IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALISON STIRM,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

UNITED STATES,

 Defendant.

CASE NO. 2:22-CV-01330-CKD

STIPULATION AND JOINT REQUEST TO 

MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

JUDGE: Hon. Carolyn K. Delaney

Plaintiff Alison Stirm and defendant United States, through their undersigned counsel, submit 

this stipulation joint request for the Court to modify the scheduling order to allow for the deposition of 

upwards of 16 expert witnesses in December 2024. Good cause exists to modify the scheduling order to 

depose the necessary witnesses and properly prepare this matter for trial. The parties also request that 

the Court extend the expert discovery deadline to January 7, 2025 for the deposition of Plaintiff’s 

retained expert Dr. Lobatz and to January 8, 2025 for the deposition of Defendant’s retained expert Ms. 

Dean because no suitable date in November or December 2024 was available before the close of expert 

discovery.

The parties jointly stipulate and request that the Court modify the current Scheduling Order, ECF 

Nos. 32 & 40, and set the dates and deadlines as follows:

• January 7, 2025 – Close of expert discovery regarding the deposition of Dr. Lobatz.

• January 7, 2025 – Parties to meet and confer by this deadline regarding motions in limine and 

FRE 702 motions.

• January 8, 2025 - Close of expert discovery regarding the deposition of Ms. Dean.
