Defendants COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF 

MECHANICS BANK; MECHANICS BANK SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT 

PLAN and MECHANICS BANK (collectively, “Defendants”) and Plaintiff Steven K. Buster 

(“Plaintiff”) (together hereafter the “Parties”) hereby stipulate and agree, by and through their 

respective counsel, to extend the time for the Parties to conduct the court-ordered depositions of 

Plaintiff Steven Buster and Dianne Felton of Mechanics Bank, to now take place on July 6, 2016.

WHEREAS, on June 9, 2016, the Court ordered that one-hour depositions of Plaintiff 

Steven Buster and Dianne Felton shall be taken on or before June 30, 2016, and specifically to take 

place on June 27, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. at the offices of Plaintiff’s counsel, Louderback Law Group, 

located at 44 Montgomery Street, Suite 2970, San Francisco, California 94104. (Docket #41.) 

WHEREAS, good cause exists to extend the time to take the depositions of Plaintiff Steven 

Buster and Dianne Felton by reason of the fact that Dianne Felton is largely unavailable during the 

entire month of June. To accommodate their respective schedules, and at the same time proceed 

with the depositions at the earliest possible date, the Parties have agreed to proceed with the onehour depositions of Plaintiff Steven Buster and Dianne Felton on July 6, 2016 at 9:00 a.m. at the 

offices of Plaintiff’s counsel, Louderback Law Group, located at 44 Montgomery Street, Suite 2970,

San Francisco, California 94104.

The Parties have not requested any prior extensions of time to conduct the depositions of 

Plaintiff Steven Buster or Dianne Felton. Prior time modifications in this case, whether by 

stipulation or Court order, include: (1) Defendants previously obtained a thirty (30) day extension of 

time, from April 6, 2016 to May 6, 2016, to respond to the original Complaint in this matter, by 

stipulation; (2) the Court issued an Order Extending Deadlines for Response and Reply Papers re 

Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss on May 18, 2016 (Docket #28); and (3) the Court issued an Order 

Extending Time for Defendants to Respond to Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint on June 9, 2016 

(Docket #39). The proposed order extending the time to conduct said depositions to July 6, 2016

will not alter the date of any event or any deadline already fixed by Court order in this matter. This 

Stipulation is made and entered into pursuant to Local Rules 6-1(b) and 6-2(a).
