STIPULATION REGARDING 

EXTENSION OF EXPERT DISCLOSURE 

DATES 

The parties respectfully request by Stipulation under L.R. 143 that the Court enter an 

Order changing the date by which the parties shall make expert witness disclosures under Fed. R. 

Civ. P. 26(a)(2) from February 24, 2017, to March 31, 2017, and changing the date by which the 

parties shall make rebuttal expert witness disclosures from March 24, 2014, to April 21, 2017.

On March 11, 2016, the Court entered its Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order (Doc. No. 

47), which set various discovery deadlines, including an expert witness disclosure date of 

January 20, 2017, and a rebuttal expert witness disclosure date of March 24, 2017. On 

November 21, 2016, the Court entered the parties’ stipulation to change the expert witness 

disclosure date to February 24, 2017. The parties are diligently conducting discovery, but have 

good cause to believe they will be unable to complete their Rule 26(a)(2) expert witness 

disclosures and rebuttal expert witness disclosures by the current due dates. Therefore, they have 

agreed to this Stipulation and request an Order from the Court extending the expert witness 

disclosure date to March 31, 2017, and the rebuttal expert witness disclosure date to April 21, 

2017.
