STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER CONTINUING PRE-TRIAL AND 

TRIAL DATES________________________

Pre-Trial Conf: October 29, 2007 

Judge: Hon. William B. Shubb 

Trial Date: November 6, 2007 

 All parties to this action stipulate and agree, by and through their respective counsel, 

as follows: 

 1. The Court recently reset the Pre-Trial Conference from October 22, 2007, to 

October 29, 2007, in preparation for the November 6, 2007, trial of this matter. 

 2. Lead defense counsel Mr. Fitzgerald has a direct conflict with the new October 

29th date as he has been ordered by Judge Spero to participate in a mediation in another federal 

civil rights case on October 29th and this mediation cannot be rescheduled as the deadline to 

mediate is the end of October and numerous parties will be in attendance at the mediation.

 3. In inquiring about rescheduling the Pre-Trial Conference to a date that Mr. 

Fitzgerald and all parties can attend, we were informed by Your Honor’s clerk that Your Honor is 

currently involved in a lengthy criminal trial that is expected to last through January of 2008 and 

that this Deocampo case would not likely go out for trial no matter what date the parties select to 

undergo their Pre-Trial Conference. 

 4. The clerk notified us that the Court could accommodate a Pre-Trial Conference on 

November 5th, only one day prior to trial on November 6th, but this did not make sense since the 

trial of this Deocampo matter would not go forward for several months. 

 5. The clerk also informed us that Your Honor has additional criminal trials in early 

2008 through approximately May of 2008, and the next available likely time for a civil trial with 

Your Honor would be in June or July of 2008. We then obtained some available Pre-Trial and 

Trial dates from Your Clerk for the summer of 2008. 

 6. It would be an ineffective waste of party resources, and judicial time and 

resources, to undergo a Pre-Trial Conference and prepare all pre-trial documents per Court orders, 

months prior to the time of the trial. As such, the parties request that the Court continue the 

currently set Pre-Trial Conference and Trial dates per the availability of Your Honor as given by 

your clerk per the good cause demonstrated by this stipulation and proposed order. 

 7. The parties have met and conferred and have agreed to reset the Pre-Trial 

Conference and Trial dates per the dates given by Your Honor’s clerk, as follows: 

• New Pre-Trial Conference Date: July 28, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. 

• New Trial Date: September 3, 2008, at 9:00 a.m. 

8. Since discovery is now closed, it is to remain closed. Any party wishing to reopen discovery should seek leave of Court via motion and should demonstrate good cause to reopen such discovery. 

Respectfully submitted,
