Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the 

parties hereto through their respective attorneys of record that, if the Court approves, the current 

discovery deadline in the above-captioned case be extended as set forth below. The stipulation is 

based on the following: 

 The current discovery schedule has been set in a series of agreements and court orders. On 

November 18, 2008, the parties in the above-captioned action filed a Discovery Plan pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) setting forth, among other things, discovery deadlines. On 

February 9, 2009, the parties appeared for a Status Conference and the Court issued Amended 

Civil Minutes setting discovery deadlines and a trial date. On June 12, 2009, the Court entered an 

Order granting the stipulated request of the parties to reset the trial deadlines and trial date in the 

above-captioned action. On October 5, 2009, the Court entered an Order granting the stipulated 

request of the parties to reset the discovery deadlines and trial date in the above-captioned action. 

On January 4, 2010, the Court entered an Order granting the stipulated request of the parties to 

reset the discovery deadlines and trial date in the above-captioned action. On January 13, 2010, 

the Court entered an Order granting the stipulated request of the parties to reset the deadline for 

depositions in the above-captioned action. 

 The parties have agreed to extend the discovery schedule for the limited purpose of 

completing the deposition of Thomas W. Weisel. The extension is necessary because the witness 

is not available at a time convenient for all parties prior to the current deadline for completing 

depositions. 

The parties seek Court approval to further extend the discovery deadline for depositions 

from February 4, 2010 to March 24, 2010 for the purpose of completing the deposition of Mr. 

Weisel. 

 In all other respects, the Court’s prior scheduling orders shall remain unchanged. 

The parties respectfully request that the Court grant their request. 

 In accordance with General Order No. 45, Section X regarding signatures, the filer of this 

document hereby attests that concurrence in the filing of this document was obtained from each of 

the signatories listed below.
