CASE NO.: 1:14-CV-01325 GSA 

STIP/ORDER RE 60 DAYS EXTENSION OF TIME TO DESIGNATE EXPERTS AND REBUTTAL EXPERTS 

WHEREAS, on May 29, 2015, defendants and cross-complainants Bella Vista Estates 

(“Bella Vista”) and Laurel Tree Homes, Inc. (“Laurel Tree”) filed a motion for leave to file amended 

pleadings (“Motion”), originally scheduled for hearing on August 19, 2015, to plead certain 

additional claims and to join third-parties to this lawsuit; 

WHEREAS, on August 5, 2015, plaintiff General Fidelity Insurance Company (“GFIC”) and 

defendant, counter and cross-claimant Quanta Specialty Lines Insurance Company (“Quanta”) filed 

oppositions to Bella Vista and Laurel Tree’s Motion; 

WHEREAS, on August 13, 2015, the Court entered a Minute Order taking the hearing on the 

Motion off calendar and ordered the matter submitted without appearance; 

WHEREAS, the Court has not yet issued a ruling on the Motion; 

WHEREAS, Bella Vista, Laurel Tree, GFIC and Quanta (the “Parties”) agree that, given the 

uncertainty as to whether additional claims and/or third-parties parties may be brought into this suit, 

designating experts and rebuttal experts by September 11, 2015 and September 18, 2015, 

respectively, is not practicable; 

WHEREAS counsel for certain individual defendants, Mitchell S. Golub, on behalf of his 

clients, has agreed to continue the deadline to make expert witness disclosures by 60 days; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have not previously requested and the Court has not previously 

extended the time to designate experts; 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the Parties, through their respective 

counsel, as follows: 

1. The Parties agree to amend the Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order to continue the 

deadline to make expert witness disclosures under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2) by 60 days to and 

including November 10, 2015 and supplemental disclosure and disclosure of any rebuttal experts 

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(c) also by 60 days to and including November 17, 2015; 

2. This Stipulation does not pertain to any matter not expressly set forth above.
