Case No. C 05-03577 JF

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO

EXTEND DISCOVERY CUT-OFF

(For Judge Fogel’s review and signature)

The Parties hereto, through their respective counsel, acknowledge that due to the

complexity of the instant case and the issues raised herein, including claims of excessive

force and products liability claims alleging design defects, they need additional time to

complete discovery beyond the discovery cut-off date which was originally set by the Court

for December 29, 2006.

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DISCOVERY CUT-OFF

N.D. Cal. Case No. CV-05-3577-JF

- 2 -

The instant case involves five separate police agencies. A sixth police agency

conducted the investigation of the subject incident. Seven separate law firms have been

involved in the litigation of this case thus far. All the Parties, through their counsel, have

acted diligently in conducting discovery by propounding voluminous written discovery

requests, subpoenaing records and taking a large number of depositions including that of

the plaintiff, Robert Rosa, many of the police officer defendants, civilian witnesses, and

medical doctors concerning the cause of decedent’s death. As a result of this voluminous

discovery, plaintiffs’ counsel has recently agreed to dismiss two of the police agencies and

two of the three remaining police agencies may be dismissed in the near future. However,

the progress of pursuing discovery has been slowed by the fact that seven different law firms

have been involved in the litigation. 

The parties are aware that the court has imposed a discovery cut-off of December

29, 2006. However, further written discovery and a large number of depositions still need

to be completed including the following: (1) plaintiffs Evelyn Rosa, Tammy Hike,

individually and as Guardian ad Litem for H.R.; (2) additional police officers, investigators,

administrators and experts of the City of Seaside, City of Monterey, and County of

Monterey; and (3) executives, researchers, technicians and other employees of defendant

TASER International, Inc. The Parties agree that these depositions are essential to a fair

hearing of this case. Therefore:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and through undersigned counsel, that the

discovery cut-off of December 29, 2006 shall be extended for ninety (90) days until March

30, 2007.
