NOTICE OF MOTION 1:06-CV-00684-AWI-LJO 

The parties, acting by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby 

agree and stipulate to continue the Scheduling Order in this matter as follows: 

 Previous Date Stipulated New Date

Expert Designation Deadline October 10, 2007 March 1, 2008 

Discovery Deadline (non-expert) December 28, 2007 January 31, 2008 

Discovery Deadline (expert) January 31, 2008 April 30, 2008 

Pre-Trial Motion Filing Deadline: February 14, 2008 May 15, 2007 

The Pre-Trial Conference date of June 16, 2008 and the Trial date of July 21, 2008 

will remain the same. This continuance is necessary due to the Plaintiff’s need that independent 

medical examinations be conducted locally, as opposed to in Los Angeles, where Defendants’ 

experts were originally located. The parties hereby stipulate to a continuance of the above dates 

as independent medical examinations will not be conducted on Plaintiffs until January 2008. As a 

result, the above deadlines must be moved. 

Therefore, the parties respectfully request that the Court order the continuance of 

the dates described above, subject to the Court’s schedule and approval. This Stipulation can be 

executed in counter parts.
