set by the Court’s November 20, 2007 Order. 

The Parties have engaged in extensive discovery, participated in mediation, and

completed a related administrative hearing before the California State Personnel board. Issues

have arisen in the mediation and administrative hearing that necessitate further discovery. The

Parties therefore seek to extend the current pre-trial deadlines so that they may complete

discovery. The Parties request that the dates be extended to coincide with the dates in the related

case of Wartluft v. Feather River Community College District, Action No. 2:07-cv-2023

FCD/GGH.

Federal rule of Civil Procedure 16(b) provides that a pre-trial order may be modified,

“upon a showing of good cause.” This Court may modify a pre-trial scheduling order if “it

cannot reasonably be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.” Johnson v.

Mammoth Recreations, Inc.., 975 F.2d. 604, 609 (9th Civ. 1992) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 16,

advisory committee’s notes (1983 amendment)). The “good cause” inquiry focuses primarily on

the “diligence of the party seeking the amendment.” Id.

Here, the Parties have diligently participated in discovery, but are unable to meet the

scheduling deadlines due to the complex nature of this case. Therefore, good cause exists for an

extension of the pre-trial deadlines in this matter.

The Parties stipulate to the following proposed pre-trial dates and trial date:

Discovery Closes: August 15, 2008

Expert Disclosures Due: August 29, 2008

Supplemental Expert Disclosures Due: September 18, 2008

Expert Discovery Cutoff: October 16, 2008

Dispositive Motion Deadline: December 19, 2008

The Final Pre-Trial Conference date; the date for filing the Joint Pre-Trial statement; and

the date set for the Jury Trial will remain unchanged.

The Parties stipulate only to continue the aforementioned deadlines, leaving the original

November 20, 2007 Order otherwise in tact.

The Parties further stipulate to consider this matter submitted on this Motion pursuant to

Case 2:06-cv-02687-KJM-GGH Document 28 Filed 04/22/08 Page 2 of 3

ORDER

Upon review of the request/stipulation above and of the docket the court shall GRANT in

part the parties’ request. Although, the parties have attempted to submit a stipulation that would

leave the final pretrial conference and the jury trial dates as set, the court cannot accommodate

that part of the request. Therefore, the court HEREBY SETS the following revised schedule:

The discovery deadline: July 18, 2008; 

Designation of expert witnesses: August 29, 2008;

Supplemental rebuttal designations: September 18, 2008; 

Expert discovery closes: October 16, 2008; 

All dispositive motions shall be heard no later than: December 19, 2008;

The final pretrial conference is set for March 6, 2009 at 2:00 p.m.; and

The jury trial is set for May 12, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. 

The court notes for the record that this is the third request/stipulation filed by the parties

and the request/stipulation was submitted after the expiration of the discovery and designation of

expert deadlines. Accordingly, the court shall not allow any further extensions absent a properly

filed motion pursuant to the Court’s Pretrial Scheduling Order and the District’s local rules. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: April 22, 2008
