Each Defendant, Counter-Defendant, and Cross-Defendant shall identify expert witnesses by November 30, 2018, and serve expert reports by November 30, 2018. If necessary to refute the disclosed opinions of an expert witness of an opponent, a plaintiff, counterclaimant, or cross-claimant may disclose additional expert witnesses not later than December 17, 2018, provided that the disclosing party then provides all of the information described in Fed.
