Upon consideration of the arguments of counsel, and good cause appearing therefore, the 

Court hereby orders as follows: 

 1. Defendants' motion to disqualify Dr. Nash is denied without prejudice; 

 2. Plaintiffs shall pay Defendants $8,000 (eight thousand), in a check made payable to 

"The Office of the City Attorney" to cover the additional expenses incurred by Defendants related to 

time spent by the Defendants' expert and the City Attorney as a result of Plaintiffs' failure to timely 

serve the report and related materials of their expert witness, Michael Mark Nash, PhD. The check 

must be delivered to Defendants' counsel not later than noon on Monday, November 5, 2007; 

 3. If Plaintiffs wish to supplement Dr. Nash's report, any such supplemental report 

must be served no later than 4 p.m., Friday November 2, 2007; 

 4. Dr. Nash will appear for a full day of deposition, in San Francisco, commencing at 

9:00 a.m. on Thursday, November 8, 2007. Plaintiffs will bear the cost of Dr. Nash's travel 

expenses; Defendants will pay Dr. Nash's fee for deposition testimony. Dr. Nash's deposition is a 

date certain, and may only be changed by mutual written agreement of the parties. If Dr. Nash fails to 

appear for deposition at 9 a.m. on November 8, 2007, and the date has not been changed by mutual, 

written agreement of the parties, Dr. Nash shall be disqualified as an expert; 

 5. Defendants' deadline to submit a responsive expert report is continued to January 7, 

2008; 

 6. Plaintiffs shall not take the deposition of Defendants' responsive expert witness;
