2006. The expert disclosure timely took place on July 19, 2006. 

As soon as Defendants received Plaintiff’s expert disclosure, disclosing Mr. 

Roger Clark as Plaintiff’s police practices expert, Defendants’ counsel’s office 

contacted Plaintiff’s counsel for available dates for Mr. Clark’s deposition. 

Mr. Clark’s deposition was originally scheduled for the first mutually 

available date of August 25, 2006. Defendants served a subpoena on Mr. Clark for 

his deposition on this date. Subsequently, Plaintiff’s counsel advised that Mr. Clark 

had a conflict in his schedule, and asked that the deposition be moved to August 29, 

2006. Defense counsel agreed to this new date. Thereafter, the parties agreed to 

change the time of this deposition on August 26, again to accommodate Mr. Clark’s 

schedule. 

On August 28, 2006, Plaintiff’s counsel sent a letter to defense counsel 

stating that Mr. Clark was advised, on Sunday, August 27, 2006, that Mr. Clark 

would be unavailable for his scheduled deposition due to his obligation to testify in 

another action. A true and correct copy of that correspondence is attached. 

Counsel for the parties and the witness have made every effort to conduct 

Mr. Clark’s deposition within the time set by the Court for discovery cutoff. 

However, due to unforeseen scheduling conflicts, it is not possible to conduct Mr. 

Clark’s deposition before this deadline. The parties therefore request this court to 

extend the discovery cutoff only with respect to the deposition of Mr. Clark. The 

parties will reschedule this deposition at a mutually agreeable date in September 

2006. 

The parties have diligently proceeded with all discovery in this matter, and
