Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-11, Defendant Office Depot, Inc. filed this motion for administrative relief, requesting an order extending time to disclose rebuttal expert witnesses in the above-captioned action from June 16, 2010 to July 9, 2010. While Plaintiff is correct that Defendant should have been more proactive, on balance the Court finds good cause and hereby grants Defendant's motion and orders as follows:
The deadline for disclosing rebuttal expert witnesses is extended to July 9, 2010. The expert discovery cutoff is extended to August 6, 2010. In addition, should Plaintiff consent to submit to a psychiatric examination by Defendant's expert witness, said expert witness shall have ten days following the examination to submit a written report, and Plaintiff may depose Defendant's expert thereafter.
