Stipulation to Continue Discovery Deadlines and Order to Continue Discovery 

USDC Eastern District of California Case No. CIV.S-05-02248 FCD DAD 

WHEREAS, the discovery cut-off date in this matter is December 13, 2006; 

WHEREAS, the parties previously mediated this matter with Judge Raul Ramirez, 

but were unable to then resolve the matter; 

WHEREAS, as a result of the first mediation with Judge Ramirez, the parties 

agreed to initially focus discovery on a single issue (successor-in-interest status under the Family 

Medical Leave Act) in order to fully and more effectively explore the possibility of settlement, 

and to subsequently complete discovery should settlement discussions not thereafter resolve the 

matter, presently set for trial on August 14, 2007; 

WHEREAS, the parties have completed discovery related to the successor-ininterest issue and now believe that mediation before Judge Ramirez should resume prior to 

completing discovery and incurring any unnecessary expenses related thereto; 

WHEREAS, Judge Ramirez will not be available until January 2007 for 

mediation; 

WHEREAS, trial is set for August 14, 2007, and no other scheduled dates other 

than the December 13, 2006 discovery cut-off need to be adjusted; 

WHEREAS, the parties believe that good cause exists to grant a continuance of 

the discovery cut-off date so that this matter can be mediated with the greatest chance of success; 

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES, BY AND THROUGH THEIR 

RESPECTIVE COUNSEL OF RECORD, HEREBY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS: 

The current discovery cut-off date of December 13, 2006 shall be continued to 

February 16, 2007, all other dates to remain as presently scheduled by the Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
