STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND PRE-TRIAL DEADLINES 

 1. On April 13, 2006, the Court approved the parties’ Stipulation to Mediate 

in Lieu of Early Neutral Evaluation and to Extend Pre-Trial Deadlines, and issued an 

order (“Pre-Trial Order”). Pursuant to the Pre-Trial Order, the following pre-trial 

deadlines have been established: 

 a) the mediation to be completed on or before June 23, 2006; 

 b) all lay witness depositions to be completed by the Discovery Cutoff (as 

defined by Local Rules of United States District Court for the Northern District of 

California, Rule 26-2) of August 15, 2006, and all written discovery to be completed by 

the Discovery Cutoff of August 15, 2006; 

 c) all expert witness depositions to be completed by August 31, 2006; and 

 d) all dispositive motions to be filed on or before September 15, 2006. 

 2. The parties proceeded to mediate on June 14, 2006, which was not 

successful. The parties then proceeded with plaintiff Rita Jette’s deposition on June 15, 

2006. 

 3. The parties have been discussing deposition dates for other lay witnesses, 

including, without limitation, Defendant, Cross-Claimant and Third Party Plaintiff, 

Michael Friel (“Friel”), and Defendant and Cross-Defendant George McQueen 

(“McQueen”) when both counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Seth L. Goldstein and Ms. Maureen 

M. Bryan, began their trial in another case on June 23, 2006. Although the original trial 

estimate was 2 weeks, counsel for plaintiff are still in trial as of today, and expect to be 

in trial at least until August 4, 2006, making it a six week trial. As a result, the tentative 

dates for the depositions of Friel and McQueen no longer work, and will have to be 

rescheduled.

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND PRE-TRIAL DEADLINES 

 4. Moreover, the lead counsel for plaintiff, Mr. Goldstein, is scheduled to be 

on vacation from August 2, 2006, until the end of the month. Thus, the depositions of 

Friel and McQueen are not likely to proceed until early September 2006. In addition, 

Friel intends to depose the third party defendants in this action, which will likely 

proceed after his and McQueen’s depositions. 

 5. Thus, the parties hereby stipulate to amend the pre-trial deadlines as 

follows: 

 a) all lay witness depositions to be completed by Friday, September 22, 

2006, and all written discovery to be completed by September 22, 2006; 

 b) all expert witness depositions to be completed by October 13, 2006; and 

 c) all dispositive motions to be filed on or before November 3, 2006. 

 6. This Stipulation may be executed by facsimile in multiple counterparts, 

each of which shall be deemed an original and which shall together constitute one and 

the same instrument.
