STIPULATION AND JOINT MOTION

Case No. C 04 4632 SI

All parties hereto, by and through their respective, undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate 

to, and jointly move for, an order amending the “Amended Pretrial Preparation Order” entered 

herein on June 16, 2006, providing as follows: 

(A) Non-Expert Discovery Cutoff is changed from August 29, 2006 to 

September 14, 2006; provided, however, that no further non-expert 

discovery may be propounded and that such discovery may be 

conducted after September 13, 2006 only as provided for 

specifically hereinbelow; and 

(B) Expert Disclosures and Discovery shall be conducted as follows: 

(i) for planning and scheduling purposes only, each side shall, on or 

before September 20, 2006, disclose the identity of each expert it 

intends to call to give testimony, together with the subject matter(s) 

on which each such expert is then expected to offer testimony; (ii) 

on or before October 24, 2006, each side will serve upon the other 

the disclosure(s) of experts and each expert’s intended testimony, in 

accordance with Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(B); (iii) on or before 

November 10, 2006, each side will serve upon the other its 

disclosures of rebuttal experts and testimony, in accordance with 

the cited Rule; and (iv) on or before November 22, 2006, all expert 

discovery shall be completed. 

All other terms of the Amended Pretrial Preparation Order of June 16, 2006 will remain 

unchanged. 

In support of, and as grounds for, this Motion, the parties state as follows: 

(1) Despite diligent efforts to complete all non-expert discovery by the current August 

29, 2006 deadline (including very substantial document productions and depositions), the parties 

are unable to complete such discovery, primarily because of vacation and other scheduling 

conflicts of witnesses, including third-party witnesses, unexpected delays in the production of 

documents by third-parties and the greater-than-expected volume of document production by the 

parties themselves. These circumstances, in turn, have necessitated delays in the depositions of 

material witnesses. 

(2) With the exception of limited discovery that may be required after rulings on 

discovery motions, based on objections already raised and the subject of just-completed or ongoing “meet and confer” negotiations, and the possibility of depositions that the parties have 

noticed but for which they have not yet been able to perfect service of subpoenas, they have 

agreed to a firm schedule that will allow the completion of all non-expert discovery by September

14, 2006. That schedule, the “Agreed Discovery Schedule,” is attached hereto and is 

incorporated herein by this reference. 

(3) Each side has determined that it can properly litigate whatever dispositive motions 

are to be filed in this case prior to completion of expert disclosures and discovery and that the 

latter may be completed on a schedule independent of the schedule for dispositive motions. 

Accordingly, the parties have proposed above an amended schedule for expert disclosures and 

discovery that satisfies Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)C) and requires completion of all expert discovery 

more than ninety (90) days before trial. 

(4) This stipulation and joint motion is made for the reasons stated and not for 

purposes of undue delay or to unfairly prejudice any party or the administration of justice. The 

amended Pretrial Preparation Order sought hereby would not affect the schedule for any 

procedures or proceedings, including dispositive motions or trial.

The depositions of City and County of San Francisco and its eight employees, originally noticed 

by defendants for the 23rd, 24th and 28th of August, are subject to a motion to quash filed by the 

City. The Court will determine whether those depositions, or some of them, will be permitted. 

If the Court permits any of those depositions to go forward, we will at that time present the Court 

with a proposed schedule for those depositions accommodating our current commitments, the 

schedule of the City attorney(ies) who will represent the deponents and the witnesses’ 

availability. 

The Parties further agree that the foregoing schedule of depositions may be altered for 

unforeseen circumstances so long as the alteration does not result in a deposition being 

rescheduled for a date later than September 15th; provided however, that witness unavailability 

and that ground only may result in a rescheduling to a date after September 15th, but not later 

than September 22, 2006.

tagged by defense counsel and make those documents available for copying by defendants by

depository will remain available for BART’s review through the end of expert discovery.
