STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE EXTENSION OF EXPERT 

DISCLOSURE DEADLINE 2396061.1

This stipulation between Plaintiff Friends of Hope Valley (“Plaintiff”) and 

Defendant Frederick Company (“Defendant”) is made in light of the following facts. 

In this action Plaintiff seeks to establish a public recreational easement on land 

owned by Defendant in Alpine County in the area known as Pleasant Valley. Central to 

the adjudication of this matter will be facts relating to the timing, nature, and extent of 

any recreational use of Pleasant Valley by the public in the period preceding March 

1972, and which parcels of land Defendant owned in Pleasant Valley in the period of 

time when an easement could be established. 

The Court entered its Scheduling Order as of January 4, 2010, which provided 

that experts must be designated by June 4, 2010 and that supplemental disclosure and 

disclosure of any rebuttal experts under was to be made by June 18, 2010. Neither 

party disclosed an expert by the June 4, 2010 date. The parties have, however, through 

the course of discovery, discerned the need to present experts at trial. Consequently, 

Defendant served on Plaintiff an expert disclosure on June 10, 2010, identifying a nonretained expert to testify at trial. Similarly, on July 8, 2010, Plaintiff served on Defendant 

an expert disclosure identifying a non-retained expert to testify at trial. 

The scheduling order provides that the parties may be precluded from offering 

experts at trial for failing to meet the expert disclosure deadline. Both Defendant and 

Plaintiff agree that the experts already designated are important to an adequate 

adjudication of their dispute and wish to ensure that their designations are timely in 

relation to the requirements of the scheduling order. 

The parties have submitted one prior stipulation requesting modification of the 

scheduling order. See Document No. 18, filed on June 30, 2010. The Court approved 

that stipulation, extending the discovery cut-off from August 6, 2010 to September 13, 

2010. See Document No. 19, filed on July 1, 2010. 

THEREFORE, Plaintiff Friends of Hope Valley and Defendant Frederick Company 

stipulate and agree as follows: 

1. The Court's January 4, 2010, Pre-trial Scheduling Order be modified as follows:
