FAYETTEVILLE DIVISION

AMY CUMMANS PLAINTIFF

v. Civil No. 04-5232

R.F.E. MANAGEMENT SERVICES,

S.A., et al. DEFENDANTS

O R D E R

Now on this 8th day of September 2005, comes on to be

considered defendants’ Motion to Bar Plaintiff’s Expert (Doc.

31). The Court, being well and sufficiently advised, finds and

orders as follows with respect thereto:

1. Defendants filed the current motion, moving to strike

Dr. Ana Maria Pi as an expert witness in this case on the grounds

that plaintiff had failed to provide defendants with the written

report required by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2)(B). 

Plaintiff has filed a response, indicating that Dr. Pi’s report

has since been provided to defendants. While the deadline for

submitting the report was on or about August 8, 2005, plaintiff

explains that Dr. Pi did not conclude her report until August 23,

2005, and the report was provided to defendants on that same date.

2. Upon due consideration, defendants’ Motion to Bar

Plaintiff’s Expert (Doc. 31) is DENIED. The parties have advised

the Court that they have agreed on dates to depose Dr. Pi and

defendants’ expert, Dr. Richard Back. The discovery deadline is

hereby extended to October 7, 2005, for the limited purpose of

taking Dr. Pi’s and Dr. Back’s depositions. 

This case remains set for trial the week of November 7, 2005,

and the parties are advised that the Court expects strict

compliance with all future deadlines. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
