STIPULATION AND ORDER

SETTING TIME FOR FILING

EXPERT WITNESS

DISCLOSURES AND

ALLOWING SUPPLEMENTAL

REPORTS BY 

EXPERT WITNESSES 

The parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and

agree to the following additional matters regarding Expert Witness Reports pursuant to

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 26, subject to this Court’s approval:

1. The time for exchanging and filing of the Expert Witness

Disclosures and Reports is June 23, 2005, pursuant to the Status Pretrial Order of this

Court. This date is sixty (60) days before the last day to conduct Discovery in this matter,

which would occur on Monday, August 22, 2005, as August 21, 2005 falls on a Sunday;

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER (CIV. S04-0346 LKK)

2. The Expert Witnesses designated pursuant to Rule 26 shall be

allowed to prepare a supplemental report prior to being deposed, based on additional

information produced or developed by the parties during Discovery after the Expert

Disclosure date; and

3. The Expert Witness supplemental reports will be submitted by

August 5, 2005, and Expert Witness depositions will begin on or after August 8, 2005, to

be concluded by the Discovery cutoff. 

Good cause exists for this Stipulation in that counsel for Plaintiffs and

Defendants have engaged in good faith efforts to undertake discovery, but require

additional time to seek and produce more materials on which the Expert Witnesses may

rely in their final reports. The Expert Witness reports filed with the Expert Witness

Disclosures, pursuant to this Court’s Order, are based on limited information, primarily

provided in the Initial Disclosures the parties exchanged in March 2005. The parties,

through their counsel, have repeatedly attempted settlement discussions during their

communications, but despite their efforts have not reached agreement to date. Further

discovery is required, including depositions and production of documents, before the

Expert Witnesses disclosed pursuant to Rule 26 can finalize their reports, and be deposed. 

Efforts at discovery over the past several weeks have been severely

hampered by lead counsel for the Plaintiff’s trial schedule. Ms. Price is presently in trial

in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California before the

Honorable Judge Morrison C. England in the case of Stevenson v. County of Sacramento,

U.S.D.C. Case No. CIV.S-03-0201 MCE. The trial in that case commenced on

Wednesday, May 25, 2005, and is expected to continue until June 24, 2005, and possibly

beyond. Plaintiffs’ lead counsel has not been available to conduct or defend depositions

or conduct other discovery during this time. 

This Stipulation and Order allowing leave to submit supplemental reports

will permit Expert Witnesses disclosed pursuant to Rule 26 the opportunity to enrich and

refine their current preliminary reports, based on critical additional information obtained

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER (CIV. S04-0346 LKK)

and developed after the Expert Witness disclosure date. After submitting their

supplemental reports, the Expert Witnesses shall be deposed in a timely manner. 

The parties respectfully request the Court grant the Order allowing Expert

Witnesses to file supplemental reports based on additional discovery, prior to being

deposed.
