STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]
ORDER TO EXTEND DISCOVERY
DEADLINES
The parties to this action, by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to the following amended discovery dates. This stipulation shall not affect the pre-trial conference and trial dates.
1) The deadline for expert disclosures shall be extended from February 18, 2013 to April 18, 2013.
2) The deadline for rebuttal expert disclosures shall be extended from March 18, 2013 to May 17, 2013.
3) The date for completion of non-expert discovery shall be extended from April 30, 2013 to June 28, 2013.
4) The date for completion of expert discovery shall be extended from June 14, 2013 to July 1, 2013.
Good cause exists for the requested extended discovery dates because the parties require additional time to subpoena medical records and engage in discovery in order to engage in meaningful settlement negotiations and mediation. This stipulation will not affect the pre-trial conference date of October 3, 2013 or the trial date of October 21, 2013.
