Case No. 1:08-cv-01539-LJO-GSA

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

CONTINUE MANDATORY 

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE 

Magistrate Judge Gary S. Austin 

Pursuant to Local Rules 16-270 and 83-143 of the United States District Court, Eastern 

District of California, and this Court’s Order of February 18, 2009, counsel for the parties herein 

have met and conferred and stipulate that they do not believe that the case is in a position to 

facilitate meaningful settlement discussions. The parties are continuing to engage in discovery, 

including additional depositions which must be scheduled to take place in Wisconsin and 

Massachusetts. The nonexpert discovery cut-off has been continued to June 7, 2010. In addition, 

expert witness disclosures have been continued to June 11, 2010, the expert discovery cutoff 

continued to July 16, 2010, and the pretrial motion hearing deadline continued to August 4, 2010. 

The parties do not anticipate being in a position to engage in a settlement conference, if at all, 

until discovery, including expert witness discovery, has closed, and any pretrial motions that may 

be filed have been heard and decided.
