Pursuant to Local Rule 143, the Parties hereto, by and through their respective counsel, stipulate 

to, and request an order, continue the trial date in this matter, as well as all pretrial deadlines by 90 days. 

This Stipulation and [Proposed] Order is based on the need for additional time to conduct discovery and 

file pretrial motions before trial. 

On November 25, 2013, the parties attended a mediation session with retired Judge Raul 

Ramirez. Unfortunately, the mediation session was unsuccessful and the case did not settle. Thereafter, 

on December 3, 2013, the parties filed a Stipulation and Proposed Order seeking additional time to 

conduct discovery and continuing pretrial deadlines and trial. On December 11, 2013, the court issued a 

Minute Order amending the scheduling dates. Since that time, the parties have been diligently working 

on discovery, including exchanging expert witness information. However, the parties agree that they 

need additional time to conduct further discovery and prepare pretrial motions. The current Scheduling 

Order does not allow for a further continuance of those deadlines without imposing on the current trial 

date. For these reasons, the parties hereby stipulate to continue the current trial date and all pretrial 

dates to allow sufficient time to prepare the case

The parties jointly propose continuing the following deadlines as set forth below:

 Discovery closes: current deadline of July 25, 2014.

Proposed new deadline: October 24, 2014.

 Last day for hearing dispositive motions: current deadline of September 8, 2014.

Proposed new deadline: December 8, 2014.

 Pretrial Conference: currently scheduled for November 10, 2014.

Proposed new date: February 9, 2015

 Trial: current start on February 3, 2015

Proposed new date: May 11, 2015

 WHEREAS, this request is not being made of the purposes of delay, or any other improper 

purpose;

WHEREAS, continuing the trial date and all pretrial deadlines by approximately 90 days will 

not prejudice any party or their counsel; and
