STIPULATION TO CONTINUE INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE TO JANUARY 27, 2016 AND 

ADJUST CERTAIN ASSOCIATED DEADLINES ACCORDINGLY

Case No.: 15-CV-4658-NC

The parties stipulate, and ask the Court to enter an order, as follows:

1. The Initial Case Management Conference in the above-captioned matter is currently 

set for January 6, 2015.

2. Defendant Adobe Systems, Inc. has filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff David Heller’s 

Complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) (“Defendant’s Motion”) (Doc. 

#12). That motion is currently set to be heard on January 27, 2016. 

3. Defendant believes that setting the initial Case Management Conference and the 

hearing on Defendant’s Motion on the same day would be more convenient for the parties as well as 

promote judicial efficiency and economy. Plaintiff does not oppose Defendant’s request.

4. Under the current schedule, the deadline for the initial Case Management Statement, 

Rule 26(f) Report, and initial disclosures is December 30, 2015. 

5. Defendant Adobe’s offices are closed for the holidays from December 23, 2015 

through January 1, 2016, making it difficult for defense counsel to confer with the client regarding 

initial disclosures, Rule 26(f) Report, and the initial Case Management Statement currently due on 

December 30, 2015. 

6. Defendant requests that the deadline for filing a Rule 26(f) Report, the initial Case 

Management Statement, and initial disclosures be continued until January 20, 2016. Plaintiff does 

not oppose Defendant’s request.

7. The parties have agreed to keep all other case schedule deadlines (the Rule 26(f) 

conference and ADR deadlines of December 16, 2015) the same.

8. This is the first continuance requested for the initial Case Management Conference 

and certain associated deadlines. This request is not being made for the purposes of delay.

9. It is therefore stipulated and agreed by Plaintiff and Defendant, through their 

respective attorneys of record, that the case management schedule be revised as follows:
