Case No. C 05-4626 JSW ENE 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO 

CONDUCT EARLY NEUTRAL 

EVALUATION AND TO SCHEDULE 

CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and 16-10(c) and ADR L.R. 5-5, and for the reasons set forth 

in the accompanying Declaration of Counsel, plaintiff Kirk D. Williams and defendant Kiewit 

Pacific Company stipulate that the deadline for them to conduct an early neutral evaluation 

should be extended until May 31, 2006 and that the Court should schedule a case management 

conference for Friday, June 23, 2006, at 1:30 p.m., in the event that this case is not resolved 

before then. The parties further stipulate that: 

1. On February 10, 2006, this Court referred this case to ENE and ordered the parties 

to conduct the session within 60 days, if possible. Under ADR L.R. 5-4(b), the normal deadline

Stipulation and Order to Extend ENE Deadline and Schedule CMC / C 05-4626 JSW ENE 

for conducting such an evaluation is 90 days. An earlier deadline can impose hardships on the 

neutral and the parties to schedule and complete the pre-ENE session, prepare and review written 

ENE statements, and schedule and attend the ENE session, pursuant to ADR L.R. 5-7, 5-8, and 

5-10, in the time allowed. Furthermore, plaintiffs’ counsel just entered his appearance on 

February 28, 2006. Extending the deadline to conduct ENE by 21 days beyond the normal 

deadline would give him an opportunity to more meaningfully prepare for and participate in the 

session. 

2. In the event that the case is not resolved at ENE, scheduling a CMC in late June 

2006 would permit the parties to report what progress they have made since the initial CMC and 

what plans they have to complete discovery and to narrow legal and factual issues as a result of 

ENE. Furthermore, it would allow plaintiff’s counsel, who was not involved in the initial CMC, 

to present his views on case management issues. 

3. There have been no previous time modifications in this case. 

4. Neither extending the deadline to conduct ENE nor scheduling a CMC will effect 

the other events in the Court’s February 14, 2006 order scheduling trial and pre-trial matters.
