ORDER DIRECTING PARTIES TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING WITH RESPECT TO PLAINTIFF'S EXPERTS

(ECF Nos. 49, 50, 51)

ANDREW P. GORDON, District Judge.

Defendant Costco Wholesale Corporation moves to preclude plaintiff Artano Aidini from seeking damages for future medical treatment and expenses (ECF No. 49) and loss of earning capacity (ECF No. 50). Costco also seeks to limit the testimony of Aidini's treating physicians (Drs. Morris and Pape) to their respective treatments of Aidini because Aidini did not provide expert reports for these witnesses (ECF No. 51).

I am unequipped to rule on these motions at this time for several reasons. I do not know whether Aidini will attempt to establish future medical expenses and lost earnings based on physicians' testimony that goes beyond that arising from their treatment. Aidini provided Costco with a report from treating physician Dr. Morris, but neither party provided me with that document. I also do not know from Costco's motion regarding the treating physicians what opinions Costco is seeking to preclude. I thus cannot discern whether the treating physicians intend to opine on future medical expenses and lost earnings, and if so what those opinions will specifically consist of and their bases.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the parties shall immediately meet and confer about these pending motions. The plaintiff's counsel shall disclose exactly what opinions the treating physicians intend to offer at trial. To the extent the parties can agree on the specific opinions those physicians will render at trial, the parties shall submit a stipulation about them. If the parties cannot agree, then the parties shall file supplemental briefs as follows: (1) Aidini shall file a summary of each opinion that each treating physician intends to offer at trial, (2) Costco shall identify which of those opinions it seeks to exclude and why, and (3) each party shall file a brief of no more than four pages as to why each opinion is or is not admissible (including whether it was covered by Aidini's prior disclosures) with supporting evidence. The stipulation or supplemental briefs are due on or before 12:00 noon on Friday, April 14, 2017.
