As grounds therefore, Plaintiff states as follows: ae On April 6, 2006, this Honorable Court entered its Order Setting Jury Trial and Directing Pretrial and Mediation Procedures in this matter. 2.

Defendants, MATTHEW ALEXANDER LINDSAY and LEON R. REED, were to have filed their Witness and Exhibit Lists on November 14, 2006 as well. However, Defendants, MATTHEW ALEXANDER LINDSAY and LEON R. REED, failed to serve or file their Witness and Exhibit Lists as required by the Court's Order SettingCase No. 502005CA011784XXXXMB (AD) Page 2 Jury Trial. 4. On January 19, 2007, more than two months after the deadline to disclose experts, Defendants, MATTHEW ALEXANDER LINDSAY and LEON R. REED, served a report of an independent review of Plaintiffs medical records which was prepared by Dr. Bruce E. Janke on January 16, 2007. 5. On January 19, 2007, Defendants, MATTHEW ALEXANDER LINDSAY and LEON R. REED, served their Notice of Filing Report of Dr. Bruce Janke. 6. At no time prior to January 19, 2007, did Defendants, MATTHEW ALEXANDER LINDSAY and LEON R. REED, list Dr. Bruce E. Janke as an expert on any witness list, as none was filed by the Defendants. Te Defendants, MATTHEW ALEXANDER LINDSAY and LEON R. REED, never listed Dr. Janke on any exhibit list as, again, none was filed by the Defendants. 8. The Court's Order Setting Jury Trial specifically states that “a party desiring to use an exhibit or witness discovered after counsel have conferred pursuant to paragraph D shall immediately furnish the Court and other counsel with a description of the exhibit or with the witness’ name and address and the expected subject matter of the witness’ testimony, together with the reason for the late discovery of the exhibit or witness. Use of the exhibit or witness may be allowed by the Court for good cause shown or to prevent manifest injustice.” 9. This case was filed with the Court on December 13, 2005. The Order Setting Jury Trial was filed and served on April 26 2006, providing eleven (11) months’ notice to the parties of impending trial of this matter and six and one-half (6 %) month's notice of the due date of the disclosure of witnesses and exhibits.Case No. 502005CA011784XXXXMB (AD) Page 3 10. Defendants had more than ample opportunity to schedule Plaintiff, BRIAN ARTHUR ANDERSON for an Independent Medical Examination but failed to timely do so. Further, Defendants failed to provide Plaintiff with the reason for the late notice of this witness. 11. Allowing the Defendants to file the report of Dr. Janke would unfairly prejudice Plaintiff, BRIAN ARTHUR ANDERSON and result in “manifest injustice.” WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, BRIAN ARTHUR ANDERSON, respectfully requests the Court enter an Order striking Defendants’ Notice of Filing Report of Dr. Bruce Janke.
