STIPULATION TO EXTEND EXPERT DISCLOSURE DATE; [PROPOSED] ORDER RE SAME

parties do not seek a continuance of this action’s pretrial

conference or trial dates.

The parties base this stipulation on good cause. To

explain, written discovery has commenced, and the parties

initially planned on commencing with depositions in July 2008. 

The deposition of the Postal Service driver involved in the

incident underlying this FTCA action, however, had to be

postponed due to health-related issues pertaining to this

witness. While the parties are in the midst of re-scheduling

this witness’s deposition and scheduling additional depositions,

they face the undesirable prospect of having to disclose expert

reports prior to experts’ being able to review deposition

transcripts of witnesses critical to the development of the case.

Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree to continue

this action’s expert disclosure deadlines as specified below, and

base it on the above-stated good cause. The parties request the

court to endorse this stipulation by way of formal order.
