Stipulation and Joint Application to Extend Deadline to 

Disclose Expert Witnesses and Produce Reports; Order Thereon

Pastor v. The TJX Companies, Inc..

USDC Eastern District Case No.: 2:09-CV-01938-WBS-KJM

the motion hearing schedule, final pre-trial conference, and trial dates in paragraphs V, VI, 

and VII of the Order.

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:

WHEREAS Plaintiff seeks to disclose the name of her treating psychiatrist as an expert 

witness in this matter. However, due to difficulties in obtaining authorization from Plaintiff’s 

health insurer for treatment, Plaintiff only recently was able to arrange an appointment with a 

qualified physician. Plaintiff’s attorney has not yet had the opportunity to interview said 

physician or confirm his/her availability as an expert. Consequently, good cause exists for 

continuing the discovery deadlines in paragraph IV of the Order as follows:

(1) The deadline of June 11, 2010 to disclose experts and produce reports in 

accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2) shall be vacated and 

continued to June 25, 2010; and

(2) The deadline of July 9, 2010 to disclose experts and produce reports for expert 

testimony intended solely for rebuttal in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26(a)(2) shall be vacated and continued to July 23, 2010.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
