Case No. 1:05-CV-0874-LJO SMS 

JOINT STIPULATION TO CONTINUE 

PRE-TRIAL DATES AND TRIAL DATE 

AND ORDER 

Pursuant to Eastern District Local Rule 83-143, Defendant ALLSTATE LIFE 

INSURANCE COMPANY (“Allstate”) and Plaintiffs HARRY M. REYNOLDS and REBECCA 

J. REYNOLDS (“Plaintiffs”) respectfully submit this joint stipulation and request that this Court 

continue the pre-trial deadlines and trial date. 

Good cause exists to continue the pre-trial deadlines and trial date because Plaintiff 

Rebecca Reynolds has recently experienced health problems and cannot schedule depositions 

until February. Thus, the parties need additional time to complete depositions as the deadline is 

fast approaching. In addition, the parties desire to resolve this matter informally and are working 

diligently to informally settle this case. The parties stipulate to continue the pre-trial deadlines 

Case 1:05-cv-00874-LJO -SMS Document 57 Filed 01/15/08 Page 1 of 3
and trial date so they may conduct necessary depositions, possibly settle the case, and not expend 

further resources until necessary. 

Based on the court’s scheduling order, the parties agree and stipulate to continue all dates 

as follows, or to dates convenient to this court: 

Nonexpert Discovery Cutoff: January 18, 2008 to March 21, 2008 

Expert Discovery Cutoff: February 22, 2008 to April 18, 2008 

Pretrial Motion Filing Deadline: March 5, 2008 to May 7, 2008 

Settlement Conference: None scheduled at this time. 

Pretrial Conference: April 30, 2008 to June 25, 2008 at 8:30 a.m. 

Court Trial: June 9, 2008 to August 6, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
