CASE NO. 1:16-cv-00833-AWI-MJS

SECOND STIPULATION AND 

PROPOSED ORDER TO EXTEND TIME 

FOR ALL DEFENDANTS TO RESPOND 

TO THE COMPLAINT; STIPULATION 

TO CONTINUE DATE FOR 

MANDATORY SCHEDULING 

CONFERENCE TO AFFORD THE 

PARTIES AN OPPORTUNITY TO 

FULLY EXPLORE SETTLEMENT 

 WHEREAS: 

1. Plaintiff RACHEL LOBATO (“Plaintiff”) filed her complaint in this action on June 16, 

2016. 

2. This is the second request for an extension of time for AMRIK BHANDAL and 

BHANDAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION dba BIG B’S TRAVEL CENTER (“Defendants”). 

A previous extension of time was granted by Plaintiff within the statutory allowance; thus, court 

approval is required for a further extension of time. 

3. Plaintiff and Defendants are in settlement negotiations at this time, and a CASp report has 

been received this week. Time is needed to review the report and finalize a settlement. The parties 

are hopeful a settlement can now be reached if an extension of time is granted to respond and the 

mandatory scheduling conference presently set for September 22, 2016 is continued. 

4. The parties agree that settlement of this case would save valuable court time and resources.
