CASE NO. 2:08-CV-01326-LKK-GGH

[AMENDED] STIPULATION AND 

ORDER TO MODIFY JANUARY 21, 2009

trial. The Order sets the deadline for designation of expert witnesses for March 19,

2010. The Court’s Order on page 5 thereof additionally stated as follows:

At the time of designation, all experts shall submit a written

report. The contents of the report must comply with Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(A)(2)(b). All experts so designated

are to be fully prepared to render an informed opinion at the

time of designation so that they may fully participate in any

deposition taken by the opposing party. Experts will not be

permitted to testify at the trial as to any information gathered

or evaluation, or opinion formed, after deposition taken

subsequent to designation.

A hearing on defendant’s motion to compel medical examinations of plaintiffs

pursuant to FRCP 35 was held on March 4, 2010. (Docket No. 38.) Following the

hearing, the Court issued an order allowing defendant to conduct medical examinations

of plaintiffs Olga Ortiz and Patricia Soto on or after March 9, 2010. (Docket No. 39.) The

Court’s ruling on this matter also raises the possibility that plaintiffs will retain additional

experts.

In light of the Court’s ruling the parties have agreed that more time is needed to

designate experts and to prepare expert reports. The parties will complete all discovery

by May 20, 2010, the deadline set by the Pretrial Scheduling Order and no other

deadlines set forth in the Court’s Order will be affected by the extension of the expert

disclosure deadline.

This stipulation is intended by the parties to extend the time for designation of

any and all experts without limitation.

THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by plaintiffs OLGA ORTIZ and

PATRICIA SOTO and by defendant JOHN E. POTTER, POSTMASTER GENERAL,

UNITED STATED POSTAL SERVICE by and through their respective counsel, that:

1) The parties shall designate experts they expect to tender at trial and

submit their respective FRCP 26 written reports not later than April 16, 2010;
