STIPULATION AND ORDER MODIFYING TIME FOR DISCLOSURE OF EXPERT WITNESSES 

CASE NO. 1:06-CV-00801-SMS 

26(a)(2)(A) and (B). The deadlines currently set for exchange of expert information are as 

follows: (1) disclosure of expert witness information by May 7, 2007; and (2) supplemental 

disclosure of expert witness information by May 21, 2007. Plaintiff underwent a second surgery 

on October 12, 2006, for injuries allegedly sustained in the March 24, 2006 incident which is the 

subject of this lawsuit, and her treatment for those injuries has been ongoing. Skywest 

subpoenaed the additional records pertaining to this surgery and treatment, and it took plaintiff’s 

deposition on February 22, 2007. Plaintiff took the depositions of various Skywest personnel and 

percipient witnesses on February 21, 2007. Based on the fact that plaintiff testified that she is 

continuing to treat, is not yet permanent and stationary, and continues to experience ongoing 

physical symptoms, the parties agreed and stipulated that plaintiff would submit to a physical 

examination under Fed.R.Civ.P. 35 before H.B. Morgan, Jr., M.D., an orthopedic surgeon. The 

first available appointment Dr. Morgan had to conduct the physical examination, which was also a 

day acceptable to plaintiff, was May 2, 2007 at 2:00 P.M. Given the current disclosure date of 

May 7, 2007, as well as the fact that Dr. Morgan requires approximately three weeks subsequent 

to the examination to prepare his report, the parties agree that postponing disclosure of expert 

witnesses is necessary to ensure the ability to comply with the requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 

26(a)(2)(A) and (B). 

2. In order to ensure both parties’ ability to comply with the requirements of 

Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2)(A) and (B), plaintiff and defendant agree that the May 7, 2007 expert 

disclosure deadline and the May 21, 2007 supplemental disclosure deadline, set in the Court’s 

February 27, 2007 Order Modifying Time for Disclosure of Expert Witnesses, once again be 

modified as follows: 

 (a) The parties are directed to disclose all expert witnesses, in writing, on or 

before May 29, 2007, and all supplemental expert witnesses, in writing, on or before June 5, 

2007. The written designation of experts shall be made pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2)(A) and
