Case No. C06-02066 SI

Nakagawa v. UC Regents

Stipulation to Extend Discovery Cutoff

- 2 -

2008 by 30 days to July 13, 2008.

In support of the foregoing Stipulation, the parties through their undersigned counsel ,

declare as follows:

1. On October 9, 2007, this Court granted a modification to the Pre-Trial Preparation

Order, establishing June 13, 2008 as the discovery cutoff date for both expert and non-expert

discovery requests.

2. On March 20, 2008, Plaintiff filed a Motion to Compel Production of Personnel

Files in this case. The Court responded to Plaintiff’s Motion on April 22, 2008, partially

granting Plaintiff’s request for personnel files. Defendants, as a result, have had thirty (30) days

to submit these personnel files. Plaintiff expects to receive these personnel files very shortly.

3. Plaintiff anticipates propounding additional discovery requests upon 

review of these personnel files. Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 33(b)(2) and

Rule 34(b)(2)(A), parties have thirty (30) days to respond to discovery requests propounded to

them. The current date set for discovery cutoff on June 13, 2008 will not provide Defendants

with the requisite thirty days (30) to respond to these anticipated discovery requests. Therefore,

Plaintiff will require additional time in discovery to submit these discovery requests and obtain

responses from Defendant to these discovery requests.

4. Further, the parties are currently in the process of “meeting and conferring” on

other discovery issues and scheduling depositions during this month. Also, Plaintiff’s Counsels

will be at trial during much of the month of June on a complex litigation matter in another case

and will be preparing for the trial during the month of May. The additional 30 days of discovery

will help ease the burden of scheduling depositions and resolving discovery issues in this case

during this period.

5. The parties still anticipate appearing for the scheduled settlement conference on

June 26, 2008 with Magistrate Judge Elizabeth LaPorte, as most of the discovery will have been
