STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FURTHER EXTENDING DEADLINES PENDING TENTATIVE 

SETTLEMENT: CIV F045930 REC DLB 

Pursuant to Local Rules 83-143 and 6-144, Plaintiffs Foster Poultry Farms and Foster 

Dairy Farms (collectively “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants American International Specialty Lines 

Insurance Company (“AISLIC”) and AIG Technical Services (“AIGTS”) (collectively 

“Defendants”) respectfully submit this Joint Stipulation and Proposed Order Further Extending 

Deadlines Pending Tentative Settlement. 

1. On August 12, 2005, Magistrate Judge Beck amended the schedule for pending motions, 

discovery, and other matters in this case and established the following deadlines [Docket 

#167-1]: 

a. Plaintiffs’ Opposition to Defendants’ Partial Motion for Summary Judgment/Judgment 

on the Pleadings -- 9/26/05; 

b. Defendants’ Reply in Support of Defendants’ Partial Motion for Summary 

Judgment/Judgment on the Pleadings -- 10/10/05; 

c. Plaintiffs’ Expert Disclosures -- 10/14/05; 

d. Hearing on Defendants’ Partial Motion for Summary Judgment/Judgment on the 

Pleadings -- 10/17/05; 

e. Close of Non-Expert Discovery -- 10/31/05; 

f. Defendants’ Expert Disclosures -- 11/4/05; 

g. Non-Dispositive Motions -- 11/14/05; 

h. Close of Expert Discovery -- 12/2/05; 

i. Hearing on Non-Dispositive Motions -- 12/2/05; 

j. Dispositive Motions -- 1/6/06; 

k. Hearing on Dispositive Motions -- 2/6/06, 

l. Pretrial Conference -- 3/17/06; and 

m. Trial -- 5/9/06. 

2. On September 2, 2005, in light of discovery-related scheduling difficulties, the parties filed a 

joint stipulation and proposed order extending the deadline for the filing of Plaintiffs’ 

Opposition to Defendants’ Partial Motion for Summary Judgment/Judgment on the Pleadings 

from September 26, 2005 to September 29, 2005, which Judge Coyle granted by Order of

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FURTHER EXTENDING DEADLINES PENDING TENTATIVE 

SETTLEMENT: CIV F045930 REC DLB 

September 12, 2005.1

3. On September 26, 2005, the parties informed the Court of their tentative agreement to settle 

this action and filed a Stipulation and Proposed Order Extending Deadlines Pending Tentative 

Settlement to allow for the finalization of a formal settlement agreement. The Court adopted 

and approved the parties’ proposed order on September 27, 2005, extending the deadlines for 

items (a) through (f), listed above, for two weeks. 

4. On October 14, 2005, the parties filed a second Stipulation and Proposed Order Extending 

Deadlines Pending Tentative Settlement to allow for the finalization of a formal settlement 

agreement. The Court adopted and approved the parties’ proposed order on October 17, 2005, 

extending the deadlines for items (a) through (f), listed above, for two weeks. 

5. On October 28, 2005, the parties filed a third Stipulation and Proposed Order Extending 

Deadlines Pending Tentative Settlement to allow for the finalization of a formal settlement 

agreement. The Court adopted and approved the parties’ proposed order on November 2, 

2005, extending the deadlines for items (a) through (f), listed above, for two weeks. 

6. Because the parties have not yet finalized the settlement even though Plaintiffs’ Opposition to 

Defendants’ Partial Motion for Summary Judgment/Judgment on the Pleadings is currently 

due on November 11, 2005, and because the parties anticipate that it will take an additional 

week to finalize the parties’ draft settlement agreement, the parties wish to extend the 

deadlines for items (a) through (f), listed above, for an additional three (3) weeks. 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties have agreed and hereby stipulate to an additional three 

(3) week extension of the deadlines for (a) through (f), above (subject to the Court’s availability), 

pending the parties’ tentative settlement.

 Defendants’ motion was originally set for a hearing on July 18, 2005; however, in light of thenpending disqualification proceedings, the motion was re-set for a hearing on August 15, 2005.
