Stipulated Request for 14-Day Extension re Rebuttal Expert Witness (2:11-cv-0414 MCE-KJN)

Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(d)(a) and Local Rules 143 and 144, the parties, by 

and through their attorneys of record, stipulate to and request a fourteen-day extension of the May 

29, 2020 deadline for Defendants to disclose their rebuttal expert witness(es). This extension is 

needed due to the unexpected unavailability of the witness the Defendants had secured to serve as 

a rebuttal expert. 

Defendants previously requested, and the Court granted, two extensions for Defendants to 

disclose rebuttal expert witnesses. (ECF Nos. 284-287.) Since the last extension, defense 

counsel, Diana Esquivel, located an individual in CDCR’s Classification Services Unit (CSU) 

who had knowledge of the compassionate-release process and was willing to serve as a rebuttal 

witness in this case. To that end, the CSU employee reviewed the relevant case materials, and 

Defendants were prepared to make a timely disclosure. However, on the morning of May 28, 

2020, Ms. Esquivel was informed that the CSU employee had become unexpectedly unavailable 

and would not be able to serve as a rebuttal expert. Ms. Esquivel spoke with several CSU 

supervisors to find out if another CSU staff member was available to assist in this matter. As of 

the date of filing this stipulation, Ms. Esquivel continues to work with CSU and other CDCR staff 

to identify another individual knowledgeable of the compassionate-release process and who is 

available to serve as a rebuttal expert. For this reason, Defendants require a two-week extension 

to disclose their rebuttal expert. 

The parties therefore agree to an additional fourteen-day extension, up to and including 

June 12, 2020, for Defendants to disclose their rebuttal expert witness(es).
