No. 2:08-cv-02144-MCE-DAD

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO

EXTEND RULE 26 EXPERT AND

MOTION DEADLINES

The parties hereby stipulate, subject to approval by the Court, to extend the deadline for

disclosure of expert testimony and reports pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure, Rule

26(a)(2). The new deadline for initial disclosure and reports shall be February 26, 2010, and

supplemental disclosures and reports shall be due on March 19, 2010. This extension is

warranted because the issues in this case are technically complex, and the depositions that have

been necessary to develop and understand the issues in this case have just been taken, and

continue to be taken. Plaintiff has recently revised the amount of its claim for damages

associated with alleged plant downtime, and is now producing documents and summaries that

set forth those revised amounts, and defendant needs time to analyze, evaluate, and take

discovery on such revised damages claims. The retained experts of the parties will need to

incorporate the testimony of the witnesses who have and will be deposed into their findings and

analysis, in order to ensure that expert disclosure and discovery is conducted in an orderly

fashion. Trial has been continued by court order to January 2012. 

In connection with this extension, the parties also stipulate that depositions may

continue to be taken through February 5, 2010. And they further stipulate, subject to Court

approval, to extend the deadline for motions to be heard in this matter to March 29, 2010. This

extension is necessary to ensure that any motions that arise out of the issues in the remaining

discovery may be heard by the Court.
