Have a scheduling order that is biting me.
The other side file a motion for a scheduling order and the Judge immediately signed it. It gave me less than 30 days to disclose expert witnesses.
The order stated that I was to disclose witnesses by June 30.
On June 30, I filed a motion for more time based on these facts:
1.The Plaintiff has been occupied with a family matter and is experiencing difficulty in finding and retaining expert witnesses at this time.
2.The Plaintiff never agreed to the Defendant's council proposed scheduling order, therefore never signed it.
3.The Plaintiff has prepared and sent to the Defendant a second request for admissions and first interrogatory request.
4. Until the Defendant properly answers these request the Plaintiff can not determine for what purpose an expert(s) is needed.
On July 7, the Judge made an entry denying the motion for the extension of time.
Now what?
