OPINION DENYING PETITION FOR REHEARING
Sumner County has filed a timely petition for rehearing in accordance with
Tenn. R. App. P. 39 requesting this court to reconsider its December 5, 1997 opinion
because it misapprehends the application of Tenn. R. Civ. P. 26.02(3) and 26.02(4).
Citing Taylor v. Anderson-Tully Co., 151 F.R.D. 295, 296 (W.D. Tenn. 1993), the
County asserts that the routine disclosure of an expert’s report prior to deposing the
expert is “not a practice to be encouraged.” We respectfully disagree. Accordingly,
the petition for rehearing is denied.
