JOHN A. MENDEZ, District Judge.
WHEREAS, this matter is presently set for trial on February 23, 2015, at 9:00 a.m.; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the parties' stipulation and the Court's approval of the parties' stipulation on June 26, 2014, the parties must make expert witness disclosures by December 10, 2014, and supplemental disclosures and disclosure of any rebuttal experts under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(c) by January 7, 2015, and all expert witness depositions completed by January 15, 2015, (see Docs. 56 & 57); and
WHEREAS, Defendants Almond Board of California and Tim Birmingham filed motions for summary judgment/summary adjudication on or about October 22, 2014, (see Docs. 64 & 65); and
WHEREAS, Defendants' summary judgment motions are set for hearing on December 17, 2014; and
WHEREAS, the parties understand the expense associated with hiring expert witnesses can be substantial and would rather avoid incurring such expenses until the Court makes a determination on the pending summary judgment motions; and
WHEREAS, this request is not being made for the purpose of causing delay or for any other improper purpose; and
WHEREAS, continuing the above-referenced deadlines will not prejudice any party or their counsel; and
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed by Plaintiff and Defendants, through their respective attorneys of record, that:
• The parties may disclose expert witnesses at a date after the Court makes a ruling on the pending summary judgment motions;
• In the event the Court sets a new trial date, the parties will make expert witness disclosures no later than sixty (60) days before trial, and supplemental disclosures within thirty (30) days after the initial expert disclosures are made.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
