AMENDED JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE EXPERT REPORT DEADLINES
WILLIAM ALSUP, District Judge.
WHEREAS, the Court's March 27, 2015 Scheduling Order provides for a briefing schedule on expert reports as follows:
1. The last date for designation of expert testimony and disclosure of full expert reports under FRCP 26(a)(2) as to any issue on which a party has the burden of proof ("opening reports") shall be DECEMBER 18,2015.
2. Within FOURTEEN CALENDAR DAYS of said deadline, all other parties must disclose any expert reports on the same issue ("opposition reports")
3. Within SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS thereafter, the party with the burden of proof must disclose any reply reports rebutting specific material in opposition reports ("rebuttal reports").
4. The cutoff for all expert discovery shall be FOURTEEN CALENDAR DAYS after the deadline for reply reports.
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Court's March 27,2015 scheduling order, non-expert discovery closes on December 18, 2015;
WHEREAS, Plaintiffs first identified the only known witness with information about Decedent's work history on November 12, 2015;
WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that the late timing of the disclosures of the only potential product identification witness will make it impracticable for the parties to adhere to the Court's expert report deadlines.
WHEREAS on November 30, 2015 this Court entered an Order based on a Stipulation that incorrectly called for the expert report deadlines to be continued to January 7, 2015 rather than 2016.
WHEREAS with the exception of the corrected date for the expert report deadlines, this Stipulation and Proposed Order is substantively the same as that filed with this Court on November 25,2015.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that the deadline for designation of expert testimony and disclosure of full expert reports under FRCP 26(a)(2) as to any issue on which a party has the burden of proof ("opening reports") shall be continued to January 7, 2016. All other deadlines in the Court's scheduling order shall remain in place.
