STIPULATION REGARDING

EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY AND

MEDIATION DEADLINES

DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL

Discovery is on-going in this case. The depositions of defendants and plaintiff

have been taken; however, additional depositions are scheduled and will be scheduled. 

Additionally, certain document discovery is still on-going. For these reasons, the parties

believe that mediation will be facilitated by additional time for discovery.

The parties have conferred and agreed to extend the date for certain discovery

deadlines and to extend the date for mediation in this matter in order to assist in

evaluation of the case. Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate and move to the Court to

order that the following deadlines now apply:
