Case No. C 04-02255 MMC

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER CONTINUING PRE-TRIAL

DATES

For the reasons set forth below, the parties to the above-entitled action stipulate, agree

and request the court continue the dates currently set for expert designation, expert discovery and

the date to complete private mediation.

The parties had previously agreed to defer the continued deposition of plaintiff until his

condition was permanent and stationary. Mr. Maxie is still undergoing medical tests and

consultations. Defendants are currently awaiting results and reports from recent tests. 

Defendants have scheduled an independent medical examination and further deposition of

plaintiff Daniel Maxie with the understanding that the test results and report are going to be

available. Defendants have also re-noticed plaintiff’s further deposition for October after the

IME.

The parties also wish to participate in meaningful settlement discussions. The current

mediation cut-off is November 1, 2006. The parties have agreed to a private mediator, Jerry

Spolter, and had previously scheduled a mediation for October 10, 2006. Given the anticipated

IME of plaintiff and plaintiff’s further deposition, the parties cannot meaningfully participate in

settlement discussions before the current cut-off date. Defendants will not be able to review the

IME report and depose plaintiff in time to mediate on October 10, 2006, and so the parties agreed

to a continue the mediation until December 6, 2006.

Because of the expense involved in mediation and also in the retention and designation of

experts, the parties seek to continue expert disclosure and expert discovery until after the

mediation has been conducted.

Accordingly, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the following pretrial dates

be continued as follows:

Expert disclosure & reports December 22, 2006

(Present Date: November 1, 2006)

Expert Discovery cut-off January 15, 2007

(Present date: December 15, 2006)

Private mediation completion December 8, 2006

(Present date: November 1, 2006)

The parties do not seek continuance of any of the other dates set forth on the Third

Amended Pretrial Preparation Order entered on March 16, 2006.
