STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

CONTINUE DEADLINE TO COMPLETE 

MEDIATION AND DISCOVERY 

DEADLINES

THE PARTIES, BY AND THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS OF 

RECORD, AGREE AND STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS: 

The Court scheduled a mediation completion deadline of June 19, 2020. Due to the 

transfer of handling attorneys, unavailability because of trial, and other scheduling issues, the 

parties are unable to complete mediation and necessary depositions prior to the currently 

scheduled deadlines. Additionally, the parties agree that there are additional depositions that must 

be taken prior to mediating the case. Also, Plaintiffs’ attorney is scheduled for a three to four 

week criminal trial and will not be able to complete the mediation within the ninety days 

originally agreed upon by the parties. 

Thus, the parties respectfully request the Court extend the mediation completion deadline 

again for an additional one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of this stipulation and
