for a ten-day trial less than five months away starting December By this Courts Order the parties were required on the last business day no later than days prior to trial to exchange trial exhibits and witnesses including names and addresses of all expert witnesses This deadline for compliance with the Courts Order was Friday October Despite this last evening Defendant filed Defendants Seventh Amended and Supplemental Witness List adding two never before disclosed Expert Witnesses and moving six Fact Witnesses into the Expert Witn ss column Plaintiff continues to be prejudiced by Defendants change in damages claim with the original expert first named October and further prejudiced by the addition of eight new experts belatedly disclosed Therefore Plaintiff supplements his request for a trial postponement of days ARGUMENT DEFENDANTS UNTIMELY ADDITION OF EIGHT EXPERT WITNESSES TWO NEVER BEFORE DISCLOSED FURTHER SUPPORTS PLAINTIFFS REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL TIME TO PREPARE FOR TRIAL DUE TO EVENTS OUTSIDE OF ms CONTROL As previously expressed Plaintiff needs to identify and hire an expert to address the extent to which Plaintiffs allegations damaged Defendants reputation and the testimony of Defendants newly disclosed expert who will be testifying on this subject This was the basis of Plaintiffs original motion requesting trial postponement because Defendants first expert witness Bernard Jansen Ph.D contradicted Defendants answers to damages interrogatories by adding reputational damages More than one month past the disclosure deadline pursuant to this Courts trial Order last evening at on November Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff Bradley Edwards filed his Seventh Amended and Supplemental Witness List identifying for the very first time two additional witnesses Earleen Cote Esquire Kubicki Draper One East Broward Boulevard Sutie Fort Lauderdale FL William Berger Esquire Weiss Handler Cornwell P.A Glades Road Suite Boca Raton FL In addition to the above never-before-disclosed expert witnesses Defendant/Counter-Plaintiff newly identified previously disclosed Fact Witnesses as now Expert Witnesses The following witnesses are attorneys that are not retained or specially employed to provide expert testimony but may provide opinions relating to the prop1iety of Brad Edwards conduct of discovery in the prosecution of the Epstein claims Robert osefsberg Esquire Charles Lichtman Esquire Spencer Kuvin Esquire Theodore Leopold Esquire Adam Horowitz Esquire Isidro Garcia Esquire The decision to grant or deny a continuance is within the trial courts discretion and that decision will not be disturbed on appeal absent an abuse of discretion Taylor Inst for Med Weight Loss So.2d Fla 4th DCA In determining whether the trial judge has abused his discretion a reviewing court should consider whether the denial of the continuance creates an injustice for the movant whether the cause of the request for continuance was unforeseeable by the movant and not the result of dilatory practices and whether the opposing party would suffer any prejudice or inconvenience as a result of a continuance Fleming Fleming So.2d Fla 4th DCA Because of this late disclosure and change in position regarding the damages claimed by Counter-Plaintiff Plaintiff now needs the discovery Defendant claimed was in-elevant and also must identify and retain an expert to testify about among other things the number of people who may have read articles discussing Plaintiffs allegations tying Defendant to Rothsteins Ponzi scheme and the impact this may or may not have had on Defendants reputation The expert will need time to study and investigate Defendants responses to the previously objected to discovery which the Comt should order be produced forthwith and Defendants expe1ts analysis perform his own study draft his own report and assist Plaintiffs counsel in preparing to take the deposition of Defendants expert Additionally Defendants new experts depositions will need to be taken as well All of this cannot be accomplished in a single month CONCLUSION Plaintiff supplements his request for a brief 90-day continuance of the patties trial date_ based on Defendants untimely addition and disclosure of eight expert witnesses two of whom we1:e never previously disclosed as any type of trial witnesses Plaintiff would be prejudiced if this trial proceeded on December based on the reasons stated in the original motion as well as the new damages expe1t witness disclosures Plaintiff respectfully requests that this Court grant the request for a
