The undersigned parties are scheduled to participate in a mediation before the Honorable 

Raul A. Ramirez, Federal District Court Judge (Retired) on September 4, 2008. This was the 

earliest available date for the parties and the mediator. All parties intend to participate in the 

mediation in good faith. The parties therefore believe that good cause exist to amend the 

scheduling conference as follows: 

1. Expert Witnesses

 Initial expert witness disclosures by any party shall be served no later than September 26, 

2008. Supplemental expert witness disclosures by any party shall be served no later than October 

2, 2008. Such disclosures must be made pursuant to F.R.Civ.P.26(a)(2)(A) and (B) and shall 

include all information required thereunder. In addition, F.R.Civ.P.26(b)(4) and F.R.Civ.P.26(e) 

shall specifically apply to all discovery relating to expert witnesses and their opinions. Each 

expert witness must be fully prepared to be examined on all subjects and opinions included in the 

designations. Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the imposition of 

appropriate sanctions, which may include the preclusion of testimony or other evidence offered 

through the expert witness. In particular, this Court will enforce preclusion of testimony or other 

evidence for failure to strictly comply with F.R.Civ.P.26(e). 

2. Discovery Cutoffs 

 All nonexpert discovery and related discovery motions (including motions to compel) shall 

be completed or heard no later than September 19, 2008. All expert discovery and related 

motions shall be completed or heard no later than October 16, 2008. 

 All other dates as set forth in the Court’s amended scheduling conference order, dated 

March 10, 2008, shall remain the same.
