 Stipulation and Order Continuing Case Management Deadlines And Trial Date DOCSSFO-12424793.1

The parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate to continue 

various deadlines set in the Court’s Order dated November 4, 2005, based upon a stipulation of the 

parties. 

Since the Court entered the November 4, 2005 Order, the parties have been engaged 

in extensive meet and confer discussions regarding various discovery disputes. The parties have 

made significant progress toward resolving certain of those disputes and have fully resolved a 

variety of issues. Certain remaining discovery disputes have been raised in Motions to Compel by 

each Party. As to those remaining disputes, the parties continue to meet and confer and remain 

hopeful that they will significantly narrow, if not fully resolve, many of the outstanding discovery 

issues. 

Despite the significant progress the parties have made during their meet and confer 

efforts, each party strongly believes that it does not have materials that are necessary to prepare its 

initial expert reports, which are due on December 22, 2005 under the current schedule. Accordingly, 

the parties stipulate to continue the case management schedule and trial date by approximately thirty 

(30) days in order to hopefully obtain and review materials necessary for their experts to prepare 

their initial reports. Unfortunately, merely continuing the existing expert disclosure schedule 

without continuing the trial date as well would make it virtually impossible to comply with other 

pretrial dates; the parties note that this is the first time they have requested a continuance of the trial 

date. The parties further note that, in addition to the requested trial date of April 17, 2006, they 

would be equally satisfied with a trial date of April 24, 2006, if such a date is convenient for the 

Court. However, if the Court is unable to schedule the trial on either of those dates, based on preexisting trial or other obligations, the parties request that trial not be scheduled during any of the 

following time frames: May 1, 2006 through June 23, 2006 or July 15, 2006 through August 15, 

2006. Plaintiff’s counsel currently has another trial scheduled for May, 2006 in the United States 

District Court for the Eastern District of California in the case of E.J. Gallo Winery v. Andina
