Case No. 1:15-CV-01005---GSA

JOINT STIPULATION AND REQUEST 

TO EXTEND DEADLINES IN 

PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER BY 

45 DAYS; ORDER

DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL

Courtroom: 10

Magistrate Judge: Hon. Erica P. Grosjean

Complaint Filed: July 2, 2015

Trial Date: September 15, 2016

Plaintiff JAMES E. HALL (“Plaintiff”), through his counsel Garrett & 

Jensen, and Defendant REGAL CINEMAS, INC. (erroneously sued and served as 

Regal Entertainment Group) (hereinafter “Defendant”), through its counsel 

Klinedinst PC, hereby stipulate and seek Court approval for the following:

STIPULATION

Since this Court’s Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order of December 7, 2015, 

the parties have exchanged written discovery. Due to some disagreements 

regarding responses to outstanding discovery, the parties met and conferred in

good faith. Avoiding discovery motion practice, the parties have been able to 

reconcile these discovery issues and continued to work in good faith to obtain 

certain relevant medical records. However, the ongoing delay in the discovery 

process has precluded the parties from taking any depositions and/or obtaining 

expert review and discovery. Moreover, once the parties have obtained the 

necessary discovery and taken party depositions, they may explore the possibility 

of a settlement and/or mediation before engaging in expensive percipient and 

expert discovery. 

The parties request a 45 day continuance of all deadlines in order to 

complete additional discovery, take depositions, and explore the possibility of 

settling and/or mediating Plaintiff’s claims. Neither the Plaintiff nor the Defendant 

has sought any extensions of time from this Court in the litigation of this action. 

Accordingly, the parties request to modify the Scheduling Conference Order 

as follows: 

(1)Nonexpert Discovery due by 8/15/2016;

(2)Expert Disclosure due by 5/17/2016; 

(3)Rebuttal Expert Disclosure due by 6/16/2016;

(4)Expert Discovery due by 9/22/2016;

(5)Non-Dispositive Motions filed by 8/19/2016; 

(6)Dispositive Motions filed by 8/29/2016;

(7)Pretrial Conference set for 12/19/2016 at 11:00 AM; and

(8)Jury Trial set for 1/27/2017
