UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 24, 2016, Defendants filed an ex parte application seeking an extension of time to 

complete expert discovery. (Doc. 41-1) The Court held an informal conference on the motion at 

which it learned further about the reasons the parties had not completed expert discovery. As a result, 

the Court ordered counsel to speak to their experts and to develop, as best they could, a schedule for 

completing the experts’ depositions by the end of April. (Doc. 44) This has happened.

Based upon the joint statement of counsel, the Court ORDERS:

1. The parties SHALL complete expert discovery no later than April 28, 2016. 

Following SHALL be the deposition schedule:

a. Deposition of Plaintiff’s expert, Bob Smith will occur on April 18, 2016;

b. Deposition of Plaintiff’s expert, Cary Evans will occur on April 19, 2016;

c. Deposition of Plaintiff’s expert, Dan Byrum will occur on April 19, 2016;
