! This case arises from plaintiff’s August 15, 2003 arrest, in Shafter. The plaintiff

contends he was subjected to excessive force during the course of his arrest, a

claim defendants deny;

! On March 9, 2006, at his deposition plaintiff, in response to a request to

produce, provided defendants with medical records showing that beginning on

August 22, 2003, plaintiff was hospitalized and had surgery for injuries that

plaintiff contends occurred during his August 15, 2003 arrest. Before receipt of the

records and plaintiff’s deposition, defendants had been unaware of plaintiff’s

hospitalization, or the injuries he claimed he sustained. (Through oversight,

plaintiff’s counsel did not served his client’s Rule 26(a) initial disclosures until

March 22, 2006.)

! Presently, the date for serving initial expert reports is April 3, 2006. Before

receipt of the medical records received March 9, 2006, defendants did not

anticipate a need for Rule 26(a)(2)(B) expert reports. Given the newly disclosed

medical records and information, defendants will need to consult with medical

experts and anticipate a need to designate same. There is insufficient time to

accomplish this task by April 3, 2006, the deadline for serving expert reports.

! Because of the issues raised by plaintiff’s injuries, the medical records and the

need to consult medical experts, the parties have not been able to engage

meaningfully in a settlement conference.
