O'Neill COURTROOM: 9 MAGISTRATE: Dennis L. Beck Merced Irrigation District ("Defendant") and LaMonte Tumbling ("Plaintiff"), by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby stipulate to and request the Court enter a scheduling order revising the amended scheduling order entered by this court on December 4, 2009. (Document 48). /// 1 T u m b lin g v. Merced Irrigation District USDC, East Dist Cal J O I N T STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF EXPERT DISCOVERY DEADLINE R E PLAINTIFF'S TREATING PHYSICIANS; ORDER Page 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 The parties stipulate to extending the deadline for expert discovery to permit Defendant to depose the treating physicians identified by Plaintiff in his expert disclosures. (See Exhibit A.) The current deadline for expert discovery is May 14, 2010. In light of the fact that Defendant moved to strike Plaintiff's designation of his treating physicians and that motion was not resolved by the Court until its order of May 7, 2010 (Document 91), the parties agree that Defendant needs additional time to schedule and take the depositions of Plaintiff's three treating physicians. Therefore, the parties stipulate to extending the expert discovery deadline by thirty days for the sole purpose of conducting discovery involving plaintiff's designated treating physicians from the current deadline of May 14, 2010, to June 14, 2010. Although defendant hopes to complete the depositions of these physicians prior to May 31, 2010, given the past struggles of the parties to find dates on which counsel for both parties are available for deposition, the parties believe that an extension of thirty days is more likely to allow successful scheduling of these depositions.
