IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, Plaintiff ALAN J. 

VALLARINE, D.D.S. (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants DOUGLAS E. FREEMAN, CAROL E. 

FREEMAN, VICKIE A. KASPRYZK, DAVID KASPRYZK, and FRESNO DENTAL 

SURGERY CENTER, INC., (collectively referred to herein as “the Parties”) by and through their 

respective attorneys of record as follows: 

1. The Parties participated in a mediation for this instant action and in the related 

state court action entitled Vallarine v. Freeman, et al., Fresno Superior Court Case No. 06 CE CG 

00510 AMS before Retired Judge Nickolas J. Dibiaso on August 14, 2007. The Parties agreed at 

the mediation that all discovery would be stayed pending the scheduling and completion of the 

depositions of the Denti-Cal employees. Defendants attempted to schedule these depositions but

because the State of California would not provide dates until they secured representation, the 

depositions took approximately 4 months to schedule. These depositions were taken on January 

9, 2008. Judge Dibiaso requested that the Parties appear for a second mediation after the 

completion of the Denti-Cal depositions, which was set for February 25, 2008. However, 

Plaintiff decided not to participate in a second mediation because of a disagreement regarding a 

condition for mediation. Because of this delay and in order to properly prepare for trial, the 

Parties agree that the current trial and pre-trial related deadlines, and corresponding discovery that 

must be undertaken to meet those deadlines, would be unduly hampered if the trial date remains 

as scheduled. The Parties wish to engage in further and good faith settlement efforts in order to 

resolve the matter. 

2. Accordingly, the Parties agree that a continuance of the trial and related dates is 

appropriate and necessary to allow the parties to complete the substantial discovery which must 

still take place in this matter and engage in further and good faith settlement efforts in order to 

resolve the matter. 

3. Based on the foregoing, the parties hereby stipulate that the court should continue 

the trial and related dates as follows: 

a. Non-expert Discovery Cutoff: September 11, 2008. 

b. Expert Witness Disclosures, including reports: September 25, 2008 

c. Supplemental Expert Disclosures: October 20, 2008. 

d. Expert Discovery Cutoff: October 30, 2008. 

e. Non-Dispositive Motion Filing Deadline: November 18, 2008. 

f. Non-Dispositive Motion Hearing Deadline: December 9, 2008. 

g. Dispositive Motion Filing Deadline: December 9, 2008. 

h. Dispositive Motion Hearing Deadline: January 9, 2009. 

i. Joint Pre-Trial Statement Deadline: February 6, 2009. 

j. Date of Final Pre-Trial Conference: February 13, 2009, 8:30 a.m., Dept. 4 

k. Jury Trial: March 31, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. (before the Honorable Anthony W. Ishii) 

(estimated at 10 days).

4. The parties also agree that, should any of the above-referenced proposed dates be 

inconvenient or unacceptable for any reason, the Court has the discretion to set other dates which 

are more convenient or acceptable. However, counsel request that, in any event, the current dates 

and/or deadlines in this matter be continued for at least six (6) months.
