Case 1:15-cv-00606-DAD-EPG Document 23 Filed 05/05/16 Page 1 of 4
Plaintiff Adam Goodwin ("Plaintiff") and Defendant Winn 

Management Group LLC., by and through their respective counsel of 

record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS, Judge Shubb was initially assigned to this case on July 

8, 2015, and he issued a Scheduling Order on November 5, 2015 with the 

following deadlines:

a) Parties shall disclose experts and produce reports in 

accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a) 

(2) by no later than June 10, 2016; 

b) Experts and reports for the purposes of rebuttal shall be 

disclosed by July 8, 2016;

c) All discovery including deposition shall be conducted 

and completed by August 5, 2016; 

d) All motions to compel discovery must be noticed by 

August 5, 2016; and

e) All motions shall be file on or before October 7, 2016.

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to stay formal discovery, and 

have been actively involved in an informal exchange of information;

WHEREAS, the parties are attending a mediation in this matter with 

mediator Robert J. Kaplan on August 16, 2016, which is days after the 

discovery and the motion deadlines are required to be completed; 

WHEREAS, in the event that the parties do not settle the case at the 

August 16, 2016 mediation, Plaintiff will require time to conduct formal 

discovery, obtain the class list through a Belaire-West opt-out notice, take 

depositions, and draft his Motion for Class Certification. 

It is therefore stipulated and agreed by and between the parties 

through their undersigned counsel, subject to the approval of the Court, that 

Case 1:15-cv-00606-DAD-EPG Document 23 Filed 05/05/16 Page 2 of 4
discovery and motion deadlines, shall be continue by at least one hundred 

eighty days past the August 16, 2016 mediation. The parties are working 

together cooperatively, and anticipate agreeing to a reasonable briefing 

schedule for the Motion for Class Certification at a later date. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED:

ORDER

The Court has reviewed the parties’ joint stipulation (Doc. 22), and adopts it in 

part. The Court grants the parties’ request to stay the discovery deadlines until mediation 

is completed. However, the Court will not set further deadlines at this time. Instead, a 

telephonic status conference will be held before the undersigned on September 7, 2016 at 

10:30 a.m., to discuss the progress of the settlement negotiations. No later than 

September 1, 2016, the parties shall file a joint status report advising the Court whether 

the case settled. If the case has settled, the parties shall provide a schedule for the filing of 

a motion for preliminary approval of the class settlement. If the case does not settle, the 

joint status report shall include deadlines to complete class certification discovery, as well 

as a schedule for the filing of a class certification motion. The Court will address 

scheduling issues at the status conference, however, the parties are advised that if the case 

does not settle, a request for a six month continuance to conduct discovery will be looked 

upon with disfavor since this case was filed on April 16, 2015. (Doc. 1). As such, the 

parties shall plan accordingly.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
