jointly stipulate and request that the Court grant a 60-day continuance of the initial 

expert witness disclosure deadline (July 16, 2010) and the rebuttal expert witness 

disclosure deadline (August 16, 2010) as set out in this Court’s Status (Pretrial 

Scheduling) Order filed on June 8, 2010 based on the following good cause: 

1. Plaintiff filed his action on February 11, 2010 seeking renovations to 

HIGH HILL RANCH in Placerville, California to improve disabled access, as well as 

seeking damages and attorney’s fees, litigation expenses, and costs. 

2. Defendant filed its answer to the Complaint on June 4, 2010. Since that 

time, the parties have begun settlement discussions, but additional information is 

required. Both parties believe that the opportunities for settlement are enhanced by 

saving the expense of expert witness costs at this time. 

3. The parties wish to continue the initial and rebuttal expert witness 

disclosure deadlines to allow the parties an opportunity to work towards resolution of 

this matter. 

4. While the parties are working in good faith to resolve this matter, the 

initial and rebuttal exchange disclosure dates currently loom at July 16, 2010 and 

August 16, 2010. Forcing the parties to have their experts finalize their opinions and 

issue reports at this time would significantly increase the cost of the case without 

increasing the likelihood of settlement. 

5. The parties therefore jointly request that the Court grant a continuance of 

the initial expert witness disclosure deadline from July 16, 2010 to September 16, 2010 

and the rebuttal expert witness disclosure deadline from August 16, 2010 to October 15, 

2010 to allow the parties an opportunity to negotiate resolution of Plaintiff’s claims 

before engaging in discovery and motion practice. 

6. A continuance will not affect any of the other deadlines in this case, as the 

discovery cut-off is not until December 15, 2010, and the last day to hear motions is 

February 7, 2011. Trial of this matter is not until July 26, 2011. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED as follows:
