M. VERGARA and J. WATTERS, by and through their respective attorneys of record,

hereby agree to the proposed changes set forth below and request the Court to modify the

Pre-Trial Scheduling Order issued June 7, 2007 as follows:

All discovery shall be completed September 16, 2008

Expert Witness Disclosure July 15, 2008

Supplemental Rebuttal Disclosure of Experts August 15, 2008

LD to File Non-Dispositive Motions September 30, 2008

Hearing on all Non-Dispositive Motions November 1, 2008

Dispositive Motions Shall be Filed October 15, 2008

Hearing on all Dispositive Motions November 21, 2008

Final Pre-Trial Conference January 2009

Trial February 2009

Good cause exists to modify the scheduling order because the parties have agreed in

good faith to engage in mediation in the hopes to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Additional time is necessary to ensure that all necessary parties attend the mediation in that

this is a wrongful death action in which two minor heirs are named as Defendants but have

Thus, it will be necessary to take those steps in order to properly mediate and resolve this

action. All parties have agreed to mediate this matter as soon as reasonably possible and

therefore respectfully request modification of the scheduling order as identified above.
