FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KELY WILKINS, et al.,

Plaintiff(s),

 vs.

CITY OF OAKLAND, et al.,

Defendant(s). /

No. C 01-1402 MMC (MEJ)

ORDER RE: MODIFICATION OF

PRETRIAL PREPARATION ORDER

FOR EXPERT DISCOVERY

The Court is in receipt of the parties' joint discovery dispute letter, filed March 23, 2006,

regarding Defendants' request to modify the pretrial preparation order to permit Defendants to call

an expert witness on the issue of economic loss. As Defendants request a modification of deadlines

imposed by the District Court, the undersigned Magistrate Judge is without jurisdiction to resolve

this dispute. Accordingly, Defendants should bring their request before Judge Chesney, the

presiding judge in this matter. If Judge Chesney extends the deadline and a dispute remains as to the

substance of the requested expert discovery, the parties shall meet and confer and file an updated

joint letter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 27, 2006
