TO THIS HONORABLE COURT, ALL PARTIES, AND THEIR COUNSEL 

OF RECORD:

Plaintiff Katharine Kirkpatrick (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant State Farm Mutual 

Automobile Insurance Company ( “Defendant”) hereby stipulate to continue the Case 

Management Conference in this action, currently scheduled for April 7, 2020 to July 7, 

2020 or an available date soon thereafter. 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed her Complaint in this matter in the Superior Court of 

California, County of Humboldt, on April 30, 2019.

WHEREAS, Defendant filed a Notice of Removal and removed this case to the 

United States District Court, Northern District of California, on June 25, 2019.

WHEREAS, the parties appeared for a Case Management Conference on

September 24, 2019, and were referred to Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins to 

participate in a settlement conference.

WHEREAS, the parties appeared before Judge Cousins on November 19, 2019, 

and a settlement conference was set for January 16, 2020. 

WHEREAS, the parties rescheduled the January 16, 2020 settlement conference to 

March 5, 2020 to allow additional time for the parties to confirm a date for Plaintiff’s 

deposition in January 2020.

WHEREAS, due to unforeseen circumstances, including a sick child and flight 

cancellations due to severe weather conditions in Eureka, CA (Plaintiff’s location), the 

parties rescheduled the March 5, 2020 settlement conference to May 7, 2020, which the 

parties anticipate will be continued in light of COVID-19 Orders. 

WHEREAS, due to the Safer at Home Orders, Plaintiff’s deposition has not yet 

been taken, and the parties are conferring regarding a potential video deposition via 

Zoom or other teleconference service in May or June 2020.
