Pursuant to Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiff and Relator Matthew Zugsberger 

(“Plaintiff”), Defendants Galindo Construction Company, Inc., Lisa M. Galindo and 

Don Ron Galindo (“Galindo Defendants”) and Defendant T.L. Peterson (“Peterson”) 

(collectively, “the parties”) hereby stipulate, agree, and request that the ADR 

completion deadline currently set for July 24, 2018 (Docket No. 82, pg. 8) be continued 

until the later of the following dates: (1) November 9, 2018 or (2) a date after a 

decision is entered on Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment (Docket No. 

65) which is currently set for hearing on September 20, 2018 at 1:30p.m. 

There is good cause for this stipulation and request. The parties currently have a 

full-day mediation scheduled on September 6, 2018 with Margaret A. Corrigan, Esq., 

Circuit Mediator, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The parties, however, 

wish to engage in mediation following a decision on Plaintiff’s Motion for Partial 

Summary Judgment and following further discovery. The parties believe that mediation 

on such a later date will present a better chance at being productive and resolving this 

case. Ms. Corrigan has also been notified of the parties’ intent to mediate on a later 

date and is amenable to continuing the mediation date accordingly.
