JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE DISCOVERY AND EXPERT DISCLOSURES 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff Threshold Enterprises Ltd. 

(“Threshold”) and Defendant Functional Brands, LLC (“Functional Brands”) STIPULATE

AND AGREE as follows: 

1. On June 26, 2007, the Court entered an Order Scheduling Jury Trial and 

Pretrial Matters, setting forth the following discovery and expert disclosure deadlines in this matter: 

 Close of Non-Expert Discovery: 10/30/07 

 Last Day for Disclosure of Experts: 11/15/07 

 Last Day for Expert Discovery: 2/15/08 

(Docket Entry # 29) 

2. To date, Threshold and Functional Brands have both served requests for 

production and interrogatories. The parties are also in the process of meeting and conferring on 

the scheduling of depositions. 

3. On September 20, 2007, the parties engaged in mediation regarding their 

disputes in this matter. The mediation did not result in immediate settlement. 

4. Since the mediation, the parties have continued to engage in settlement 

discussions. 

5. In light of efforts to mediate and settle the case, the parties have refrained 

from extensive discovery. To facilitate the continuation of settlement discussions, without 

having to engage in expensive and time consuming discovery, the parties believe it is desirable to 

add an additional three weeks to complete necessary non-expert discovery. 

6. Because the parties contemplate the completion of non-expert discovery 

after the current deadline for disclosure of experts, the parties also require additional time to 

prepare for expert disclosures and discovery. 

7. Additionally, Threshold’s counsel Monty Agarwal has a two week trial in 

the Northern District of California beginning on October 22, 2007. As a result, Mr. Agarwal will 

have very limited ability to participate in discovery, including depositions, during this time. 

8. The proposed continuation of discovery and expert disclosure deadlines 

does not change the March 19, 2008 deadline for hearing dispositive motions, April 15, 2008

pretrial conference date, or May 5, 2008 trial date set forth in the Court’s Pretrial Order. 

(Docket # 29) 

9. No previous extensions of these dates have been sought or granted. 

10. Accordingly, Threshold and Functional Brands, through their respective 

counsel, concur in the request and respectively request that the Court continue discovery and 

expert disclosure deadlines in this matter as follows: 

 Close of Non-Expert Discovery: 11/20/07 

 Last Day for Disclosure of Experts: 12/6/07 

 Last Day for Expert Discovery: 3/7/08
