IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RALPH MILLER,

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES, et

al,

Defendant(s). /

No. C 02-2118 MJJ (MEJ)

ORDER DENYING DEFENDANT'S

RENEWED MOTION TO BAR

PLAINTIFF'S EXPERT WITNESSES

Before the Court is defendant International Business Machines' ("IBM") renewed motion to

bar plaintiff Ralph Miller's expert witnesses, filed June 14, 2006. Doc. #564. In its motion, IBM

argues that Miller failed to comply with the Court's order to make his experts available within 21

days for further depositions. Doc. #550. While the 21-day period has expired, the Court notes that

Miller also had a pending motion to continue the deposition deadline. Doc. #560. On June 14, the

Court denied Miller's request for a continuance, but granted an additional 14 days to complete the

depositions. Doc. #567. Accordingly, the Court hereby DENIES IBM's renewed motion as moot. 

However, as noted in its June 14 Order, preclusion sanctions shall be imposed if Miller fails to

comply with the extended deadline.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 15, 2006 MARIA-ELENA JAMES
