 Plaintiff, Cozad Trailer Sales, LLC, a California limited liability company (herein 

after “Cozad”), and Defendants Rackley Bilt Trailer Sales, Inc., a California corporation 

and or Danny Rackley, an individual, (herein after “Defendants”) by and through their 

undersigned attorneys of record, hereby stipulate and agree and respectfully request that 

the Court approve a revised Pretrial and Trial Schedule. 

No other pre-trial motions are contemplated. Summary Judgment motions have 

already been filed and heard. 

The original discovery cut-off date of Wednesday, April 12, 2006, was previously 

extended by stipulated order to Monday, May 15, 2006. The extended cut-off date was 

further extended by stipulated order to Monday June 15, 2006. Plaintiff’s Expert Report 

Disclosure date was originally set for June 15, 2006. 

The first extension stipulation and request was entered into in part to 

accommodate a large number of potential deposition witnesses, some of whom are third 

parties, and also to acknowledge and take into account the unavailability of defendants’ 

counsel from March 30th through April 10 , 2006. The parties had conducted discovery 

diligently through that date. Eight depositions had been taken. Written discovery 

propounded by both sides had been completed. Responses to a second set of written 

discovery request by Defendant were completed. Extensive document production has 

been assembled and was then being exchanged. 

The parties requested a Second and Third extension to explore settlement. The 

Third extension was approved by Order extending the discovery cut-off date to August 

31st, 2006. A forth extension seeking to extend the discovery cut-off to September 30th

request was denied by the Magistrate, without prejudice, because of the proximity of the 

requested cut-off date to the pre-trial conference. 

In order to pursue further settlement Plaintiff still awaits completion of an expert 

survey being conducted by Plaintiff. The survey project is underway and while efforts are 

proceeding in a responsible and diligent way, the Survey, expected to be completed in

mid July, was extended and has not yet been received. Preliminary results are, however, 

already being shared between and discussed by the parties. 

Additional written discovery is not contemplated; however, there are 

approximately Three (3) to Four (4) days worth of depositions to be taken. Those 

depositions were scheduled several times, but continued due to scheduling conflicts that 

developed due to counsel’s involvement in other pending actions. The parties are 

cooperating regarding discovery issues. 

Throughout the case, Counsel for both parties are communicating and 

cooperating with respect to the conduct and completion of discovery, however, 

scheduling conflicts and the unavailability of deponents have delayed the taking of the 

remaining depositions and the report on Plaintiff’s survey have not yet been received. 

Counsels for both parties believe that approval of the extension request will 

afford the parties the opportunity to receive the report of the results of Plaintiff’s survey, 

to engage in settlement negotiations and to take the remaining depositions, in the event 

that the parties’ settlement negotiations do not result in settlement of all issues. The 

parties are serious about settlement discussions and in fact, have agreed to request an 

early settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Drozd. 

The parties have stipulated to the following dates, have conferred with Judge 

Shubb’s Court Room Deputy with respect to the availability of these dates, and respectful 

request that the court approve the following schedule: 

Trial Date: May 15, 2007 

Pretrial Conference: March 12, 2007 

Plaintiff’s Expert Discovery Due: January 15, 2006 

All pretrial Motions Complete by: December 15, 2006 

Non-Expert Discovery Cut Off: November 30, 2006 

Further, the parties stipulate to participate in an early Pre-Trial Settlement 

Conference with Magistrate Judge Drozd scheduled on Thursday, October 5, 2006, at

10:00 a.m. so that the parties may engage in a formal settlement conference and 

negotiation prior to completing the remaining depositions. The parties have contacted 

Magistrate Judge Drozd’s office and confirmed the availability of Pre-Trial Settlement 

on Thursday, October 5, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. Pending the October 5, 2006 Settlement 

Conference the parties will continue non-expert and expert discovery, but have stipulated 

not to take further oral depositions pending the outcome of the Settlement Conference. 

Both parties are aware of and approve of this request. Good cause appears for this 

stipulation and order. Granting this request will further the interest of justice.
