STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING EXPERT DISCLOSURE

DATE, EXPERT DISCOVERY, LAST DAY TO HEAR DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS 

AND FURTHER CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE DATE Case No. C 05-2471 JSW

STIPULATION

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiffs Jeffrey Luque,

individually and as Guardian Ad Litem for Christine Luque, and Defendant,

United States of America, by and through their respective counsel of record, that

the Court be respectfully requested to enter an order extending the deadlines for

disclosure of expert witness, completion of expert discovery, the last day for

hearing dispositive motions and the further case management conference date for a

short period of time to allow the parties to attend the upcoming Settlement

Conference without first having to incur the significant costs associated with

expert discovery. 

When the expert discovery deadlines were originally set by the Court, the

parties had anticipated being in a position to attend a settlement conference before

having to spend substantial resources to complete expert discovery. However, the

March 2006 settlement conference date was continued to June 7, 2006, Judge

Larson’s first available date, upon the request of Plaintiff to conduct further

necessary medical examinations and evaluations of Mr. Luque’s claimed damages.

The parties, therefore, stipulate and respectfully request that the Court enter

an order extending the deadlines for disclosure of expert witnesses (currently June

6, 2006) until June 16, 2006 and for completing expert discovery (currently June

21, 2006) until June 30, 2006 in order to allow the parties an opportunity to

resolve this action through settlement at the upcoming Settlement Conference

without having to incur additional costs for expert discovery. 

Further, the parties respectfully and consequentially request that the related

deadlines regarding the last day for hearing dispositive motions and the further

case management conference (both currently July 28, 2006 at 9:00 a.m.) be

continued for approximately two to three weeks depending on the Court’s

calendar.
