Case No. C 04-5220 MEJ MED

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED

ORDER CONTINUING MEDIATION

DEADLINE

On April 20, 2005, this Court issued an order that the parties attend a mediation by

November 18, 2005. Defendant propounded discovery requests on September 13, 2005 and

Plaintiff has requested additional time to respond. Plaintiff has had difficulty scheduling the

depositions of medical professionals who are no longer employed by the Department of Veterans

Affairs. Given the limited amount of discovery, the parties do not believe that they can have

productive settlement negotiations prior to the current mediation deadline. Therefore, the parties

stipulate to continue the current mediation deadline until February 10, 2006.
