JOINT MOTION AND PROPOSED STIPULATED ORDER TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING ORDER 

Case No. C-04-4180 (MMC)

JOINT MOTION

The parties jointly propose modifications to the pretrial dates in the Scheduling Order in order to 

accommodate schedules of witnesses, both fact and expert, and to ensure that the case is adequately 

prepared for trial by the date previously set by the Court. As grounds for the motion, the parties state 

that they have diligently attempted to move this matter forward. There are numerous witnesses out of 

state, including Florida, New York, Colorado and at least one out of the country in Finland in addition to 

those witnesses in California. Depositions of these witnesses are going forward but cannot be completed 

in view of their locations and varying schedules within the schedule as presently constituted. In addition, 

the parties have been engaged in settlement negotiations including meetings and dialogue among counsel 

and the parties directly in the hopes of resolving this matter short of a trial. Such discussions and 

negotiations have taken considerable time in an attempt to avoid a trial. Finally, the parties will continue 

to “double-track” discovery where necessary but state that the additional time proposed below is 

necessary in order to be able to complete discovery necessary to an efficient trial of this matter.

In view of all of the above, the parties respectfully request that the Court revise the internal dates 

as set forth below and sign the proposed Stipulated Order contained therein. The parties note that 

neither the Final Pretrial date nor the Trial setting is impacted.
