIFYING PRE-HEARING 

DEADLINES UNDER JUNE 12 ORDER 

[ECF NO. 7856] 

Judge: The Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller 

On June 12, 2023, the Court issued an order setting a hearing for September 29, 2023 for 

consideration of findings of contempt and payment of fines related to mental health staffing 

vacancies. The hearing and pre-hearing schedule hearing will be conducted on the same schedule 

ordered for the contempt proceedings related to compliance with inpatient transfer timelines set in 

the Court’s March 27, 2023 order. (ECF No. 7786 at 1-2.) Both orders require the parties to 

disclose fact witnesses, as well as the subject of the anticipated testimony, sixty days prior to the 

hearing date and to disclose any expert witnesses as provided by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

26(a)(2), including exchanging the reports required by that rule, no later than sixty days prior to 

the hearing date. These deadlines provide less than six weeks from the June 12 order for any

experts to conduct the work needed to develop and support their opinions and prepare their 

reports. Given the nature and the seriousness of the contempt proceedings and the amount of 

fines in question, Defendants requested that Plaintiffs agree to continue the deadline for the 

disclosure of expert reports. Plaintiffs have agreed to Defendants’ request. 

Accordingly, the parties request that the Court modify the March 27 and the June 12 orders 

as follows: 

1. The parties shall exchange any expert witness reports required by Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 26(a)(2) no later than August 31, 2023; 

2. Expert witness depositions shall be completed within 14 days of disclosure; 

3. Motions related to the admissibility of proposed expert testimony, if any, shall be 

filed not later than 7 days prior to the hearing; and 

4. The deadline to disclose fact witnesses and expert witnesses, as well as the subject of 

the anticipated testimony shall remain unchanged. 

All other deadlines under the March 27 and June 12 order shall remain unchanged. The 

parties agree to work together and consent to reasonable scheduling requests to complete the prehearing requirements in a timely manner. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
