STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE DEADLINE FOR CONDUCTING MEDIATION 

complete mediation in this action shall be continued from June 29, 2006 until July 12, 2006. 

Pursuant to ADR Local Rule 6-4(b), the mediation shall be held within 90 days after 

the initial Case Management Conference or issuance of the initial case management order, 

whichever occurs first. The first of these events to occur in this action was the initial Case 

Management Conference, which was held on March 31, 2006. Accordingly, the current 

deadline to complete mediation is June 29, 2006. 

Good cause exists to continue the mediation completion deadline. The parties are 

presently conducting discovery they believe to be necessary to maximize the opportunity 

for settlement at the mediation, and do not believe that this discovery will be completed in 

time to participate in mediation by June 29, 2006. That discovery includes discovery 

regarding the medical records and possible depositions of Alexander Bonutti’s health care 

providers and employer, the deposition of Plaintiff, and the depositions of certain persons 

most knowledgeable of Defendant USAA Life. The parties agree that this discovery is 

necessary for them to most effectively participate in mediation. The parties’ counsel and 

the assigned Mediator have met and conferred, and all have agreed to a mediation date of 

July 12, 2006. 

The requested continuance will not alter the date of any other event or deadline 

already fixed by Court order. 

DATED: May 25, 2006.
