UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

KATHLEEN LEE TERRY, 

Plaintiff, 

vs. 

ALLSTATE INSURANCE COMPANY, et al. 

Defendants. 

Case No. 05- 02261 DFL DAD 

AMENDED STIPULATED MOTION TO 

MODIFY STATUS (PRE-TRIAL 

SCHEDULING) ORDER TO CONTINUE 

TRIAL AND ALL PRE-TRIAL DATES; 

ORDER 

By and through their counsel of record, the parties jointly submit this stipulated motion 

asking the Court modify its Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order to continue the trial date by one 

month and to continue the other pre-trial dates accordingly. Good cause exists to modify these 

portions of the Order for the following reasons: 

1. Trial is currently set for October 1, 2007. It will be a bench trial. 

2. Expert disclosures are currently due on July 3, 2007. The expert discovery cut-off 

is currently set for July 19, 2007. 

3. Allstate filed a motion for summary judgment on March 23, 2007. The motion 

originally was set to be heard on April 25, 2007. 

4. Counsel for plaintiff asked to continue the summary judgment hearing until May 9, 

2007, and Allstate’s counsel obliged.

5. By minute order dated May 4, 2007, the Court, on its own motion, continued the 

summary judgment hearing to May 16, 2007. 

6. On May 14, 2007, the Court, on its own motion, issued a minute order continuing 

the summary judgment hearing date to July 25, 2007. 

7. In these circumstances, good cause exists for a brief trial continuance, so the parties 

can pursue expert discovery in a efficient manner and avoid needless expense and burden to the 

Court. Under the current Scheduling Order, the parties would need to exchange expert witness 

information and complete expert discovery (including expert discovery motions, if necessary) 

before knowing how the Court will rule on Allstate’s summary judgment motion. Also, under 

the current Scheduling Order, if the Court were to deny Allstate’s motion, or grant only partial 

summary judgment, the parties would have to file their Pre-Trial Statements on August 10, 

2007, only 16 days after the motion hearing. As a result, the parties would have insufficient 

time to adequately analyze the impact of the Court’s ruling on their trial strategy and the issues 

encompassed by the Pre-Trial Statements. 

8. Plaintiff and Allstate agree that the schedule should be modified as follows: 

Summary Judgment Hearing (unchanged): July 25, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. 

Expert Disclosures: August 24, 2007 

Expert Discovery Cut-Off: September 14, 2007 

Last Day to File Pre-Trial Statement: October 5, 2007 

Final Pre-Trial Conference: October 12, 2007 at 3:00 p.m. 

Trial: November 5, 2007 at 8:30 a.m. 

Dated: May ___, 2007 SCHWARZKOPF & ALLIN
