 The parties, by and through their respective counsels of record, hereby agree and 

stipulate as follows: 

1. On March 6, 2007, the parties appeared before the Court for the Scheduling 

Conference. 

2. Following the scheduling conference, the Court issued a scheduling order 

setting the following deadlines: 

 a. Non Expert Discovery Cut-off: January 11, 2008 

 b. Expert Discovery Cut-off: April 18, 2008 

 c. Non-Dispositive Motion Filing Cut-off: April 23, 2008 

 d. Non Dispositive Motion Hearing Cut-off: May 16, 2008 

 e. Dispositive Motion Filing Deadline: May 23, 2008 

 f. Dispositive Motion Hearing Deadline: June 23, 2008 

 g. Pre-Trial Conference: August 15, 2008 

 h. Trial September 30, 2008 

3. The parties have complied with initial disclosure requirements, with the 

exception of confidential materials. The parties are currently working to complete an 

acceptable Protective Order to which the parties can stipulate. 

4. The parties are also currently attempting to schedule a mediation before 

JAMS Mediator Judge Peter Stone (Ret.) for early February. 

5. Notwithstanding the foregoing efforts, as a result of Plaintiff’s counsel’s trial 

schedule, as well as scheduling difficulties occasioned by the holiday season, the parties 

face significant difficulties in meeting the above-listed discovery completion dates. 

Specifically, Plaintiff’s counsel is scheduled to begin a 6-week trial in Lowry v. Johnson 

Marine Supplies, Inc., Case No. RCV085122, in Department R-4 of the Superior Court 

for the State of California, County of San Bernardino. Immediately thereafter, Plaintiff’s 

counsel is scheduled to begin a four to six week trial in Pena v. Hyundai Motor Corp., 

Case No. INC037149, in Department 2G of the Superior Court of the State California, 

County of Riverside, which is set to commence on December 31, 2007.

6. Wherefore, the parties stipulate and request that the Court continue all 

discovery and non-dispositive motion cut-off dates for 60 days, and to continue the 

deadlines for dispositive motions for 45, or such other greater period of time as is 

convenient for the Court. 

7. This requested continuance will allow the parties to meet all discovery and 

motion dates and still comply with the original Pre-Trial Conference and Trial dates set 

by the Court in its initial Scheduling Order. 

8. Pursuant to this stipulation and contingent upon the approval of the Court, 

the following deadlines would apply to this action: 

 a. Non Expert Discovery Cut-off: March 11, 2008 

 b. Expert Discovery Cut-off: June 17, 2008 

 c. Non-Dispositive Motion Filing Cut-off: June 23, 2008 

 d. Non Dispositive Motion Hearing Cut-off: July 15, 2008 

 e. Dispositive Motion Filing Deadline: July 22, 2008 

 f. Dispositive Motion Hearing Deadline: August 14, 2008 

 g. Pre-Trial Conference (unchanged): August 15, 2008 

 h. Trial (unchanged): September 30, 2008 

9. The parties further stipulate that Discovery Cut-Off dates are to be construed 

to require that discovery responses and/or notices must be served sufficiently early that 

responses are due on or before the cut-off date.
