ORDER GRANTING AS MODIFIED

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE CASE

MANAGEMENT ORDER DATES [FRCP

16(b)] 

The parties, through their respective counsel and pursuant to FRCP 16(b) and

Local Rule 16-2(d), hereby stipulate and apply to the court to continue the case-dispositive

motion, expert disclosure, and expert discovery cut-off dates established by the Court’s Case

Management Order of October 4, 2005. 

Subject to the approval of the Court in the Order proposed below, the parties

stipulate to continue the case-dispositive motion cut-off date from Friday, April 21, 2006 to and

including Friday, August 18, 2006. The parties also stipulate to continuing the expert disclosure

cut-off date from June 23, 2006 to and including Friday, October 23, 2006, and the expert

discovery cut-off date from July 28, 2006 to and including Friday, November 24, 2006. 

Without the extension of the dispositive motion cut-off date, the parties will be

effectively precluded from filing such motions and aiding the Court in the possible disposition of

this matter. The parties request the continuance of the expert disclosure and expert discovery cutoff dates until after the dispositive motion cut-off date so as to avoid any potentially unnecessary

expert-related fees and costs. The parties do not request a continuance of the fact discovery cutoff, pre-trial conference, or trial dates. 

Good cause exists for the requested modifications. The parties did not anticipate

at the time of the Scheduling Conference that Plaintiff, a Washington state resident, would begin

new employment; this new employment has complicated the scheduling of his deposition and the

mediation. Also unanticipated was that the Court would set a dispositive motion cut-off date

before the close of fact discovery. At the time of the Case Management Conference, both parties

anticipated having until their agreed-upon discovery cut-off date (June 16) in which to complete

the out-of-state percipient witness depositions that they need to draft and oppose dispositive

motions. Moreover, when the parties met and conferred in September 2005 and agreed upon

certain case management dates, they had assumed trial would be set for or near the date of their

agreement, in September 2006; they did not know that the Court would be unavailable for trial

until February 2007. Finally, under the current Case Management Order, the parties would have

to file their dispositive motions before the April 3, 2006 mediation, which would significantly

undermine settlement negotiations.

No parties will be prejudiced by this continuance. All have agreed to it. This is

the first such request for a continuance and is timely made.
