STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME

FOR DISCOVERY

[FRCP Rule 29, Local Rule 37-251]

Counsel for Plaintiff, RICARDO MEDINA-TEJADA and counsel for Defendants

00373766.WPD STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR DISCOVERY

conferred several times regarding discovery issues and scheduling difficulties and, since the

court’s March 31, 2005 order regarding discovery matters, all counsel have worked cooperatively

and diligently in conducting discovery. All counsel agree that the difficulty of locating witnesses,

and the fact Plaintiff had to be deposed outside the State of California, have made it necessary to

extend the time for discovery so that both Plaintiff’s counsel and defense counsel will have

adequate time to conduct discovery necessary to prepare the case for settlement or trial.

On June 24, 2005, defense counsel contacted Plaintiff’s counsel, Dani Williams, and

offered to stipulate to extend the time for discovery so that all parties might conclude necessary

discovery already underway prior to the June 26, 2005 close of discovery. On June 24, 2005,

counsel for Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants agreed to extend the time for discovery.

Accordingly, all counsel hereby stipulate and agree to extend the time for discovery up to and

including November 30, 2005, and request the court make an order modifying its Amended

Pretrial Scheduling Order of May 4, 2004, to extend the time for discovery from June 26, 2005 up

to and including November 30, 2005.

The parties are willing to move the trial date or keep the trial date as the court may desire.
