No. C 99-3941 SI

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

REQUEST TO SERVE ADDITIONAL

DISCOVERY 

Defendants seek leave to serve additional limited discovery on plaintiffs concerning plaintiffs’

new contention that plaintiffs have been exposed to Dioxin and/or Polychlorinated Biphenyls (“PCBs”).

(Docket No. 716). Plaintiffs do not oppose the motion, and request that they be given until February 15,

2007 to provide the responses, as well as the responses for the causation plaintiffs, which are currently

due on December 15, 2006. Plaintiffs state they require this extension of time because, inter alia, they

are awaiting the results of blood sampling and attempting to obtain water and soil samples.

TheCourt hereby GRANTS defendants’ motion, and modifies the schedule for certain plaintiffs’

prima facie showing of exposure and medical causation, as set forth in Scheduling Order No. 6, as

follows:

1. The affidavits of plaintiffs and their experts, described in Scheduling Order No. 6 Section

D (1)-(3), must be served upon defendants by personal service or overnight mail and filed

with the Court on or before February 15, 2007.

2. By March 8, 2007, the parties shall meet and confer to discuss defendants’ response to

the submission. Any dispute between the parties regarding defendants’ response to the
