District Judge: Hon. Oliver W. Wanger

Magistrate Judge: Hon. Dennis L. Beck

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR

EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY CUT-OFF

TO THE HONORABLE COURT AND TO ALL PARTIES:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between Defendant GLOBAL CREDIT &

COLLECTION, CORP. ("Defendant") and Plaintiff LAURA TONARELLI (“Plaintiff”), through

their respective counsel of record , as follows:

1. WHEREAS, on July 2, 2010, this Court entered its Scheduling Order. The

before the discovery cut-off.

are currently scheduled for before the discovery cut-off. 

4. WHEREAS the parties agree that the depositions of Plaintiff and Defendant’s

designated representative may provide sufficient information to facilitate settlement. However, the

parties agree that discovery in this case may require depositions of multiple various third party

witnesses to the events alleged in Plaintiff’s Complaint. 

5. WHEREAS, the majority of these contemplated third party depositions will not be

able to be scheduled before the current discovery cut-off. 

6. WHEREAS, in light of the attorney fee provision in the Fair Debt Collection

Practices Act (“FDCPA”) as alleged in Plaintiff’s Complaint, if the parties are forced to take these

third party depositions prematurely in order to avoid the discovery cut-off, the parties will incur

substantial litigation expenses, and the costs of discovery will make it prohibitive for the parties to

settle after that time.

7. WHEREAS, pursuant to foregoing and below, and in the Declaration of David J.

Kaminski filed concurrently herewith, good cause has been shown, the parties respectfully request

that this Court continue the discovery cut-off for a period of approximately sixty (60) days up to

March 31, 2011.

8. WHEREAS, trial in this case is set for June 21, 2011.

9. WHEREAS, this is the first request for an extension of time by any party to this

case. This request for an extension is not to cause any delay but to facilitate the resolution of this

case by settlement before exorbitant attorneys fees and costs are incurred by the parties which will

hinder settlement negotiations.

Respectfully submitted,
