STIPULATED MOTION TO EXTEND CERTAIN PRE-TRIAL DEADLINES AND ORDER
HONORABLE KYMBERLY K. EVANSON JUDGE
COME NOW all the parties to this case, and request that this Court extend the existing upcoming internal deadlines, as follows:
PRETRIAL DATES
Event:
Current Deadline:
Proposed Deadline:
Disclosure of expert testimony under FRCP 26(a)(2)
04-01-2024
Rebuttal: 05-15-2024 Supplemental: 06-15-2024
All motions related to discovery must be filed by
05-01-2024
07-01-2024
Discovery must be completed by
05-31-2024
07-31-2024
Dispositive motions and motions challenging expert witness testimony must be filed by this date (see LCR 7(d)). Such motions must be noted for consideration no later than the fourth Friday thereafter (see LCR 7(d)).
07-01-2024
no change

08-29-2024

All motions in limine must be filed by
09-23-2024

10-15-2024

Pretrial conference scheduled at 10:00 am on
10-18-2024
no change
BENCH TRIAL DATE at 9:30 am on
10-28-2024
no change
Good cause exists for this limited extension of certain pretrial deadlines. First, the parties require additional time for expert witness discovery, which is underway and ongoing. Second, Defendant's primary counsel, Jacob Downs, of Corr Downs PLLC, is scheduled to begin an estimated four week trial on May 13, 2024 in the matter of Covey v. Port of Seattle, King County Superior Court. Plaintiff has no objection to this rescheduling, which primarily impacts discovery only. This is the parties' first request for an extension of any deadlines.
All parties, as evidenced by the electronic signatures below, are in agreement to this extension of time.
ORDER
The Court GRANTS the parties' stipulated motion to extend certain pretrial deadlines. Dkt. No. 18. The case schedule is amended as follows:
Event:
Amended Deadline
Disclosure of expert testimony under FRCP 26(a)(2)
Rebuttal: 05-15-2024 Supplemental: 06-15-2024
All motions related to discovery must be filed by
07-01-2024
Discovery must be completed by
07-31-2024
All other unexpired deadlines set forth in the Court's prior scheduling order (Dkt. No. 10) remain unamended.
