UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR

ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF UNDER

CIVIL LOCAL RULE 7-11 BASED ON

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED

ORDER

SUBJECT TO THE AGREEMENT OF THE COURT, THE PARTIES STIPULATE BY

AND THROUGH THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD TO EXTEND THE TIME PERIOD FOR

COMPLETION OF MEDIATION IN THIS CASE BY APPROXIMATELY 90 DAYS,

THROUGH JANUARY 19, 2006.

The parties make this request due to discovery-related issues involving a state court

juvenile proceeding and state confidentiality laws. In this case, plaintiff alleges that a federal

employee improperly disclosed her private information to a state agency, which then used that

information against the plaintiff in the state court juvenile proceeding. At present, plaintiff takes

the position that she is constrained by state confidentiality laws from producing documents or

even giving oral testimony about the events in the state proceeding. The parties sought a

protective order at a hearing on October 4, 2005. The Court expressed an unwillingness to rule

on the discovery issue until the position of the plaintiff’s daughter and other interested parties

was clarified. As a result, the parties agreed to postpone the plaintiff’s deposition set for October

5 . Also, the parties informed the mediator Marjorie Gelb, Esq. of these developments and their th

intent to seek this order.

Under ADR Local Rule 6-4(b), the mediation must be conducted within 90 days of the

Case Management Conference or issuance of the initial case management order, whichever

occurs first. Thus, the mediation must be conducted no later than October 17, 2005.

In light of the discovery issues, the parties believe an extension of the time period for

mediation is warranted and should be ordered. Under Civil Local Rule 7-11, the parties stipulate

to the extension of the time period for completion of mediation in this case by approximately 90

days, through and including January 19, 2006, and request that the Court sign the order below.
