 Pursuant to Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, counsel for the parties in this matter declare:

“Case Management Order”), the Completion of Fact Discovery has a deadline of June 1, 2006, the

2. Also under the Case Management Order, Defendants’ dispositive motion is to be filed 

by June 16, 2006, with opposition due June 30, 2006, and reply due July 7, 2006. As well, under 

the Case Management Order, the Final Pretrial Conference is scheduled for November 3, 2006 at 

1:30 pm and the 2-day Court Trial is set to begin on November 20, 2006 at 8:30 am. 

3. On May 12, 2006, the Court granted Plaintiff’s Amended Motion for Leave to File First 

Amended Complaint. As such, the version of the Complaint that is to be the basis of Plaintiff’s 

case was not resolved until just last week and will require further discovery beyond the due dates 

in the Case Management Order. In addition, Defendants will file a revised answer and 

counterclaim to the Amended Complaint which will also require further discovery beyond the due 

dates in the Case Management Order. Likewise, the dispositive motions will require extended due 

dates since they will be based on facts learned thru discovery. To accommodate any continuances 

of the dispositive motions in order to provide the Court sufficient time to consider them (and 

possibly hold a hearing on the matter), the Final Pretrial Conference date and the Trial date would 

also need to be continued. 

4. A mediation session between the parties was held on March 27, 2006, but the parties 

were unable to reach a settlement on the case, such that further discovery is necessary. 

5. The parties, through their respective counsel of record, met and conferred on May 5, 

2006, regarding outstanding discovery matters and agreed that the discovery due dates noted 

above shall be extended until August 1, 2006, so that the parties shall have more time in which to 

conduct discovery. The parties also met and conferred on May 12, 2006 to agree that Defendants’ 

deadline for filing their dispositive motion shall be extended until August 16, 2006, with 

opposition due August 30, 2006, and reply due September 7, 2006, in light of the revised 

discovery dates. Finally, the parties met and conferred on May 17, 2006 to agree that the Final 

Pretrial Conference be rescheduled for February 2, 2007, and that the Court Trial date be 

rescheduled to begin on February 12, 2007, such dates having been confirmed as currently 

available with the Court. 

6. The parties do not believe that a continuance of the Completion of Fact Discovery, the 

Disclosure of Identities and Reports of Expert Witnesses, and the Completion of Expert 

Case 4:05-cv-03927-CW Document 68 Filed 05/24/06 Page 2 of 5

Testimony until August 1, 2006 will have any prejudicial effect on the case scheduling. Similarly, 

if the Final Pretrial Conference is continued until February 2, 2007 and the Court Trial date is 

continued to February 12, 2007, as the parties have agreed, the revised date for Defendants’ 

dispositive motion to August 16, 2006, with opposition due August 30, 2006, and reply due 

September 7, 2006, still leaves sufficient time before trial for the Court to consider the filings and 

would not to have any prejudicial effect on the case scheduling. 

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between and among 

the parties hereto, by and through their respective undersigned counsel, that the deadline dates for 

the Completion of Fact Discovery, the Disclosure of Identities and Reports of Expert Witnesses, 

and the Completion of Expert Testimony shall be continued to August 1, 2006; that the filing 

deadline for Defendants’ dispositive motion shall be continued to August 16, 2006, with 

opposition due August 30, 2006, and reply due September 7, 2006; and that the Final Pretrial 

Conference be continued to 1:30 pm on February 2, 2007 and the 2-day Court Trial be continued 

to begin at 8:30 am on February 12, 2007.
