JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONCERNING EXPERT DISCOVERY PROTOCOLS 

CASE NO. C-07-3798-JW (HRL) 

485985.01 

WHEREAS, the parties anticipate retaining various expert witnesses to testify in the 

above-captioned action (the “Expert” or “Experts”); and 

WHEREAS, the period in which to conduct discovery in this action has commenced, and 

the parties desire to establish the following protocol to govern expert witness discovery in this 

action pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Local Rules of this Court and any other 

applicable rules. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AS FOLLOWS: 

1. The parties’ Experts will identify in any final expert report disclosed pursuant to 

Rule 26(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, or any expert declaration or expert 

submission, the data or other information considered by the Experts in forming their opinions 

(collectively, “Expert Materials”), except as provided herein. 

2. Each party shall provide a copy of all Expert Materials to all other parties, 

provided, however, that copies of (a) those Expert Materials produced in the course of fact 

discovery shall be identified by Bates number or deposition exhibit number (if a document) or 

deponent name (if a deposition transcript), and (b) readily accessible treatises and other source 

materials need not be provided, unless specifically requested by a party. The parties also shall 

produce documents sufficient to show the compensation for the Expert’s report or testimony. 

The deadline for a party to comply with the obligations of this paragraph and to produce copies 

of Expert Materials is five business days after production of the pertinent report of the party’s 

Expert. 

3. To the extent that the Expert Materials contain exhibits, information or data 

processed or modeled by computer at the direction of an Expert in the course of forming the 

Expert’s opinions, machine readable copies of the data along with the appropriate computer 

programs and instructions shall be produced, provided that the following need not be produced: 

(a) computer programs that are reasonably commercially available; and (b) databases and 

computer programs that (i) are used in the ordinary course of the expert’s or a party’s business 

and (ii) are not practicable to copy, or are copyright protected, so long as reasonable access is 

timely offered for purposes of, among other things, replication and analysis of disclosed results.
