CASE NO: 2:06-CV-0489-RRB-KJM

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

CONTINUE TRIAL DATE AND 

DISCOVERY CUT-OFF

This case involves allegations by Plaintiff that she was wrongfully jailed in the Butte County 

Jail in March 2004, and was injured as a result of negligent medical treatment while in the jail. There 

are voluminous medical records, Plaintiff alleged injuries are made more complicated by similar 

preexisting injuries that are the subject of another lawsuit, and discovery has been slowed by 

difficulty in obtaining Plaintiff’s complete medical records. The parties previously requested an 

extension of the discovery deadlines in July 2007, and the Court signed a Stipulated Order extending 

the discovery deadlines on July 20, 2007. However, because of the past delays in obtaining records,

the parties have been unable to complete discovery in accordance with the modified scheduling 

order. 

Plaintiff’s deposition was completed on October 26, 2007. and on that date the parties 

agreed to extend expert discovery deadlines by several weeks to allow the parties to meet and 

confer on a global extension of discovery deadlines and a continuance of the trial date. The Court 

signed the Stipulated Order on October 29, 2007. The parties have verbally agreed to extend the 

expert disclosures by one more week in order to seek the Court’s approval of this stipulation and 

order. 

Trial is currently set to commence on May 5, 2008, and the discovery cut-off is January 9, 

2008. The parties agree that they cannot complete their discovery by January 9, 2008, and in 

addition to general discovery, additional time is still needed to allow the parties’ experts to fully 

review the documents. The parties therefore request a 6-month continuance of the trial date, and 

an extension of all other trial related dates in accordance with a new trial date. 

Depending on the Court’s concurrence and availability, and based on the above facts, IT 

IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, by and through their respective 

counsel of record, and hereby ORDERED by the Court that trial is continued and the following 

schedule is ordered: 

Expert Witness Disclosure: March 14, 2008 

Expert Witness Rebuttals: March 28, 2008 

Discovery Completion Date: June 20, 2008 

Last Date to Hear Dispositive Motions: August 15, 2008 

Joint Pretrial Statements: October 3, 2008 

Final Pretrial Conference: October 10, 2008 3:00 p.m. 

Trial: November 17, 2008 8:30 a.m. 

Dated: November 27, 2007 By: ___________________________
