Judge: The Hon. Richard Seeborg

This Joint Stipulation to Modify the Court’s Case Management Scheduling Order is

submitted by all parties to this action. Said parties respectfully request that the Court modify its Case

Management Scheduling Order of May 14, 2015 to provide for a new date for exchange and filing

of a Joint Pre-trial Statement, motions in limine, proposed voir dire questions, and jury instructions.

RECITALS

A. On May 14, 2015, the Court issued its Case Management Scheduling Order

providing for a trial date of February 29, 2016. In that Order the Court set a Pretrial

Conference for February 11, 2016.

the court a Joint Pretrial Statement, file and serve motions in limine on or before

Monday February 1, 2016, and to file proposed voir dire questions, jury instructions,

verdict forms and oppositions to motions in limine on or before Friday, February 5,

2016.

C. On January 21, 2016, the Court referred this matter for a Mandatory Settlement

Conference before Magistrate Jacqueline Scott Corley. That Mandatory Settlement

Conference is now scheduled for Monday, February 1, 2016. 

D. The parties intend to engage in good faith settlement discussions and are optimistic

that, with Magistrate Corley’s assistance, this matter may be resolved by way of

settlement. 

E. With the Court’s permission, the parties respectfully request that the pretrial

deadlines set forth in the Court’s initial Case Management Scheduling Order and the

Court’s Standing Order and Guidelines be extended for a short period of time after

the Mandatory Settlement Conference, but in advance of the Pretrial Conference so

that the parties may devote their time and attention to efforts to resolve the case and

avoid incurring the time and expense of pretrial preparation if, in fact, a settlement

can be reached. 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties respectfully stipulate and request that the Court order that 

(1) the last day for the parties to exchange exhibits, lodge with the court a Joint Pretrial

Statement, file and serve motions in limine shall be continued from February 1, 2016

until February 4, 2016;

(2) the last day for filing proposed voir dire questions, jury instructions, verdict forms

and oppositions to motions in limine be continued from Friday, February 5, 2016

until Tuesday, February 9, 2016.

(3) the Pretrial Conference shall remain as scheduled on February 11, 2016 and all other
