CASE NO. 1:18-CV-01101-AWI-SKO

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER

The parties, through their respective counsel, stipulate and jointly request the Court to 

extend the deadlines for non-expert discovery, expert disclosures, rebuttal expert disclosures and 

expert discovery, all of which are set forth in the Court’s Scheduling Order (Doc. 12), and the 

Court’s order modifying the Scheduling Order. (Doc. 17)

Good cause exists for this requested modification as follows:

Plaintiff’s deposition was properly noticed and scheduled on three separate occasions 

prior to his deposition being taken on January 17, 2020, the current non-expert discovery cutoff 

date. (Doc. 17) The details of the delays in getting Plaintiff’s deposition scheduled are outlined 

in the parties’ Stipulation and Proposed Order to Modify Scheduling Order (Doc. 16) and for the 

sake of brevity will not be repeated here.

In order to allow Defendant time to review and evaluate Plaintiff’s deposition to determine 

whether any follow up discovery is needed, the Parties stipulate to modify the current scheduling 

order as follows:

The current scheduling in place has set the following deadlines:

Non-Expert Discovery: January 17, 2020

Expert Disclosures: January 31, 2020

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures: February 14, 2020

Expert Discovery: February 28, 2020

The parties have stipulated to a modification of the scheduling order as follows:

Non-Expert Discovery: March 6, 2020

Expert Disclosures: March 20, 2020

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures: April 3, 2020

Expert Discovery: April 17, 2020

Modification of these deadlines is not anticipated to affect the July 21, 2020, trial date.

In light of the foregoing good cause, the parties hereby stipulate and jointly request that 

the Court issue an order modifying the current scheduling order as detailed above.

UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

 

1 The Court notes that the parties request that all dates and deadlines, other than that pertaining to non-expert and 

expert discovery, remain the same. Granting this request, however, would be problematic: if so, the parties’ deadlines

to conduct discovery would occur afterthe deadlines for filing non-dispositive and dispositive motions. Accordingly, 

the Court has enlarged these deadlines, as well as the pretrial conference and trial, to allow the parties adequate time 

to file, and for the Court to rule on, motions, and to permit the parties sufficient time to prepare their pretrial 

submissions and for trial.
