CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-0068-TLN-CMK

JOINT STIPULATION TO TAKE 

DEPOSITION AFTER EXISTING 

DISCOVERY CUT-OFF DATE AND

ORDER

Complaint Filed: 1/12/2015

WHEREAS, Defendant 30TH DISTRICT AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION (“30TH

DAA), and Plaintiff RICHARD HAMMOND (“HAMMOND”) by and through their respective 

counsel of record, hereby agree and stipulate as follows: 

1. On or about January 12, 2015, HAMMOND filed his original Complaint. 

2. On or about April 10, 2015, the parties agreed to participate in the Voluntary Dispute 

Resolution Program (“VDRP”). The parties could not reach an agreement.

3. On October 22, 2015, the parties filed a Joint Scheduling Report.

4. On December 7, 2015, the Court entered its Pre-Trial Scheduling Order. Since 

December 7, 2015, the parties have engaged in discovery, including the production of 

Case 2:15-cv-00068-TLN-CMK Document 24 Filed 05/23/16 Page 1 of 3

documents and third-party discovery. 

5. The Court set a trial date for May 8, 2017 and ordered that all discovery be completed 

by June 6, 2016. Paradoxically, the deadline for disclosure of Expert Witnesses is set 

after the discovery cut-off on August 11, 2016, which would prevent conducting 

depositions of said experts after disclosure. 

6. On April 26, 2016, Plaintiff filed a Motion for Leave to Amend Complaint to join an 

additional Defendant, Red Bluff Round-Up Association. The hearing for this Motion is 

scheduled for June 2, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom 2. The 30th DAA’s response to the 

motion is due on May 19, 2016. The 30th DAA does not intend to oppose

HAMMOND’s Motion for Leave.

7. Based on the schedule of the PMQ Deponent and counsel, there is a lack of time to 

schedule and complete the PMQ’s deposition prior to the June 6, 2016 discovery cut-off 

date.

8. More, if Plaintiff’s Motion for Leave is granted, Parties anticipate the Court will vacate 

the due dates and hearing dates set in the current Pretrial Scheduling Order. 

9. Permitting the scheduling of the PMQ deposition after the June 16, 2016 discovery cutoff date will not affect any remaining dates.

10. Accordingly, the parties wish to schedule and take the deposition of the 30TH DAA’s 

Person Most Qualified deponent after the discovery cut-off date. 

Based on the above, THE 30TH DAA AND HAMMOND HEREBY STIPULATE AND

AGREE, SUBJECT TO COURT APPROVAL, TO PERMIT THE DEPOSITION OF THE 30th

DAA’s PMQ BE TAKEN AFTER THE DISCOVERY CUT-OFF, ON OR AFTER JUNE 6, 2016,

AND PRIOR TO THE DISPOSITIONAL MOTIONS DATE OF DECEMBER 8, 2016. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED AND AGREED.
