CASE NO. 2:05-CV-2405-MCE-JFM 

E-filing 

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

EXTENDING DEADLINE TO 

COMPLETE DISCOVERY 

Plaintiff Judee Daniels (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Sacramento County Chapter of 

American Red Cross (“Defendant”) (collectively “the parties”), by and through their undersigned 

counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree to the following: 

1. The parties submitted a Joint Status Report proposing that all non-expert 

discovery be closed 60 days before trial and that the deadline for filing non-discovery motions be 

90 days before trial. In its Pretrial Scheduling Order issued on February 23, 2006, the Court set 

the deadline to complete all discovery, with the exception of expert discovery, for July 25, 2006. 

In addition, the Court set trial for April 25, 2007.

2. After receiving the Pretrial Scheduling Order, the parties agreed to discuss 

settlement before engaging in extensive discovery. The parties have been discussing settlement 

and alternative dispute resolution options during the past few months. The parties believe an 

early discovery cutoff deadline will foreclose the possibility of reaching a reasonable settlement 

in this matter. 

3. With the discovery cutoff quickly approaching, the parties request the deadline for 

conducting discovery be extended to September 25, 2006. The parties further agree that no other 

deadlines or cut-off dates will be affected by this extension. The extension will enable the parties 

to continue to engage in settlement discussions. An extension of the deadline is also necessary 

for the orderly preparation of this matter for trial in the event the case is not resolved in the near 

future. Based on the foregoing, there is good cause for the Court to grant the parties’ request. 

WHEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate and agree that the date to complete 

discovery shall be extended until September 25, 2006.
