Case No. C07-02526 MEJ 

STIPULATED AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER CONTINUING DEADLINE 

TO CONDUCT MEDIATION TO 

FEBRUARY 29, 2008 

 

On August 19, 2007, the Court referred the parties to court-sponsored mediation, which was 

to be conducted pursuant to Local ADR Rule 6-4 on or before November 12, 2007. 

On October 26, 2007, the parties submitted a stipulation and proposed order requesting an 

extension of the deadline to conduct the mediation to and including February 1, 2008, based on 

calendar conflicts of counsel caused by vacation, the holidays and two federal trials in November and 

December 2007. (Plaintiff's counsel was in trial November 26-30, 2007, and defense counsel was in 

trial December 3-13, 2007). The Court granted an extension to and including February 1, 2008.

Despite trials in November and December 2007, the parties were able to exchange and 

respond to written discovery. However, due to the holidays, preparation for trials in January 2008,1

and other calendar conflicts between counsel and their clients, the parties were unable to schedule 

Plaintiff's deposition until February 4, 2008. 

The parties have contacted the mediator and—pending the Court's approval of this 

stipulation—scheduled the mediation for February 8, 2008. The parties request, however, that the 

Court extend the parties' deadline for completing the mediation to and including February 29, 2008, 

in case the need for a second session arises or an unanticipated conflict precludes the mediation on 

February 8, 2008. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
