Higgins Testamentary Trust and commonly known as the Jane Higgins Nash Trust; as well as 

Defendant City of Visalia (collectively “Parties”).

The Parties hereby stipulate to extend the expert discovery cut-off date, currently scheduled 

for September 23, 2016, to October 5, 2016. All other deadlines shall remain the same. 

The Parties respectfully request that the Court grant this short extension of the close of expert 

discovery set forth in the Court’s Scheduling Order, and the stipulated orders on certain expert 

deadlines [Documents 320, 374, 398, and 423] to consolidate the deadlines in this case with those in 

the Mission Linen Case1. All but one of the remaining parties are counsel in both the Coppola and 

Mission Linen cases, which have similar factual and technical issues. Good cause exists because 

counsel in the Mission Linen case were required to meet and confer on deadlines because trial was 

recently re-set per the Court’s calendar and the parties have reached the same agreement and wish to 

combine the depositions of overlapping experts in the interest of conserving resources. No other 

deadlines will be affected or modified as a result of this stipulation.
