the fact discovery cutoff for August 18, 2016 [ECF Docket No. 11]; 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that additional time is required to complete

attorney in two cases – Delmanowski v. Gordon, Sonoma County Superior Court

STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY CUTOFF 

Case No. SCV254939, and County of Calaveras v. Thornton, El Dorado County 

Superior Court Case No. SC20150086. The Delmanowski matter had an original 

trial date of March 11, 2016, which was then continued to April 22, 2016. In 

addition to preparing for the trial in the Delmanowski case, Mr. Perrott had a trial 

date of March 21, 2016, in the County of Calaveras case, which was vacated by 

the court to accommodate Mr. Perrott’s trial in the Delmanowski case and 

continued to August 8, 2016. Thus, Mr. Perrott has been continuously preparing 

for trial since February of 2016 and he will begin a minimum 10-day jury trial in 

the County of Calaveras case on August 8, 2016. 

 Mr. Perrott is or has been the lead attorney in the present case and numerous 

related cases involving related subject matter including: (1) Comerica v. Curtis 

A. Westwood, Sacramento County Superior Court Case No. 34-2009-00037023; 

(2) Westwood Homes, Inc. v. Comerica Bank, Sacramento County Superior 

Court Case No. 34-2010-00073815; (3) Westwood Montserrat, Ltd. v. AGK 

Sierra De Montserrat L.P., Placer County Superior Court Case No. 

SCV0028027; (4) Wildlife Heritage Foundation v. Comerica Bank, Placer 

County Superior Court Case No. SCV0028106; (5) Comerica Bank v. Westwood 

Homes, Inc., Sacramento County Superior Court Case No. 34-2012-00124602; 

and (6) Westwood Montserrat, Ltd. v. Comerica Bank, Placer County Superior 

Court Case No. SCV0034161. Due to Mr. Perrot’s intimate knowledge of the 

underlying facts, his significant participation during the depositions of the key 

percipient and expert witnesses in the present case is essential for the effective 

and cost-efficient representation of Comerica. 

 The parties have been working diligently to complete discovery. Among other 

things, Comerica recently subpoenaed voluminous records from third-party 

witness First American Title Insurance Company. 

WHEREAS, a 60-day extension of the fact discovery cutoff will not require the 

modification of the trial date or any other date set in the Scheduling Order;
