STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT

356314 v1 CASE NO. 3:16-CV-03505-JST

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2, counsel of record for Plaintiff Michael Sullivan, Defendant Ford

Motor Company (“Ford”) and Defendant Thieman Tailgates, Inc. (collectively “the Parties”) hereby

stipulate to:

(1) continue the Initial Case Management Conference currently scheduled for October 5,

2016 at 2:00pm to November 9, 2016 at 2:00pm or as soon thereafter as is convenient for

the Court.

(2) Continue the corresponding deadlines accordingly as follows:

a. 10/19/16 - Last day to complete Rule 26(f) conference.

b. 10/31/16 – Last day to file Joint CMC Statement.

c. 11/2/16 – Deadline to exchange initial disclosures and to submit Rule 26(f)

Report.

(3) continue the following ADR selection process deadlines as set forth in the Court’s June

24, 2016 Order by 30 days.

Plaintiff Michael Sullivan and Ford further stipulate to extend Ford’s deadline to respond to

Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint from August 15, 2016 to September 6, 2016.

As set forth in the accompanying declaration of Joan R. Camagong, good cause exists to

continue the Initial Case Management Conference due to Plaintiff’s counsel’s trial conflict. Further,

good cause also exists to extend Ford’s deadline to respond to Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint

as it raises complex legal issues that require additional time for Ford to prepare its response.

There have been no prior time modifications in this case.

The Parties believe that continuing the Initial Case Management Conference and all

corresponding deadlines triggered by the Initial Case Management Conference will not prejudice the

Parties at this stage of the litigation.
