STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER FOR RELIEF 

FROM SCHEDULING ORDER; CASE NO. 5:06-CV04529 

By signatures of their counsel to this Stipulation, the parties to this action stipulate that the 

deadlines set forth in this Court’s November 22, 2006 Scheduling Order may be continued as set 

forth in the schedule below. 

 The parties desire to continue the dates set forth in the Scheduling Order for the following 

reasons: 

 1. At the time of entry of the Scheduling Order, the Court had previously ordered, 

pursuant to stipulation of the parties, that a mediation must be completed by February 12, 2007. 

However, after the Court’s November 14, 2006 Order referring the parties to the Court’s 

mediation program pursuant to ADR L.R. 6, the ADR Program did not contact counsel to begin 

the mediation process. On January 11, 2007, counsel for Plaintiff contacted the ADR Program to 

inquire as to the status of appointment of a mediator in this matter. The parties subsequently 

learned that the ADR Program did not receive the automatic referral and that no mediators were 

available to mediate this matter on or before the February 12, 2007 deadline. Accordingly, the 

parties are now scheduled to conduct the mediation on March 20, 2007. Counsel for all parties 

desire to devote their time, energies, and resources to trying to resolve this matter, rather than 

expend resources conducting tasks necessary to comply with the rapidly approaching deadlines 

(including discovery, expert witness, and dispositive motion deadlines) set forth in the Court’s 

November 22, 2006 Scheduling Order. 

 2. Additionally, on February 15, 2007, after the entry of the Scheduling Order, 

Plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint, in which a new party, Renn Transportation, Inc., was 

added as a Defendant. The Defendants have yet to respond to the Third Amended Complaint, 

which pursuant to the Court’s February 15, 2007 Order is not due until April 2, 2007. 

 2. This Stipulation and Proposed Order is not interposed for purposes of delay but in 

the interests of justice and the resolution of the controversies herein. 

Case Schedule

 3. Counsel for all parties have conferred with respect to these matters, and all parties 

agree to the following Case Schedule:
