Stipulated Request for 60-Day Extension re Rebuttal Expert Witness (2:11-cv-0414 MCE-KJN)

27, 2020 deadline for Defendants to disclose their rebuttal expert witness(es) primarily due to the 

effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. 

The Court previously extended the deadline for Defendants to disclose rebuttal expert 

witnesses by thirty-days. (ECF Nos. 284, 285.) Since the last extension, defense counsel, Diana 

Esquivel, had been pursuing some promising leads to locate the needed expert given that 

compassionate releases are a specialized niche with the California Department of Corrections and 

Rehabilitation (CDCR). However, given the events of the past three weeks involving the 

COVID-19 pandemic, proclamations of a state emergency from state and local officials for 

residents to shelter-in, and implemented telework schedules for many public agencies, including 

CDCR, Defendants have not been able to retain a rebuttal expert witness and will not be able to 

do so by the current deadline. The parties therefore agree to an additional sixty-day extension, up 

to and including May 29, 2020, for Defendants to disclose their rebuttal expert witness(es). The 

parties further agree to and request that the Court continue the April 9, 2020 deadline to file the 

Joint Statement concerning expert-related motions to June 9, 2020. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
