STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

CONTINUING TRIAL AND PRETRIAL

SCHEDULE

The parties, through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and request as follows:

The current deadline for fact discovery in this case is April 3, 2006. Prior to that deadline,

plaintiff’s counsel contacted defendant’s counsel regarding scheduling the depositions of two

employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”). Counsel are advised that one of the proposed

deponents has been out of country, and thus has been unavailable for a deposition prior to the current

deadline. It appears that the requested deponents and counsel are likely to be available on April 27,

2006. 

Defendant intends to file a motion for summary judgment. The motion was originally planned for

hearing on May 12, 2006. However, in order to allow for completion of the planned depositions before

the filing of the motion, the motion hearing is now likely to take place in June.

So that the parties will not need to incur the expenses of expert disclosure prior to the hearing on the

summary judgment motion, and to allow for an orderly pretrial process following the anticipated

motion, the parties propose the following changes to the trial and pretrial schedule for this case:

Event Current Date Proposed Date

Plaintiff Expert Disclosure April 17, 2006 July 14, 2006

Rebuttal Expert Disclosure June 5, 2006 September 1, 2006

Last Day Expert Discovery June 23, 2006 September 22, 2006

Pretrial Conference September 1, 2006 November 17, 2006
