UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

ROSARIO JUAREZ, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

AUTOZONE STORES, INC., 

Defendant. 

Case No. 08CV417-L (BLM) 

ORDER GRANTING JOINT MOTION TO 

CONTINUE DATES 

On November 10, 2008, the parties filed a Joint Motion to modify the Case Management 

Order and continue certain dates. The Parties agreed that they have been working together to make 

the necessary disclosures and complete the discovery process in an efficient and timely manner. To 

date, the parties have not required Court intervention to resolve discovery disputes. The Parties 

agreed they have made initial disclosures, depositions are moving forward or are attempting to be 

scheduled, and lists of retained experts have been exchanged. 

While it appears Parties have been working diligently, the Parties now claim that the 

time line set forth in this Court’s May 8, 2008 Case Management Order will not allow the parties to 

complete discovery, explore settlement options, or be fully prepared for trial. 

The Parties have also informed the Court that they are currently working through a 

discovery dispute regarding the further production of documents. The Parties request additional time 

to resolve these disputes or narrow the issues in dispute. Further, because of the approaching 

business year end and holiday schedule, the Parties have stated that they are encountering issues

regarding witness availability and scheduling depositions. The Parties agree that a two month
