Case No.: 2:15-cv-02564-WBS-EFB

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER MODIFYING THE PRETRIAL 

SCHEDULING ORDER

COMES NOW THE PARTIES by and through their respective counsel and subject to the 

approval of this Court, hereby stipulate and respectfully request the following modifications to 

this Court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order of April 12, 2016 (Court’s Docket No. 11), regarding the 

scheduling of this case:

 That the expert witness disclosure cut-off date currently set for November 23, 2016 be 

moved to February 23, 2017;

 That the rebuttal expert witness disclosure currently set for December 23, 2016 be moved 

to March 23, 2017;

 That the discovery deadline currently set for January 23, 2017 be moved to April 21, 

2017;

 That the deadline to file Motions currently set for March 13, 2017 be moved to June 13, 

2017;

 The trial currently set for July 25, 2017 be moved to a date convenient for the Court in or 

after October 25, 2017;

 That the Final Pretrial Conference currently set for May 22, 2017 be moved to a date 

convenient for the Court in accordance with the new trial date, preferably after September 

15, 2017. 

The parties stipulate to and request this modification of the pretrial order as to the expert 

witness disclosures, the discovery cutoff, and the motion deadline because there has been a threemonth delay from the time Plaintiffs terminated prior counsel and the time new counsel filed his 

substitution. There is good cause for this modification because the parties did not anticipate that 

Plaintiffs would change counsel, and because neither party could conduct discovery during the 

three month period while Plaintiffs were effectively unrepresented. The parties are confident 

that the new dates for expert witness disclosures, discovery cutoff, and motion deadline will 

provide all parties with adequate time to complete discovery and dispositive motions. 

The parties also stipulate to and request this modification of the pretrial order as to the 

dates for the final pretrial conference and trial because defense counsel, Sean O’Dowd, cannot 

attend the pretrial conference and trial as currently scheduled, as he will be on military leave 

starting in May 2015. The parties submitted their availability for trial to this Court on March 28, 

2016. Court’s Docket No. 8, p. 6. At that time, defense counsel was unaware of the dates that he 

would be on military leave. His inability to attend the pretrial conference and trial was not 

caused by a lack of diligence in complying with the Court’s Scheduling Order. Mr. O’Dowd 

expects to return to work in mid-September 2017.
