SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

KATHLEEN LEE TERRY, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, et al. 

Defendants. 

Case No. 05-02261 DFL DAD 

STIPULATED MOTION TO MODIFY 

STATUS (PRE-TRIAL SCHEDULING) 

ORDER TO EXTEND DATE FOR 

EXPERT DISCLOSURES AND EXPERT 

DISCOVERY CUTOFF; 

ORDER 

By and through their counsel of record, the parties jointly submit this stipulated motion 

asking the Court modify its Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order to extend the date for expert 

disclosures to June 19, 2007 and to extend the expert discovery cut-off to July 19, 2007. Good 

cause exists to modify these portions of the Order for the following reasons: 

1. The current date for expert disclosures is March 19, 2007. The expert discovery 

cutoff date is set for March 30, 2007. 

2. Trial is currently set for October 1, 2007. It will be a bench trial. 

3. The parties have completed non-expert discovery, which closed on February 12, 

2007. 

4. The last date to file a dispositive motion is May 23, 2007. Both plaintiff and

Allstate agree that this case is ripe for resolution, either in whole or in part, through a motion for 

summary judgment (or partial summary judgment). To that end, Allstate anticipates filing such 

a motion in Spring of 2007. 

5. Given this procedural posture, neither party sees a need to exchange expert 

disclosure information or reports by March 19, 2007. To the contrary, this relatively early 

disclosure deadline (more than six months before trial) will likely require the parties to devote 

unnecessary time, effort, and expense on expert discovery issues. 

6. Continuing the expert witness disclosure date to June 19, 2007 (still more than 

three months before trial) will allow the parties to better evaluate the case and will facilitate 

dispositive motion practice. 

7. To accommodate this later expert disclosure date, the parties further request that the 

expert discovery cutoff be extended to July 19, 2007. The deadline for non-expert discovery 

would remain unchanged.
