JOINT STIPULATION TO CONTINUE DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF MEDIATION; 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint for Damages and Appeal from a 

Decision of the California Office of Administrative Hearings pursuant to the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. § 1415 et seq) (“First Amended Complaint”) on December 

15, 2006; 

WHEREAS, Defendant filed an answer to Plaintiff's First Amended Complaint on January

4, 2007

WHEREAS, a Case Management Conference was held in this matter on July 20, 2007;

WHEREAS, at the Case Management Conference, this Court ordered the Parties to 

complete a mediation through the Court’s Alternative Dispute Resolution program prior to 

September 7, 2007.

WHEREAS, on July 31, 2007, pursuant to ADR Local Rule 6-6, counsel for the Parties 

participated in a pre-mediation telephone conference with Daniel Bowling, the mediator assigned 

to this case ("Mediator").

WHEREAS, counsel for the Parties and the Mediator discussed the issues in the case, the 

parties’ current position, and whether a mediation prior to the trial setting conference set for 

September 7, 2007 would likely resolve any of the disputed issues between the Parties;

WHEREAS, counsel for the Parties agreed, and the Mediator concurred, that a mediation 

would likely be more productive after Plaintiff moved to supplement the administrative record at

issue in this case;

WHEREAS the Parties agreed, and the Mediator concurred, that mediation should take 

place after the Court’s decision on Plaintiff’s motion to supplement the administrative record is 

issued;

WHEREAS the Parties agreed to discuss the timing for the filing and hearing Plaintiff’s 

motion at the trial setting conference set for September 7, 2007. 

WHEREAS the Parties further agree to continue to discuss the dates and deadlines in the 

case management conference statement.
