Stipulation and [Proposed] Order Extending

Deadlines / Case No. 14-cv-00327-MEJ -1- 31195\5505866.1

Whereas, on June 7, 2016 the parties participated in a settlement conference before

Magistrate Judge Beeler. The parties did not reach an agreement, but agreed that further

settlement discussions may be helpful;

Whereas the parties discussed with Magistrate Judge Beeler a potential extension of the

schedule with the goal of facilitating further meaningful settlement discussions in connection with

summary judgment motions and ahead of trial;

Whereas, with Magistrate Judge Beeler’s advice, the parties have agreed that extending

the remaining case deadlines and staging the case to allow for early dispositive motions and a

hearing on December 22, 2016, would best facilitate further meaningful settlement discussions

ahead of trial;

Whereas the parties have also agreed that certain expert disclosures and discovery related

to mitigation and damages issues can and should be scheduled after summary judgment motions.

Specifically, the parties have agreed that economic expert reports and medical and vocational

expert reports concerning plaintiff’s current medical condition, disability status, and ability to

work should be deferred, which will allow the parties additional time to schedule any necessary

examinations, to resolve any disputes regarding the conditions of such discovery, and to explore

potential stipulations regarding these issues.

Therefore, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that the following deadlines are extended

or implemented as follows, pending the Court’s availability and approval:

Event Current Date Proposed Date
