Plaintiff Joe Esmond (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Cargill, Inc., (“Cargill”) by and through

their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate that the date for cutoff of fact discovery set in the

Court’s Pretrial Preparation Order be extended from August 15, 2008 as follows:

(1) Through August 19, 2009, for the purpose of Plaintiff taking the deposition of Aileen

Fox, Cargill’s designated person most knowledgeable witness on two subjects; and 

(2) Through August 21, 2009, for the purpose of Cargill taking the deposition of Plaintiff. 

The parties further stipulate that this stipulation does not extend the fact discovery cutoff date

for any other discovery. Additionally, because these stipulated dates coincide with the deadline for

filing any motion to compel set by Local Rule 26-2, the parties also stipulate to extend the deadline

for filing any motion to compel concerning the above depositions only until seven court days after the

dates set forth above, respectively.

Counsel for the parties further stipulate that they have met and conferred in a good faith effort

to schedule these two depositions at dates mutually convenient for all counsel and parties before the

fact discovery cutoff date. Cargill’s counsel proposed dates for these depositions during the last two

weeks of July; however, counsel for Plaintiff is unavailable on those dates because of previously

scheduled travel on those dates through August 2, 2008. Alternatively, Plaintiff proposed dates in

early August; however, Cargill’s representatives are unable to attend the depositions between August

4 and 15, 2008 because of previously scheduled travel outside of the country. Accordingly, counsel

for the parties agreed on the first available mutually convenient dates as set forth above, which are in

the week immediately following the fact discovery cutoff date. 

Finally, counsel for the parties stipulate that there have been no previous time modifications

of discovery in this case by stipulation or court order. This stipulated time modification will not

effect any other aspects of the schedule in this case, as the Court’s deadline for expert discovery will
