E.R., a minor, by and through his Guardian ad 

Litem, CAROLYN YOUNG ,

Plaintiff,

v.

SUTTER DAVIS HOSPITAL, SUTTER WEST 

WOMEN’S HEALTH, SUSAN MAAYAH, 

M.D., and DOES 1 to 100, inclusive,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:14-CV-02053-WBS-CKD

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

REGARDING EXTENSION OF EXPERT 

DISCLOSURE AND DISCOVERY 

DEADLINES

AND RELATED CROSS-ACTION.

THE PARTIES, THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL OF RECORD, 

STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 and this Court’s Status (Pretrial Scheduling) 

Order (ECF 24), the parties hereby stipulate and propose to continue the current dates for initial 

expert disclosures by approximately forty-five (45) days, as well as the due date for rebuttal expert 

disclosures and for the completion of discovery, as further set forth below. The parties do not 

request a continuance of the trial date or of any other dates at this time.

The Court previously granted a stipulation and proposed order extending these dates from 

January 15, 2016, to March 15, 2016. (See Dkt. No. 30). The parties seek this further extension to 

provide time to complete the core fact discovery needed for expert reports, including the deposition of a 

witness in Florida on March 30, 2016. Rather than have initial reports and one or more supplements, it

is more efficient to extend the due date for expert reports at this time. The parties seek a corresponding 

continuance for rebuttal reports, and the discovery cut-off, to permit expert depositions in the early fall 

instead of the late summer in keeping with counsel’s respective trial and personal calendars.

Thus, the parties hereby stipulate and propose that the current pre-trial dates be revised as 

follows:

Event Current Date Proposed Date

Expert Disclosures March 15, 2016 April 29, 2016

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures May 17, 2016 June 3, 2016

Discovery Cut-Off August 26, 2016 October 14, 2016

The parties do not request any alteration of other dates at this time, and expect to be able to 

proceed on the current post-discovery schedule. Because this stipulation does not seek to alter the 

trial date, it “may be heard and decided by the assigned Magistrate Judge.” (ECF 24 at 5:9).
