Stipulation and Order – Continue Trial, Extend Discovery / Expert Wit. Disclosure 

WHEREAS on March 30, 2015, the Court signed a Stipulation and Order to extend the 

discovery cut off date from April 24, 2015 to July 20, 2015, and expert witness disclosure date 

from June 26, 2015 to August 14, 2015. (Document 27);

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs scheduled a total of nine depositions in this matter between April 

2, 2015 to April 22, 2015;

WHEREAS on March 31, 2015, defendant AR Business Group, Inc. dba U.S. Tire & 

Wheel filed a Voluntary Petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District 

of California, bankruptcy petition #15-22566;

WHEREAS the bankruptcy action resulted in an automatic bankruptcy stay pursuant to 

11 U.S.C. section 362(a), thereby preventing the parties from proceeding with the 

aforementioned depositions, completing discovery, and from preparing and designating experts;

WHEREAS on April 20, 2015, the bankruptcy was dismissed for failure to timely file 

documents;

WHEREAS, on April 28, 2015, AR Business Group filed a Motion for Reconsideration 

of the bankruptcy dismissal, which was denied on May 18, 2015, as the Court deemed it “unduly 

confusing” to vacate the dismissal as notice had already been sent to the creditors, and that the 

proper course of action would be for AR Business Group to re-file the bankruptcy action;

WHEREAS on June 22, 2015, Mr. Matulich, counsel for AR Business Group, indicated 

to Estee Lewis of Barr & Mudford’s office that the bankruptcy would be re-filed in the first half 

of July, which would result in a further automatic stay of proceedings.

WHEREAS the parties agree that a further extension is necessary in this case to give the 

plaintiffs time to file a Motion for Relief of the Automatic Bankruptcy Stay; allow the parties to 

reschedule the aforementioned depositions; allow the parties to complete discovery, prepare and 

designate experts; and allow the parties to prepare dispositive motions.
