MOTIONS TO COMPEL NON-EXPERT 

This stipulation is made by and between defendants Merrill Lynch Life 

Insurance Company and Merrill Lynch Life Agency, Inc. (together, “Defendants”), 

on the one hand, and plaintiff Dale Sakai, in his capacity as Trustee of the Fusako 

Sakai 1995 Revocable Trust under Trust Agreement dated June 27, 1999 

(“Plaintiff”) (collectively with Defendants, the “Parties”), on the other hand, 

pursuant to N.D. Local Rule 7-12, with reference to the following facts: 

1. WHEREAS, on January 5, 2007, Plaintiff filed the Third Amended 

Complaint for Damages; 

2. WHEREAS, on February 12, 2007, the above-captioned Court entered 

the Pretrial Preparation Order, pursuant to which the Court, among other things, 

established September 7, 2007 as the non-expert discovery cut-off date; 

3. WHEREAS, on May 25, 2007, Defendants filed the Answer of 

Defendants to the Third Amended Complaint; 

4. WHEREAS, the court-ordered deadline for completing non-expert 

discovery was September 21, 2007; 

5. WHEREAS, pursuant to L.R. 26-2, the deadline to file motions to 

compel non-expert discovery is currently set for October 2, 2007; 

6. WHEREAS, to permit additional time to “meet and confer” regarding 

certain outstanding discovery issues, the Parties believe that a brief, one-week 

continuance of the deadline to file motions to compel non-expert discovery is 

necessary and appropriate; 

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective attorneys, hereby 

stipulate as follows: 

1. The deadline to file motions to compel non-expert discovery shall be, 

subject to the Court’s approval, continued by one week from October 2, 2007 to 

October 9, 2007.
