Stipulation and Proposed Order re: Extension of Discovery Deadline

Case No. C-05-00328 JSW -2-

WHEREAS, on August 24, 2006, the intervenor-defendants jointly noticed the

depositions of Bill Lockyer, Attorney General of the State of California, and Brenda Klutz,

Deputy Director of Licensing and Certification with the California Department of Health

Services, to take place on September 13, 2006;

WHEREAS, plaintiffs object to the notice of Mr. Lockyer’s deposition, and seek a

protective order quashing the intervenor-defendants’ notice;

WHEREAS, the plaintiffs and the intervenor-defendants submitted a joint letter brief to

Magistrate Judge James on September 5, 2006, setting forth their dispute concerning the

deposition of Mr. Lockyer, and seeking a resolution thereof; 

WHEREAS, because Magistrate Judge James has not yet ruled on this dispute, the parties

are in agreement that the date of Mr. Lockyer’s deposition (if any), now noticed for September

13, 2006, should be re-scheduled to October 4, 2006, to allow additional time for the Court to

rule on the plaintiffs’ request for a protective order;

WHEREAS, counsel for the United States and the Medical Groups are located in the

Washington, D.C., metropolitan area, and do not wish to expend the time and resources

necessary travel to Sacramento, California, for the deposition of Ms. Klutz on September 13,

2006, if it will become necessary to travel again to Sacramento on October 4, 2006, for the

deposition of Mr. Lockyer; and

WHEREAS, the parties are in agreement, therefore, that the date of Ms. Klutz’s

deposition, now noticed for September 13, 2006, should also be re-scheduled to October 4, 2006: 

 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, AGREED, AND ORDERED THAT:

1. The deadline for discovery in this matter shall be extended until October

4, 2006, for the sole purpose of taking on that date (i) the deposition of Brenda Klutz,

Deputy Director of Licensing and Certification with the California Department of Health

Services, and (ii) if so ordered by the Court, the deposition of Bill Lockyer, Attorney

General of California.

during the course of the depositions, the parties shall follow the requirements of

Magistrate Judge James’ standing order regarding such discovery disputes. If Judge

James orders either of the deponents to provide responses to questions he or she refused

to answer at the deposition on advice of counsel, the deposition may resume for that

purpose after October 4, 2006, on a date mutually acceptable to the parties and within a

time frame acceptable to the Court.

3. Nothing herein shall alter the briefing schedule established by the Court’s

June 23, 2006, Civil Minute Order.
