“Parties”) hereby enter into the following stipulation, seeking to change certain pretrial 

deadlines and the trial date in the above-referenced matter. Good cause exists for this 

stipulation, and all parties join in this stipulation.

1

 

This lawsuit was removed to this Court on July 18, 2005. This Court issued a Pretrial 

(Status) Scheduling Order on October 27, 2005. That Order required the parties to complete 

discovery by August 16, 2006. It also required that dispositive motions be heard by 

September 11, 2006. 

On July 25, 2006, plaintiff filed a Stipulation of Counsel for Change of Discovery 

Cut-Off Date, seeking to move the date for the close of discovery to October 31, 2006 (but 

neglecting to seek to move other pretrial deadlines). There was good cause for that 

stipulation, including the fact that plaintiff’s emergency heart condition and resulting surgery 

had prevented the parties from taking his deposition. The Court granted that stipulation on 

July 25, 2006. 

The parties have been working to complete discovery, and do not seek an extension of 

that deadline. (Plaintiff’s deposition now has been taken, and the parties are scheduling other 

depositions so as to complete discovery in time for the October 31, 2006 deadline.) The 

parties wish, however, to adjust the previously-established pre-trial deadlines to accommodate 

the new October 31 date for the close of discovery. The parties’ proposed new deadlines are 

as follows: 

• Deadline for hearing dispositive motions: December 22, 2006; and 

• Deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses: sometime in or after March 2006 

(at least 60 days after the resolution of dispositive motions). 

These new deadlines would allow the parties time to complete discovery prior to filing 

any dispositive motions. In particular, PacifiCorp intends to file a motion for summary 

judgment. Having to file that motion before the close of discovery would be disadvantageous 

 

1

Plaintiff’s former employer, PacifiCorp, does business under the name ‘Pacific 

Power & Light Company.’ There is no such entity or employer as Pacific Power & Light 

Company. It is improperly named as a defendant. Further, former defendant John Hurd was 

dismissed from this case on March 28, 2006.

to PacifiCorp. Similarly, plaintiff will need complete discovery in order to respond. These 

new deadlines would also allow the parties time to designate experts for trial, after the 

resolution of dispositive motions. 

In addition, the parties wish to continue the January 17, 2007 trail date in this matter. 

Moving the trial date back to sometime in or after June, 2007, will allow time for resolution of 

dispositive motions and completion of expert discovery. It would also accommodate 

plaintiff’s current trial calendar, which includes a trial on February 2, 2007—immediately 

following the currently-set 10-day trail in this case. 

The parties stipulate to the foregoing, and respectfully request that the court enter an 

order conforming with this stipulation.
