Case No. C06-5056 KLS 

ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION 

FOR EXTENSION OF REBUTTAL 

EXPERT DISCLOSURE AND 

REBUTTAL EXPERT DEPOSITION 

DEADLINES 

Plaintiffs and defendants have moved for an extension of the current deadlines for all 

parties to exchange their rebuttal expert witness disclosures to August 17, 2007, and to 

depose rebuttal experts to September 7, 2007. No other dates are sought to be changed.1

This is a complex aviation product liability case involving a January 1, 2004 aircraft 

accident. The parties requested this extension to allow all parties additional time to designate 

and depose rebuttal expert witnesses. The schedules of primary experts did not permit 

completion of their depositions in sufficient time to provide adequate time to the parties to 

 1 Changing these dates will, however, extend the current discovery completion date of July 

30, 2007 as to rebuttal expert witnesses only.
