Case No. 3:14-cv-2010-VC

STIPULATION TO EXTEND 

DEADLINES FOR CERTAIN 

DISCOVERY DEADLINES and 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Hon. Vince Chhabria

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS 

CORPORATION and Defendant SPOT LIGHTING SUPPLIES, INC. hereby stipulate as 

follows:

1. The parties have agreed to an extension for SPOT LIGHTING 

SUPPLIES, INC.’s responses to written discovery requests from 

PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS CORPORATION to February 

Case 3:14-cv-02010-VC Document 30 Filed 01/23/15 Page 1 of 3

2. PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS CORPORATION’s 30(b)(6) 

depositions of SPOT LIGHTING SUPPLIES, INC. to occur on or 

before February 16, 2015 but no earlier than February 11, 2015; 

3. The Deadline to move to compel further responses to discovery: 

February 23, 2015;

4. The deadline for Expert disclosures: March 13, 2015; and

5. The Expert discovery cut-off: May 15, 2015.

The parties are engaging in settlement discussions at this time and desire to attempt to 

resolve this matter prior to completing the above-referenced discovery. Counsel for Defendant 

was in trial from January 5th through January 13th in the San Jose branch of this Court on another 

case, (5:08-cv-05296-PSG), which was only set for trial in October 2014. At the pretrial 

conference in the San Jose case on December 16, 2014, the Court also ordered additional fact 

and expert discovery to take place prior to December 31, 2014, even though discovery had 

previously closed in 2011 in that matter. Defense counsel’s trial, pretrial deadlines, ordered 

discovery and trial preparation for the January 5, 2015 trial impacted the parties’ ability to have 

meaningful settlement discussions and complete discovery in this matter, following the 

December 11, 2014 Early Neutral Evaluation and prior to the previously set deadlines.

There have been no prior modifications of any of the deadlines set by this Court in this 

matter. 

Trial in this matter is set for November 9, 2015, with a Pretrial conference on October 

27, 2015. The deadline for Motion hearings is August 20, 2015. These deadlines are not 

affected by the requested scheduling change. 

As PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS CORPORATION does not so stipulate, 

Defendant SPOT LIGHTING SUPPLIES, INC. reserves its right to move the Court for leave to 

complete its 30(b) deposition of PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS CORPORATION, 

should the matter not resolve in February as a result of the parties’ settlement negotiations.
