STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE CERTAIN EXPERT DISCOVERY DEADLINES
HONORABLE JAMAL N. WHITEHEAD UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT JUDGE
STIPULATED MOTION
Plaintiffs Jenifer and Joseph Eshom and Defendant King County jointly request that this Court vacate the current deadlines concerning expert financial testimony (i.e., November 11, 2024, and December 11, 2024 (Dkt. 30 (2:16-17)). The parties jointly further request that this Court establish the following deadlines concerning expert financial testimony:
A. December 9, 2024 - Deadline to Disclose Expert Financial Testimony; and
B. January 9, 2025 - Deadline to Disclose Rebuttal Expert Financial Testimony.
Neither requested deadline requires an extension of the current discovery cutoff (i.e., January10, 2025 (id. (2:22-23)).
Good cause supports this joint request because King County has been working in good faith to obtain financial discovery from Plaintiffs. After several discovery conferences, the parties have an agreement that they believe will eliminate the need for a motion to compel. Providing the parties their requested continuance will therefore conserve judicial resources as well as help facilitate just, speedy, and inexpensive determinations in this action. Fed.R.Civ.P. 1.

The current deadlines concerning expert financial testimony (i.e., November 11, 2024, and December 11, 2024 (Dkt. 30 (2:16-17)) are vacated.
The following deadlines concerning expert financial testimony are established:
A. December 9, 2024 - Deadline to Disclose Expert Financial Testimony; and
B. January 9, 2025 - Deadline to Disclose Rebuttal Expert Financial Testimony.
