UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION 

LISA MARIE DITLEVSON, 

 Plaintiff, 

v. 

LEGAL EXPRESS, LTD., a California 

corporation, KRAIG VORSATZ, individually and 

in his official capacity; and DOES 1 through 10, 

inclusive, 

 Defendants. 

Case No.: 3:15-cv-03977 MMC

JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND TIME TO COMPLETE 

MEDIATION 

[ADR Local Rule 6-5] 

The Court’s Order dated November 25, 2015 (Dkt. No. 22) adopted the Parties’ Stipulation and 

[Proposed] Order Selecting Mediation pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-8 and ADR Local Rule 3-5 

(Dkt. No. 20), selecting the ADR process for this case using mediation to be completed before May 2, 

2016. 

The Parties have discussed the deadline, and have agreed that the mediation deadline is 

unrealistic given the parties’ own informal and formal discovery timelines. Plaintiff is conducting its 

own investigation of the facts and Defendant Legal Express, Ltd. is still determining whether or not it 

will seek formal discovery responses at this time.
