NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Pursuant to Local Rules 6-1(b) and 6-2, and for good cause shown below, plaintiffs 

Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America and defendants Tinney Construction 

Company, Aidan Tinney and Christy Tinney request and stipulate to an extension of current 

discovery and motion-filing deadlines as described below. These extensions are necessary for 

completion of all matters related to the written discovery exchanged between the parties and the 

depositions noticed by the parties to date (the “Pending Discovery”), including the resolution of 

any potential disputes regarding the Pending Discovery. This Stipulation does not seek an 

extension of the fact discovery deadline for purposes of conducting additional discovery.

The parties stipulate to the following modifications to the deadlines set in the August 9, 

2005 Pretrial Preparation Order:

Expert and fact discovery cutoff: February 14, 2006 (from January 16)

Last day to file summary judgment motions: February 17, 2006 (from January 24)

Last day to file motions to compel: February 17, 2006 (from January 25)

• Replies due March 6, 2006 (from February 17);

• Last hearing date March 20, 2006 (from March 3)

In support of this Stipulation, the parties state as follows:

1. The parties are working together cooperatively and diligently to complete the 

Pending Discovery and simultaneously are engaging in substantive settlement discussions. In 

particular, the parties have been actively coordinating deposition schedules around holiday 

schedules and unexpected family illness. Until depositions are concluded, summary judgment and 

other dispositive motions cannot be effectively completed.

2. In the interests of efficient and economical completion of the Pending Discovery, 

the parties have requested and agreed to the limited extension of time described above in order to: 

(a) conduct noticed depositions, (b) resolve any discovery disputes, and (c) present dispositive 

motions.

3. Counsel for the parties have met and conferred in connection with the preparation 

of this Stipulation and agree that a limited extension of the fact discovery and motion deadlines is 

in the interests of justice, in the best interests of the parties, and will increase the likelihood of 

settlement.

4. This is the first extension of time the parties have requested. It will not otherwise 

affect the deadlines set forth in the Scheduling Order, including the April 4, 2006 pretrial 

conference or the April 17, 2006 trial date.

5. Counsel for the parties will continue to work together to ensure that complete 

document productions and depositions occur as quickly and efficiently as possible, and to resolve 

disputed discovery issues.

Based on the foregoing Stipulation, the parties respectfully request that the Court grant
