family wedding which starts on June 10, 2010. Counsel for Calabrian attempted to send 

another attorney from its office, who would be familiar with the facts of this case and 

prepared to participate in the settlement conference. However, the insurance carrier for 

Calabrian has specifically requested Mr. Burrows attend the settlement conference since 

he is the individual who is most knowledgeable of the facts of this case. 

4. The parties are also in the process of scheduling a private mediation in this 

case in San Diego in June or July, 2010. Counsel for both parties are located in San 

Diego and the parties have engaged in some preliminary settlement discussions. The 

parties agree that they would like to exhaust voluntary mediation efforts prior to flying to 

Sacramento to conduct a settlement conference before the court. 

5. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate and agree to continue the 

settlement conference and respectfully request that the court continue the settlement 

conference sixty (60) days or until a date thereafter that is convenient for the court. 

6. Furthermore, the court has set the discovery cut-off in this case for June 4, 

2010, the expert disclosure deadline for August 4, 2010, the supplemental expert 

disclosure deadline for August 24, 2010, and the deadline to file motions in this case for 

October 7, 2010. In light of the fact that the parties are pursuing voluntary mediation in 

this case, and the fact that the trial date in this case has already been continued to April 

2, 2012, the parties further agree that the discovery and motion cut-off dates should be 

continued for a period of at least six (6) months to allow the parties to complete mediation 

prior to engaging in further depositions, written discovery, and/or the designation of 

experts.
