Stipulation and Order to Modify Amended Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order

-2-

FORENSIC MEDICAL GROUP (“CFMG”) and defendant DEBORAH PAUTSCH (“PAUTSCH”),

by and through their respective undersigned counsel, hereby enter into the following stipulation and

request to modify the Amended Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order dated October 26, 2009, as

follows: 

1. WHEREAS, the October 26, 2009, Amended Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order

provides that expert witnesses with reports are to be disclosed by February 15, 2010 (a court

holiday) and rebuttal experts are to be disclosed by March 8, 2010. 

2. WHEREAS, as of February 10, 2010, plaintiff has entered into oral settlement

agreements with defendants COUNTY, CFMG and PAUTSCH. 

3. WHEREAS, all parties seek to continue the February 15, 2010, expert disclosure date

by two weeks, and the March 8, 2010, rebuttal disclosure deadline by one week, so that plaintiff and

defendants COUNTY, CFMG and PAUTSCH can finalize the settlement documents, and defendant

COUNTY can obtain necessary board approval, without incurring the additional and unnecessary

costs associated with the disclosure of experts and their reports. 

4. Therefore, the parties respectfully submit that good cause exists and request

modification of the scheduling order as follows:

i. Expert Disclosure: March 1, 2010

ii. Rebuttal Expert Disclosure: March 15, 2010
