WHEREAS, the current discovery deadline for this matter is August 1, 2016; 

WHEREAS, the current expert disclosure deadline for this matter is September 9, 2016;

WHEREAS, the current dispositive motion deadline for this matter is November 15, 

2016; 

WHEREAS, the current trial date for this matter is May 16, 2017;

WHEREAS, the parties have completed substantial discovery, and have noticed the 

depositions of their respective corporate representatives [Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses] and several 

others, which will be costly in part due to travel time and expense, and also require the time off 

work for witnesses;

WHEREAS, the parties participated in a settlement conference on June 20, 2016 before 

Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to mediate the case on August 2, 2016, in Fresno, 

California, before Bruce A. Friedman, Esq. of JAMS;

WHEREAS, the parties desire a short hiatus from taking depositions to determine if the 

matter can be resolved by mediation, and therefore agree to extend the discovery deadlines as 

requested herein for discovery already served or noticed, reserving rights to seek leave of court 

for additional, follow up discovery if needed.

WHEREAS, the parties believe that the requested extension of these deadlines will not 

affect the current trial date or other pretrial dates that have been scheduled, including the pretrial conference and dispositive motion deadlines;

WHEREAS, in the interest of cost and time savings and judicial economy, the parties 

agree to continue the discovery deadline to September 15, 2016, and the expert disclosure 

deadline to October 3, 2016, in order to allow them sufficient time to complete mediation for 

the above-captioned action.
