CASE NO. 2:13-CV-01083-GEB-DAD

STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER 

FOR MODIFICATION OF PRETRIAL 

SCHEDULING ORDER CONCERNING 

DISCOVERY DEADLINE 

Complaint filed: May 31, 2013

THE PARTIES, BY AND THROUGH THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD, HEREBY 

STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:

1. The parties participated in private mediation before Hon. Ronald Sabraw 

(Alameda County Superior Court, Ret.) with JAMS, on January 6, 2015.

2. Prior to the mediation, the parties diligently engaged in discovery as part of their 

trial preparation efforts.

3. After being unable to resolve this matter via mediation, the parties have continued 

their discovery efforts.

4. The continuation of deposition has been hampered by the trial commitments of 

counsel for the parties. Defense counsel is set for trial on February 23, 2015, in the matter 

Cerbone v. Roman Catholic Bishop of Sacramento, Sacramento Superior Court, Case No. 34-

2013-00140297-CU-WT-GDS, which is expected to last three weeks. Plaintiff’s counsel has 

been involved in the Patterson v. Abundance trial, San Joaquin Superior Court Case No.: 39-

2011-00274426-CV-WT-STK which is expected to last through at least March 6, 2015, and 

possibly longer.

5. In light of their litigation commitments, the parties are in agreement that a modest 

extension of the discovery cutoff in this matter will foster and facilitate their continued efforts to 

prepare this matter for trial. 

6. The parties therefore join in a request that the court modify its scheduling order 

for this matter to move the discovery cutoff, currently set for March 11, 2015, to April 30, 2015.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
