UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

PEGGY BOYNTON,

_______________________________________ 

Plaintiff/Counter-Defendant Peggy Boynton (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant/Counter-Claimant 

United States of America (“Defendant”), through their respective undersigned counsel, hereby agree 

and STIPULATE, subject to the Court’s approval, as follows: 

1. On October 5, 2016, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution and 

noticed it for hearing for November 3, 2016. ECF 107. By Minute Order issued November 1, 2016,

a Minute Order, therein noting that Plaintiff failed to file an opposition or statement of nonopposition in violation of E.D. Cal. R. 230(c), and ordered Plaintiff to show cause in writing, not 

later than ten (10) days following the date the order was electronically filed, as to why Plaintiff’s 

case should not be dismissed with prejudice. ECF 112. 

2. Under the current scheduling order, expert witness disclosure is due December 5, 

2016, and the deadline for dispositive motions is March 23, 2017, and any such motions must be 

filed at least eight weeks before the hearing, to wit, on or before January 26, 2017. ECF 103. 

3. Defendant has hired an expert to support its defense of Plaintiff’s claim. Given that 

Plaintiff’s claim could be dismissed, the Government does not want to have to expend hundreds of 

dollars it is likely to incur in expert discovery-related costs. 

4. Accordingly, the parties hereby agree to a 60-day extension of the expert witness 

disclosure date and deadline for dispositive motions, subject to the Court’s approval, in order to give 

the Court time to rule on Defendant’s motion to dismiss and avoid Defendant having to incur a 

costly, unnecessary expense. If said motion is granted, it would moot Defendant’s need for its 

expert witness.
