UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN JOSE DIVISION 

LOUIS CHIARAMONTE, 

 Plaintiff, 

 vs. 

SANTA CRUZ BIG TREES & PACIFIC 

RAILWAY COMPANY, 

 Defendants. 

 

 The undersigned parties hereby stipulate that good cause exists for a continuance of the 

deadline for the completion of expert discovery and the deadline to file dispositive motions set by the 

Court in its Scheduling Order dated December 13, 2006 [Docket #15] because the parties have agreed 

to postpone expert discovery until after the Court rules on the defendant’s pending motion for

summary judgment which is currently set for hearing on November 5, 2007. Pursuant to the Court’s 

Scheduling Order, August 20, 2007 is the close of all discovery and the last day for the Court to hear 

dispositive motions is October 22, 2007. The parties have stipulated to extend the fact discovery cutoff to allow defendant to respond to plaintiff’s Request for Admissions, Set One and plaintiff’s 

Request for Production of Documents, Set Three on August 31, 2007 and to allow plaintiff’s 

previously notice site inspection to occur at a mutually convenient date in the future. The defendant 

was unable to schedule its motion for summary judgment within the deadline set for dispositive 

No. C06-1834 JW
