This Stipulation to continue the trial and pretrial conference dates, and to amend the 

pretrial schedule in accordance with the new trial date, is submitted by all parties in this action, 

through their respective counsel, including: Plaintiff Authentic Alaska, LLC (“Plaintiff”); 

Defendants Assemblers, Inc. and Assemblers Food Packaging LLC (“Defendants”), and ThirdParty Defendant, Jensen’s Old Fashioned Smokehouse, Inc. (“Third-Party Defendant”). Pursuant 

to this Stipulation, and for good cause shown, the parties jointly request the Court to continue the 

trial and pretrial conference dates and pretrial deadlines. 

I. RECITALS 

On August 24, 2018, the parties engaged in mediation in an effort to attempt to resolve 

this matter to avoid the expense of additional discovery after an initial exchange of documents.

Case No. 3:17-cv-05675-RS 

Gordon Rees Scully Mansukhani, LLP

3 Parkcenter Drive, Suite 200

Sacramento, CA 95825

The mediation took place approximately six weeks after Third-Party Defendant answered 

Defendant’s Third-Party Complaint. The mediation was unsuccessful, and the parties are 

engaged in the next wave of discovery including depositions. 

The current trial date is March 25, 2019, with a discovery cut-off date of December 1, 

2018, for non-expert discovery, and disclosure of experts due on November 4, 2018, and 

discovery cut-off for completion of expert discovery on December 16, 2018. Non-expert and 

expert discovery likely will take place in multiple states (California, Illinois, Washington and 

Alaska). The parties and counsel will be unable to complete discovery within the above 

deadlines given Third-Party Defendant’s recent entry into this matter, the mediation, and various 

scheduling conflicts. 

This is the parties’ first request for a trial continuance. The parties consulted with the 

court clerk who advised that July 8, 2019, was the Court’s first date for the continued trial date 

available after the original trial date. 

II. AGREEMENT 

Therefore, in order to allow the parties to complete discovery and properly prepare for 

trial, the parties stipulate and agree to vacate the current trial and pretrial conference dates, and 

propose a new trial date of July 8, 2019, and a new pretrial conference date of June 19, 2019, 

with pretrial deadlines to be adjusted in accordance with the new trial date. The following table 

shows the existing dates and deadlines and the new proposed dates and deadlines. 

Current Dates and Deadlines Proposed New Dates and Deadlines 

December 1, 2018: All non-expert 

discovery shall be completed by the parties. 

Discovery shall be limited as follows: (a) ten 

(10) non-expert deposition per party; 

(b) twenty-five (25) interrogatories per party, 

including all discrete subparts; (c) a 

reasonable number of requests for production 

of documents or for inspection per party; and 

(d) a reasonable number of requests for 

admission per party.
