Case No. 05-02389 FCD/KJM

STIPULATION, REQUEST AND

ORDER TO EXTEND EXPERT

DISCLOSURE, EXPERT

DISCOVERY AND DATE FOR

HEARING DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS

 The above-named parties and their respective attorneys respectfully request modification

of the Pretrial Scheduling Order to extend the date for disclosure of experts, expert discovery

cut-off, and date for hearing of dispositive motions.

The date for disclosure of experts is currently ordered for January 12, 2007. The parties

propose that the date for expert disclosure be set for February 12, 2007.

Given that this extension will effect the parties’ ability to conduct expert discovery by the

current cut-off date of March 5, 2007, the parties further request that expert discovery be

extended through and including April 5, 2007, and that the date for hearing dispositive motions

be continued from May 11, 2007, to June 11, 2007. 

Good cause exists for these extensions because one of Plaintiff’s attorneys of record, Tim

A. Pori, has been diagnosed with cancer requiring chemotherapy treatments and major surgery in

February or March, 2007, and Plaintiff’s new co-counsel, Daniel J. Russo, is a criminal law

specialist with criminal trials set throughout the month of February, 2007.
