STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER RE LITIGATION SCHEDULE

Counsel for the parties to the above action have extensively

met and conferred about re-instituting a case schedule regarding

the above case. Pursuant to these efforts, and in consideration

of the parties’ respective caseload demands, the parties

stipulate to the litigation schedule set forth below and ask the

court to endorse it by way of formal order. 

As additional background to their agreed litigation

schedule, the parties further advise the Court that: (1) they

anticipate taking the depositions of witnesses relating both to

discovery matters and plaintiff’s claims by July 2008 (with as

many depositions to take place in Merced, California as

practicable), and that their agreed-upon close of discovery date

contemplates the possibility that these depositions may reveal

the need for follow up discovery; (2) the parties are each

amenable to the concept of engaging in a settlement conference,

but counsel for the Postal Service will need to further confer

about this issue with representatives of the Postal Service prior

to committing it to a date certain. Once all parties are able to

agree upon a date by which to participate in the settlement

conference, they will promptly contact the court regarding its

scheduling; (3) the parties agree to this scheduling stipulation

while presently unsure of when or the extent plaintiff’s counsel

may need to address significant issues relating to her health in

the future; and (4) the Postal Service anticipates arranging for

an expert to conduct a Rule 35 examination of plaintiff prior to

expert disclosures.

a. Close of Discovery: October 1, 2008
