STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY PLAN AND SCHEDULING ORDER
SPECIAL SCHEDULING REVIEW REQUESTED
Plaintiff ERIC CIAROLLA by and through his attorney JORDAN P. SCHNITZER, ESQ., of THE SCHNITZER LAW FIRM, and Defendant ALBERTSONS, LLC, by and through its attorneys LEW BRANDON, JR., ESQ., JEFFREY J. ORR, ESQ. and JUSTIN PASQUALE, ESQ., of BRANDON SMERBER LAW FIRM, hereby stipulate and agree that the discovery schedule shall be extended pursuant to LR 26-3.
I. Discovery Conducted to Dated:
The parties have prepared their initial early case conference lists of witnesses and documents. Plaintiff has supplemented his disclosures once while Defendant has supplemented its disclosure six times. Written discovery has been propounded by both parties, and both parties have served responses thereto. Defendant received executed medical authorizations to obtain copies of Plaintiff's medical records. Plaintiff's deposition is complete.
II. Discovery to Be Conducted:
1. Disclosure of retained/rebuttal experts;
2. Other expert designations, if applicable;
3. Expert depositions;
4. Depositions of treating physicians;
5. Depositions of Defendants' employees and FRCP 30(b)(6) witness(s);
6. Percipient witness depositions;
7. Any other discovery as allowed by the rules.
III. The Reason Discovery Cannot Be Done Within The Existing Discovery Time Limits:
The parties are rescheduling mediation with Judge Gene Porter (Ret.) as Defendant was unable to procure a complete copy of Plaintiff's medical records, though the request is being processed. The mediation has been rescheduled for November 13, 2023. The parties wish to mediate before experts are disclosed.
