raised in Reply papers submitted on behalf of Defendant, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

In response to the Government’s underlying Motion, plaintiff filed an Opposition and 

Counter-Motion for Partial Summary Judgment. In reply, the Government has, in part, responded 

to the counter-motion and Plaintiff respectfully requests the opportunity to reply. Moreover, in its 

reply, the Government relies heavily on the declaration of an expert witness who previously has 

never been disclosed to Plaintiff. Plaintiff is simultaneously filing an objection to this evidence 

(see Objections to evidence proffered by Defendant in support of its Motion to Dismiss or 

alternatively, Summary Judgment). But should the Court not sustain the objection, plaintiff 

respectfully requests that the Court grant plaintiff the opportunity to conduct discovery (including 

the retention of possible rebuttal experts) concerning this new expert and the issues he raises. 

(F.R.C.P. 56(e) and (f); and Civil L.R. 6-3, 7-2, 7-3, 7-4.)
