And apparently due to Michaels falling ill both Bubba and Nielsen are asking to push back the deadline to complete discovery, which was supposed to be today. Two days ago Nielsen took the deposition of Rhody Bosley and Nielsen expert David Haas. Michaels is being called a rebuttal witness. His deposition was scheduled for today in Cincinnati until be became ill so that has to be rescheduled.
Also, and this may have to do with Bubba’s counterclaim, Nielsen says, “New factual developments have occurred since Nielsen served the expert report of its expert witness, David Haas, on November 18, 2016, which may impact Mr. Haas’ opinion and analysis as to damages, and which will require Mr. Haas to prepare and submit an amended expert report. These facts came to light just prior to Mr. Haas’ deposition. Nielsen will serve an Amended Report of Mr. Haas on or before January 30, 2017. Defendants have requested an opportunity to depose Mr. Haas again, this time on any new material contained in an Amended Report. Defendants have also requested additional time to file a Daubert motion.”
Both sides are asking for an extension to February 17.
