RAMIRO HUERTA, Plaintiff, v. COUNTY OF TULARE, et al., Defendants.


ORDER RE: STIPULATION AND JOINT REQUEST OF THE PARTIES FOR MODIFICATION OF THE CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE DEADLINES (ECF NO. 126).

Before the Court is a stipulation to modify the scheduling order. (ECF No. 126). On October 4, 2022, at the parties' request, the Court held an informal discovery conference. (ECF No. 123). The Court issued a minute order directing the parties to meet and confer regarding the discussed details of the proposed Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 35 Examination. (ECF No. 124). The parties were to file a stipulation and proposed order regarding the Rule 35 examination by October 11, 2022. (Id.) Because Plaintiff's counsel indicated by email that the parties required additional time to do so, the Court directed the parties to file the joint stipulation and proposed order by October 13, 2022. (ECF No. 125).

On October 13, 2022, the parties filed a joint stipulation to modify the scheduling presently before the Court. (ECF No. 126). As grounds, the stipulation states that during the meet and confer process that was conducted pursuant to the Court's order following the October 4, 2022, informal discovery conference, “the Parties conclude that it will not be possible to set Plaintiff's Rule 35 Examination before the November 4, 2022 expert disclosure deadline due to scheduling conflicts between now and then.” (Id. at 3). As such, “the Parties determined that a short continuance is necessary to conduct the Rule 35 examination and ensure that expert disclosures are timely made consistent with the Court's instructions.” (Id. at 3). Accordingly, the parties seek a thirty-day extension for all expert discovery related dates as well as the dispositive motion filing deadline. (Id. at 4).

Pursuant to the parties' stipulation (ECF No. 126), IT IS ORDERED that:

1. The Court hereby Orders that the Court's scheduling order (ECF No. 14, as modified by ECF Nos. 85, 108, 119) is further modified as follows:

3.
