STIP. AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE: EXPERT 

DISCOVERY DATES 

CASE NO. C-07-00051-MHP

The parties, having met and conferred by and through their respective counsel, stipulate to 

enlarge the expert discovery schedule in this action and jointly request an Order of the Court 

approving the stipulation. Good cause for the Order exists for the following reasons. 

1. Under the Court’s January 11, 2008 Order adopting the parties’ January 10, 2008 

stipulated request, the expert witness disclosure date was extended from February 15, 2008 to 

February 25, 2008, the rebuttal expert witness disclosure date was extended from March 8, 2008 

to March 17, 2008, and the close of expert discovery, which had not previously been set, was set 

for April 15, 2008. 

2. The parties have been diligent in their efforts to complete fact discovery, which 

closes February 29, 2008. This has included numerous depositions in February, some of which 

have been taken and some of which remain to be completed. 

3. On February 7, 2008, the Court ordered that Plaintiff submit to mental 

examination by Defendants. The parties have been diligent in their efforts to identify potential 

experts. The parties make the instant request in order to ensure they and their experts have 

sufficient time in which to schedule and conduct mental examinations of Plaintiff by Defendants’ 

and Plaintiff’s experts, and to prepare expert reports relating to that issue and any other issues the 

parties believe appropriate for expert testimony. In order to ensure uniformity and for the 

convenience of counsel, this stipulation will apply to all expert witnesses in the case. 

4. Accordingly, the parties respectfully request a revised expert discovery schedule as 

follows: 

Event Date Revised Date 

Disclosure of Expert 

Witnesses 

February 25, 2008 April 1, 2008 

Disclosure of Rebuttal Expert 

Witnesses 

March 17, 2008 April 22, 2008 

Close of Expert Discovery April 15, 2008 May 16, 2008 

5. Counsel for all parties have determined that neither side will be prejudiced by the 

extensions requested herein. In addition, the extensions requested herein will not affect any other 

dates. 

6. The parties have previously requested and received the January 11, 2008
