UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

KATHLEEN LEE TERRY, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, et al. 

Defendants. 

Case No. 2:05 CV 02261 DFL DAD 

STIPULATED MOTION TO MODIFY 

STATUS (PRE-TRIAL SCHEDULING) 

ORDER TO EXTEND DATE FOR 

EXPERT DISCLOSURES AND EXPERT 

DISCOVERY CUTOFF; ORDER 

By and through their counsel of record, the parties jointly submit this stipulated motion 

asking the Court modify its Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order to extend the date for expert 

disclosures to December 19, 2005 and to extend the discovery cut-off (for expert discovery only) 

to January 31, 2007. Good cause exists to modify these portions of the Order for the following 

reasons: 

1. The current date for expert disclosures is September 8, 2006. The discovery cutoff 

date is set for November 10, 2006. 

2. Trial is currently set for March 19, 2007. It will be a bench trial. 

3. Discovery is still in the very early stages. Plaintiff only recently responded to 

Allstate’s document requests. No depositions have been taken to date. Allstate currently 

anticipates deposing four non-expert witnesses. Plaintiff currently anticipates deposing two

non-expert witnesses. 

4. Both plaintiff and Allstate agree that this case should be resolved, either in whole 

or in large part, through a motion for summary judgment (or partial summary judgment). To 

that end, Allstate anticipates filing such a motion in the Fall of 2006, once it has completed the 

aforementioned depositions. 

5. Given this procedural posture, neither party sees a need to exchange expert 

disclosure information or reports by September 6, 2006. To the contrary, this relatively early 

disclosure deadline (more than six months before trial) will likely require the parties to devote 

unnecessary time, effort, and money on expert discovery issues. 

6. Continuing the expert witness disclosure date to December 19, 2006 (still three 

months before trial) will allow the parties to better evaluate the case and will facilitate 

dispositive motion practice. 

7. To accommodate this later expert disclosure date, the parties further request that 

discovery cutoff be extended to January 31, 2007, with respect to expert discovery only. The 

deadline for non-expert discovery would remain unchanged (November 10, 2006).
