This Stipulation is entered into by and between Plaintiffs CATHERINE SMITH and M.B., 

a minor, by and through his Guardian Ad Litem, VICTORIA MOSELEY and Defendants 

COUNTY OF BUTTE, SERGEANT MATT KEELING, DEPUTY BRIAN EVANS, DEPUTY 

ROBERT ALLEN, and DEPUTY BENJAMIN CORNELIUS, through counsel of record. The 

Parties have conferred and agree to continue the expert disclosure date for 30 days, from May 27, 

2016, to June 27, 2016, and the rebuttal/supplemental expert disclosure 30 days, from June 27, 

2016 to July 27, 2016.

 The parties have good cause to request an extension for the expert disclosure deadline 

because several key percipient witness depositions are being completed in May, 2016, and thus it 

is necessary to allow non-retained and retained experts additional time to review the depositions in 

this matter in preparing their written reports. The parties anticipate that they will rely on expert 

testimony at trial. 

 The parties stipulate to extend the expert disclosure date for 30 days to June 27, 2016. 

Accordingly, the time for the rebuttal/supplemental expert disclosure will need to be extended as 

well. The parties agree to July 27, 2016, as the date for the rebuttal/supplemental expert disclosure. 

The amended schedule also comports with the Federal Requirement that disclosures be made 90 

days before trial. Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(D). Since trial is presently scheduled to commence on 

May 16, 2017, no other deadlines will be impacted by the stipulated modification. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
