(Jones, Erika) (Entered: 10/27/2015) 02/16/2016 17 Notice by Defendant Spectrum Brands, Inc., Regarding Expert Disclosure Deadlines. (Wilson, Eric) Modified on 2/16/2016. (lak) (Entered: 02/16/2016) 02/16/2016 18 ** TEXT ONLY ORDER ** In response to the February 16, 2106 letter (dkt. 17 ) seeking clarification of this court's practices regarding expert disclosures, the court's position for years has been that the party that has the burden of persuasion on the issue on which the expert is offering an opinion is the "proponent," regardless how that party is denominated in the case caption. The respondent is any other party that wishes to call an expert on that issue. Respondents are entitled to wait to see if the proponent has experts and what those experts say, before a respondent needs to commit to calling experts of its own. Respondents are entitled to call experts on a topic on which the proponent did not disclose an expert, and their deadline to do so is the respondent's deadline, not the proponent's. This is a common practice in prisoner litigation under Section 1983. A proponent has no right to demand that the respondent go first, then determine if the proponent wishes to respond because this would turn the court's procedure on its head. At most, a proponent may seek leave of court to rebut a respondent's expert; any such motion for leave would have to persuade the court that this would not result in sandbagging.
