IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiff ROBERT REESE 

and Defendants COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, SCOTT JONES, JOSEPH MILLICAN, ZACHARY 

ROSE, and DUNCAN BROWN, by and through their undersigned Counsel, pursuant to Local Rules 

143 as follows: 

1. The parties respectfully request that the District Court modify the Pretrial Scheduling 

Order to extend expert discovery to allow for additional time to conduct depositions of one of 

Defendants’ expert witnesses, based on good cause appearing as more fully set forth below. 

2. Plaintiff agrees to extend the expert discovery deadline and allow Defendants up to and 

including May 30, 2015, to produce Defense Expert Peter Valentin. The close of discovery deadline is 

currently April 30, 2015. This extension shall not apply to any other expert or deadline, except as 

previously ordered for Dr. Bigelow. 

3. Good cause exists to extend time due to the Court’s recent order dated March 23, 2015, 

to allow 10 additional depositions to go forward (Document 45) as well as the availability and 

scheduling conflicts of experts and counsel. The parties have scheduled 16 depositions in the month of 

April, including Rule 30(b)(6) depositions, and the depositions of non-retained and retained experts. 

Only two of which are now unable to move forward prior to the close of discovery due to conflicts. In 

addition, Counsel has had to travel to San Diego, Chicago, San Francisco, Hayward and now 

Connecticut in order to take and defend these depositions which has posed an addition challenge in 

scheduling them all in this limited amount of time. Accommodating Counsel’s schedule, travel, the 

additional depositions allowed, and the experts’ conflicts and availability have made it difficult, if not 

impossible to complete all expert depositions prior to April 30, 2015. The parties submit good cause 

exists to further modify the scheduling order to allow defense expert, Peter Valentin, to be deposed by 

May 30, 2015. 

4. The parties have previously modified discovery and expert disclosure deadlines on four 

prior occasions by Stipulation and Order on March 5, 2014 (Document 18), June 17, 2014 (Document 

20), January 5, 2015 (Document 31) and April 17, 2015 (Document 50.) The other deadlines including 

the dates originally set for trial, pretrial conference and dispositive hearing, as well as the associated 

deadlines, was previously modified by the Scheduling Order on June 17, 2014 (Document 20.)
