STIPULATION AND DECLARATION; ORDER RE: EXPERT DISCOVERY

SANDRA M. SNYDER, Magistrate Judge.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by Plaintiff, YVONNE HILTON, by and through her attorneys, and Defendant, TWAIN HARTE COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT, by and through its attorneys, that the initial expert disclosure deadline of June 20, 2014 be continued to June 27, 2014; that the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline of July 3, 2014 be continued to July 10, 2014; and that the expert discovery deadline of August 1, 2014 be continued to August 8, 2014.

The parties submit that good cause exists to continue the dates set forth above because it will allow the parties to avoid the expense of retaining experts and finalizing expert reports until the Court issues its decision on Defendant's motion for summary judgment/adjudication and because the Court's decision on Defendant's motion for summary judgment will likely determine whether certain experts are even necessary. Because the Court's decision on Defendant's motion for summary judgment will likely frame the necessary experts, the parties request that the dates discussed above be continued even if the Court issues its decision on the motion for summary judgment before June 20, 2014 (i.e. the current expert disclosure deadline).

Further, good cause exists to continue the expert discovery dates because an amendment to the scheduling order will cause no prejudice to either party since both parties have agreed to the continuance; and because the adjustment of the discovery cutoff will not affect the other dates set by this Court and the trial date will not need to be continued.

Thus, the parties to this case have stipulated to continue the expert discovery dates as set forth above.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
