STIPULATION AND [proposed] ORDER CONTINUING 

LAST DATE FOR HEARING DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS C05-04045 EMC 

 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through their respective 

attorneys, as follows: 

1. Pursuant to the Court’s September 8, 2006 First Amended Case Management 

Order, the last day for hearing dispositive motions is July 6, 2007. A jury trial is scheduled to 

begin September 24, 2007. 

2. Defendants have advised plaintiffs that in an effort to narrow and define issues 

for trial, they intend to file a motion for summary adjudication on a number of issues. In order 

to meet the July 6, 2007 deadline, defendants indicated that they would like to notice the 

hearing for June 27, 2007. 

3. Lead trial counsel for plaintiffs, Ben Nisenbaum, is unavailable on June 27, 

2007 due to a one-week trial scheduled to begin June 25, 2007 before Magistrate Judge 

Larson. That trial is almost certain to go forward on that date. 

4. Because of the July 4th holiday, the next civil motion date available on the 

Court’s calendar is July 11, 2007. 

5. Both parties are available on July 11, 2007 for a hearing on defendants’ motion 

for summary adjudication. Additionally, the parties are already scheduled to appear for a 

further case management conference on July 11, 2007 at 2:30 p.m. 

6. The parties thus request that the last day for hearing dispositive motions be 

continued by one week to July 11, 2007 to accommodate counsel’s schedule and the July 4th

holiday. 

7. The parties further agree that continuance of this one deadline will not 

prejudice either party or cause unnecessary hardship or delay.

8. The parties have previously requested a continuance of the case 

management and pretrial deadlines because of defense counsel’s maternity leave. No 

further requests for continuances are anticipated.
