pretrjaL jnformation sheet is due), and to make your expert
available for deposition a reasonable time thereafter. By
agreeing to reschedu-le at your request, wB are not waiving any
claims that we have to be informed by February 10, l.988, of alL
the witnesses you intend to caLl. AccordingJy, w€ are producing
Dr. Engstrom for deposition after the discovery per:.od under the
