AVOLVE SOFTWARE CORPORATION,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 2:14-cv-01217-MCE-CKD

STIPULATED REQUEST AND ORDER 

TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE TO 

COMPLETE DISCOVERY AND EXTEND 

THE DATE FOR EXPERT DISCLOSURES 

Plaintiff Randall Scheideman (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Avolve Software Corporation

(“Defendant”) (collectively “the Parties”) hereby jointly stipulate and seek leave pursuant to Rule 

16(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure to extend the discovery deadlines set forth in the 

Pretrial Scheduling Order (Dkt. 17) (hereinafter the “Scheduling Order”) for good cause as set 

forth herein.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED:

WHEREAS, all discovery, with the exception of expert discovery, currently must be

DATE FOR EXPERT DISCLOSURES

completed by August 13, 2015 and the Parties wish to extend the time to complete non-expert 

discovery until October 30, 2015;

WHEREAS, the last day for expert disclosures is currently October 13, 2015 and the 

Parties wish to extend the date until November 30, 2015;

WHEREAS, to date, Defendant has propounded and Plaintiff has responded to written 

discovery; however, neither Party has taken any depositions;

WHEREAS, the Parties are currently engaged in good faith settlement discussions and are 

considering private mediation of the matter. The Parties have determined and agreed that it 

would be economically feasible to postpone conducting additional discovery until after settlement 

discussions as it may make the discovery unnecessary. As such, the parties seek to extend the 

dates for completion of discovery and disclosure of expert witnesses;

WHEREAS, in the event settlement discussions or private mediation are unsuccessful, the 

Parties will require this limited extension of time to complete all discovery, and this extension 

will not affect any other dates set forth in the Scheduling Order;

WHEREAS, the Parties have not made any previous requests to extend any discovery 

deadline in this action;

WHEREAS, in light of the foregoing, and for good cause shown, the parties respectfully 

request that the Court modify the existing Scheduling Order as agreed by the Parties and as set 

forth herein. The Parties are and have been working diligently to move this case toward private 

mediation and, if unsuccessful, toward trial. Entering this Order will permit the parties to focus 

on mediation and potentially resolving this case without a trial. This extension does not affect the 

dates related to dispositive motions, the pretrial conference date, or the trial date, although those 

dates are included below for sake of context. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the Parties 

through their undersigned counsel of record that:
