2. However, the parties are still awaiting deposition transcripts pertaining to five 

alleged eye witnesses to the incident and their testimony will likely have a direct bearing on the 

opinions of the experts and their respective Rule 26 reports. These depositions are of the 

following witnesses, taken on the following dates: 

1) Charles Freeman, taken on 5-30-07 

2) Thelma Freeman, taken on 5-30-07 

3) Carolyn Stanford, taken on 5-30-07 

4) Daniel Glass, taken on 6-1-07 

5) Major Norton, III, taken on 6-6-07 

3. As the Court can see, these transcripts are long overdue. 

4. We notified the court reporter, Ms. Barbara Butler, several times of these 

outstanding transcripts and our upcoming pre-trial issues over the last few weeks and only 

recently received communication from her that she will try to get these transcripts to the parties as 

soon as possible, without providing any firm deadline. She explained that she was in trial and had 

other depositions that had priority. Unfortunately, this is the not the first time we have received 

long overdue deposition transcripts from Ms. Butler. 

5. At this point, it does not appear that Ms. Butler will be able to transcribe all of 

these five depositions and provide them to the parties in sufficient time for the experts to review 

and rely upon the testimony for their Rule 26 reports and opinions. 

6. As such, the parties seek to briefly continue the expert disclosure deadline, the 

supplemental expert disclosure deadline, the deadline to complete expert discovery, and the date 

for the pre-trial conference. The trial date of this matter does not need to be moved per this 

stipulation, pending timely receipt of these transcripts from Ms. Butler. 

7. Based upon this agreement, the parties propose that the following dates be 

substituted in as current deadlines per the Court’s Scheduling Order of September 19, 2006, as 

later amended by the parties, as follows:
