STIPULATED REQUEST TO AMEND CASE 

SCHEDULING ORDER; ORDER -1- 

87189913.1 0028954-00087 

STIPULATED REQUEST 

Plaintiff Darla A. Williams (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Knowledge Universe Education, 

LLC (“Defendant”) (Plaintiff and Defendant will be referred to as the “Parties”) respectfully 

submit the following stipulated request to amend the Court’s Case Scheduling Order. ECF No. 

10. As set forth below, this request is being made to permit the Parties additional time to 

participate in a mediation in an attempt to informally resolve this matter. 

On November 25, 2015, the Court issued a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order. ECF No. 

10. This Order established the following deadlines: 

 Discovery Deadline: August 26, 2016 

 Designation of Expert Witnesses: September 26, 2016 

 Hearing on Dispositive Motions: December 16, 2016 

 Final Pretrial Conference: April 21, 2017 

 Jury Trial: June 5, 2017. 

On June 23, 2016, Plaintiff noticed the deposition of Defendant’s Person Most 

Knowledgeable, along with several of Defendant’s current employees, to occur during the week 

of July 25, 2016. The Parties subsequently agreed to postpone these depositions in order to 

participate in a mediation in an attempt to informally resolve this matter. The Parties have 

contacted their mediator of choice - Cynthia Remmers - and have scheduled a mediation for 

September 8, 2016. In order to preserve resources and limit litigation costs, the Parties request 

that the discovery deadline, expert witness designation deadline, and the hearing on dispositive 

motions be continued for approximately 60-days so that the Parties can further continue the 

majority of these depositions until after the mediation. The Parties are not requesting a 

continuance of the trial date. 

For these reasons, the Parties submit this joint stipulation to amend the Scheduling Order 

as follows: 

Event Original Date Proposed New Date 

Discovery Deadline August 26, 2016 October 25, 2016
