Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Continuing Discovery Completion & Other Deadlines (2:09-CV-00031-MCE-GGH) 

minute order left unchanged the deadlines for completion of discovery; disclosure of expert 

witnesses; and motion hearing schedule. 

WHEREAS, while the parties have diligently been prosecuting this action, counsel submit 

that, in addition to the Court’s continuance of the trial and other dates and deadlines, the two 

following developments, one each involving the respective counsel, make it appropriate to 

continue the deadlines for completion of discovery; disclosure of expert witnesses; and motion 

hearing schedule. 

A. Plaintiff’s lead counsel was unexpectedly admitted to intensive care on 

December 6, 2009, and was unable to return to work until January 19, 2010, a period in excess of 

six weeks; and 

B. Defendants’ counsel completed a trial in state court in Florida in July 2009. 

While the trial judge issued an oral ruling from the bench, a few weeks later and before the 

judgment was reduced to writing, the judge unexpectedly passed away. The matter will have to 

be retried and counsel is involved again preparing for that trial, which endeavor and a second trial 

were totally unexpected. 

WHEREAS, the parties do not believe there will be any inconvenience to the Court or 

further delay of the action as a result of the continuances sought by this stipulation, considering 

that the trial and other dates and deadlines have already been continued. 

THEREFORE, all parties through their respective counsel stipulate as follows: 

1. that the deadline for completion of discovery with the exception of expert 

discovery, shall be continued to January 24, 2011; 

2. that the deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses shall be continued to March 

22, 2011; and 

3. that the motion hearing schedule deadline shall be continued to August 25, 

2011.
