Opinion
Civil Action No. 05-cv-01219-EWN-OES.
February 2, 2006
ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION FOR MODIFICATION OF SCHEDULING ORDER
The parties have jointly moved the court to extend the discovery deadlines by ninety days. They have indicated that this additional period of time is needed in order for plaintiff to reach maximum medical improvement, and for plaintiff's doctors to offer opinions with regard to plaintiff's prognosis.
District Judge Edward W. Nottingham has been consulted, and has approved the request for additional time. However, the parties are advised that any further requests for additional time will be received with extreme skepticism.

2. Deadline for filing dispositive motions: June 15, 2006
3. Designation of plaintiff's experts: April 1, 2006
4. Designation of defendant's experts: May 1, 2006
