HIPOLITO M. CHACOAN 

 Plaintiff, 

vs. 

DR. ROHRER, et al. 

 Defendants. 

Case No. CIV.S-05-2276 FCD GGH P 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND 

BY TWO COURT DAYS THE DEADLINE 

FOR FILING JOINT PRETRIAL 

CONFERENCE STATEMENT 

 The parties stipulate to extend the deadline for filing the parties’ Joint Pretrial Conference 

Statement by two court days – from Friday, January 8, 2010 until Tuesday, January 12, 2010. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), counsel request that the Court enter an order approving this stipulation 

extending time for the following reasons: 

1. This matter is currently set for a final pretrial conference on January 15, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. 

2. Plaintiff filed a separate pretrial statement on December 31, 2009. 

3. Local Rule 281(a)(2) requires the filing of a joint statement by January 8, 2010. Counsel 

have been advised by the Court’s deputy that defendants need not file separate pretrial 

statements.

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR FILING JOINT PRETRIAL STATEMENT 

CASE NO.: CIV S-05-2276 FCD GGH P

4. Since Plaintiff filed his separate pretrial statement, one of the defense counsel (Mr. Pass) has 

been out of the office, initially on vacation, but recently due to illness. Thus, until today he 

has not been available to prepare a joint statement. 

5. One of the Plaintiff’s counsel (Mr. Sangster) and one defense counsel (Mr. Pass) will be out 

of the office and unavailable on Thursday and Friday. In the case of Mr. Sangster, his 

absence is for the purpose of taking two vacation days. In addition, the paralegal working on 

the case for Plaintiff’s counsel (Ms. Yates) has been selected for jury duty, which will render 

her unavailable on Thursday and Friday this week. Ms Yates would have coordinated 

assembly and preparation of the joint pretrial statement, if she were available. 

6. All counsel have been working cooperatively on this matter, and it is their collective 

objective to prepare a meaningful joint pretrial statement that will expedite the Court’s 

pretrial planning process. Due to the absences of counsel and the paralegal for Plaintiff’s 

counsel, it will not be possible to complete that process by Friday without cancellation of a 

brief vacation (in the case of Mr. Sangster) or rescheduling of other commitments (in the case 

of Mr. Pass). 

7. Accordingly, counsel request that the deadline for filing the parties’ Joint Pretrial Statement 

be extended by two court days, until noon on January 12, 2010.
