ORDER SETTING ARGUMENT

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO DIVISION

MICHAEL SMITH,

Plaintiff,

v.

MICHAEL B. MUKASEY, ATTORNEY

GENERAL UNITED STATES, et al.

Defendants.

Case No. C07-00899RJB-DAD

ORDER GRANTING

MOTION TO STRIKE

EXPERT WITNESSES

This matter comes before the court on Defendant’s Motion to Strike Plaintiff’s Untimely

Designated Expert Witnesses (Dkt. 32). The court is familiar with the records and files herein and

documents filed in support of the motion. Plaintiff did not respond to the motion in any way. The court

set up a telephonic oral argument for March 24, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. and gave notice to counsel for both

parties. Plaintiff’s counsel did not respond to the court’s attempts to set up a conference call. The court

received only, on Mr. Gorski’s message machine, a message that his voicemail box was full. 

It appears that the motion is well supported by the record and should be granted. 

Therefore, it is now 

ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion is GRANTED and plaintiff’s purported expert witnesses, Drs.

James R. Liles, Wendell Phillips and Timothy G. Twomey, are precluded from testifying at the trial of this

cause.
