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 EXPERT DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

AND REQUEST FOR SCHEDULING 

CONFERENCE 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 expert disclosure schedule to provide for an 

extension of time. The parties also request that the Court set a Scheduling Conference to discuss or set a 

trial date in this matter.

All parties in this case have consented to the jurisdiction of a United States Magistrate Judge for 

all purposes. On December 15, 2022, the Court entered a scheduling order. See Dkt. 12. On June 5, 

2023, the Court entered an order at the parties’ request to modify the fact discovery deadline to allow 

additional time to subpoena records from a recently disclosed health care provider. See Dkt. 14. On 

October 23, 2023, the Court ordered staggered expert disclosures and reset expert disclosure and expert 

discovery deadlines. See Dkt. 18. On November 27, 2023, the Court then extended the expert 

disclosure and expert discovery deadlines by approximately 30 days to allow additional time for 

Plaintiff’s experts to completely their work. See Dkt. 20.

Since that time, Plaintiff has disclosed experts. Prior counsel for Defendant has since left the 

office and the undersigned new counsel has been assigned to this matter. Good cause exists to extend 

the Defendant’s expert disclosure deadline and the expert discovery deadlines by approximately 60 days 

to allow Defendant’s experts to complete the necessary work and prepare their opinions. No party will 

be prejudiced by the additional time. Accordingly, the parties stipulate and jointly request that the Court 

modify the schedule as follows with the other provisions of the Court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order to 

remain in effect. See Dkt. 12.

Deadline for parties to disclose experts on issues

The parties also request that the Court set a Scheduling Conference in approximately March 

2024 to discuss or set a trial date in this matter.

A proposed order is submitted herewith.
