Defendants.

Case No. 05-01012 CRB (JL) 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER SHORTENING TIME FOR 

PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION TO COMPEL 

DEPOSTION OF DEFENDANT’S

CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVE

The parties, by and through their attorneys of record, hereby submit the following 

Stipulation to shorten the time for plaintiffs’ to file their motion to compel the deposition of 

defendant’s corporate representative.

REASON FOR REQUEST

Despite attempts of counsel to complete the required depositions within the existing 

discovery deadline, they have encountered a severe scheduling/calendaring problem with one of 

defendant’s corporate representatives. For several months the parties have believed that this

deposition would be calendared. However, to date this has not occurred. This stipulation is made

in recognition that without it the motion, and discovery at issue, would not occur before the 

deadline for nonexpert discovery.

PREVIOUS TIME MODIFICATIONS

 The parties stipulated to, and the Court ordered, a continuation of the mediation deadline 

from December 16, 2005 to January 6, 2006. The parties stipulated to, and the court ordered, a 

continuation of the mediation deadline from January 6, 2006 to March 30, 2006. The parties also 

twice stipulated to, and the court ordered, a continuation of the close of nonexpert discovery from 

August 11, 2006 to September 30, 2006, and from September 30, 3006 to November 6, 2006. 

EFFECT OF PROPOSED TIME MODIFICATION ON CASE SCHEDULE

 The parties do not foresee negative effects on the case schedule resulting from this 

stipulation. In fact, the purpose of this motion is to complete discovery within the existing 

deadline. 

STIPULATION

 The parties stipulate and request that the Court shorten the time for plaintiffs’ motion to 

compel the deposition of defendant’s corporate representative as follows:

October 27, 2006 – Defendant’s opposition due 

October 30, 2006 – Plaintiffs’ reply brief 

November 1, 2006 – Hearing date. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
