STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO FURTHER CONTINUE MEDIATION 

COMPLETION DEADLINE

Mediation had been scheduled to take place on October 4, 2012 before JAMS Mediator 

Judge Ellen Sickle James (Ret.). However, attorney-scheduling issues arose after the mediation 

was set and the mediation was taken off calendar. Since this, the court has twice extended the 

mediation-completion deadline as a result of the parties’ conclusion that further investigation 

was needed before the case would be ripe for mediation. Most recently, the court extended to 

February 4, 2013 the deadline for the parties to report on mediation. 

The parties have not yet completed mediation. The parties are cooperating and have 

conferred and concluded that additional time is needed for investigation and document 

production before proceeding with mediation. Accordingly, the parties agree that it would be 

best to further postpone the mediation-completion and –reporting dates. 

At this time the parties seek an order that: (1) they be given approximately 90 days from 

February 4, 2013, or until May 6, 2013, to complete mediation; (2) they be excused from filing 

an updated joint status report by February 4, 2013; and (3) they be given until May 10, 2013 to 

submit an updated joint status report concerning the outcome of the rescheduled mediation. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
