CHARLES RIDGWAY, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

WAL-MART STORES, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 08-cv-05221-SI 

ORDER RE: DEFENDANT'S MOTION 

TO STAY DEADLINE TO SERVE 

SUPPLEMENTAL EXPERT REPORT

Re: Dkt. No. 332

Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Wal-Mart”) has filed an administrative motion to stay 

the deadline to serve its supplemental expert report. Docket No. 332, Def.’s Mot. Plaintiffs’ 

supplemental expert report was due on July 12, 2016, and defendant’s supplemental expert report 

was due on July 19, 2016. Docket No. 320 at 2. Defendant now argues that plaintiffs’ 

supplemental expert report “go[es] far beyond the 42 new class members, and instead effect[s] 

wholesale rewrites of expert reports whose deadlines passed weeks ago.” Def.’s Mot. at 1. 

Defendant states that it will file a motion to strike plaintiff’s supplemental expert report by July 

22, 2016. Docket No. 332, Decl. of Jesse A. Cripps ¶ 12. In the meantime, defendant seeks a stay 

of its deadline to supplement its expert report, stating that its expert “will need at least until 

Friday, July 29, 2016 to complete a supplemental rebuttal report” but asking that the Court stay 

the deadline until after it rules on the motion to strike. Id. ¶¶ 11, 13.

Plaintiffs have filed an opposition, disputing Wal-Mart’s characterization of their 

supplemental expert report. Docket No. 333. They further state that they offered to stipulate to a 

one-week extension, making Wal-Mart’s supplemental expert report due on July 26, 2016. Id. at 

2. They also note that their expert is currently set to be deposed on July 26, 2016, which is the 

deadline that the Court set in its prior scheduling order. Id.; Docket No. 320 at 2.
