The length of the exam will be 2.0 hours. 27 Pursuant to the Court’s Order, the court will not set limitations on the kinds of tests Dr. 28 Greene will be allowed to conduct. [See, e.g., Newman, 272 F.R.D. 505 (declining to limit the 1 kinds of tests proposed without evidence that certain tests will be dangerous to the examinee).] 2 Further, no specific limits are set on Dr. Greene’s questioning of Plaintiff Wagnon concerning 3 Plaintiff From’s history. However, defendants are cautioned that Dr. Greene’s exam shall not be 4 harassing to plaintiffs and shall not act as a second deposition. Thus, to the extent Dr. Greene can 5 conduct any investigation of Plaintiff From’s history prior to the examination, so as to lessen the 6 7 burden on Plaintiff Wagnon, the doctor shall do so. 8 Finally, Plaintiff Wagnon may terminate Dr. Greene’s examination if at any time, she 9 feels, in good faith, that the examination is overly traumatizing to her son. Counsel for plaintiff 10 shall review this good faith standard with Plaintiff Wagnon before the examination and shall 11 12 make her aware that if the examination is ended early, it will be rescheduled for a future date. 13 However, if the exam is prematurely terminated, it will be rescheduled to continue on a 14 future date. The court will endeavor to make itself available on the day of the examination, 15 should any good faith disputes arise requiring court intervention . 16 Dated: September 15, 2022 Evans Wieckowski Ward & Scoffield, LLP 17 18 By: /s/ Cathleen Fralick 19 Cathleen Fralick, Attorney for Defendants Rocklin Unified School 20 District, Placer County Office of Public 21 Education, and David Hawkins 22 Dated: September 26, 2022 Medina, McKelvey LLP 23 24 By: /s/ Allison Hyatt 25 Allison Hyatt, Attorney for 26 Plaintiffs Alicia Wagnon, in her individual capacity and as conservator for Sullivan 27 From 28 III IOI IIE IEE IEE IIE ED OE 1 ° ORDER 3 It is HEREBY ORDERED that pursuant to the parties’ stipulation above, the Independent Medical Examination will be conducted on the conditions outlined above. || Dated: September 28, 2022 7 Fe_sil L 3 KENDALL J.NE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 9 |} wagn.1666 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Stipulation and Order Re IME 2:17-CV-01666-TLN-KIN -3-
