Case No.: C 06-02356 CW 

ORDER GRANTING AMENDED 

STIPULATION CONTINUING TRIAL AND 

PRETRIAL DATES 

This Stipulation is entered into by and among plaintiff BETTY GAIL IRWIN and 

defendants COUNTY OF SONOMA, CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL GROUP, INC. and 

SUTTER MEDICAL CENTER OF SANTA ROSA with reference to the following facts: 

At the September 8, 2006 Case Management Conference before the Honorable Claudia 

Wilken, plaintiff’s counsel advised the Court that new defendants were going to be added to this 

case. Although Judge Wilken set this case for trial on August 13, 2007 and scheduled discovery 

cutoffs and a number of other pretrial dates, she advised counsel that once the new defendants were 

added, if the parties believed that additional time was needed, they could request a continuance of 

the trial and other pretrial dates by stipulation. 

On September 27, 2006, this Court approved plaintiff’s Stipulation and Order Substituting 

Parties, substituting CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL GROUP, INC. and SUTTER 

MEDICAL CENTER OF SANTA ROSA in place of Does 1 and 2, respectively. On October 4,
