Stipulation and Proposed Order Continuing Hearing Date for Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and 

Motion to Strike, Action No. C-04-01946-VRW

DOCSSFO-12428751.1

Pursuant to this Court’s October 24, 2005 Case Scheduling Order, the last day to file 

and serve dispositive motions was scheduled for January 26, 2006, and the last day for hearings on 

dispositive motions was scheduled for March 2, 2006. On January 26, 2006, Defendant Paragon 

Industries, Inc. (“Paragon”) filed its Motion for Summary Judgment. Due to technical difficulties, 

the Motion itself was not filed until shortly before midnight and its supporting papers, including an 

evidentiary objection in the way of a Motion to Strike, were filed between midnight and 5:12 a.m. on 

January 27, 2006. Additionally, Paragon refiled its Motion papers on Saturday, March 28, 2006 

pursuant to ECF instructions because it inadvertently docketed a March 3, 2006 hearing date (instead 

of March 2, 2006 as set by the Court in its October 24, 2005 Case Scheduling Order), and because it 

mistakenly filed wrong .pdf files and omitted three exhibits. 

Plaintiff Walker & Zanger, Inc. (“Walker Zanger”) has objected to Paragon’s Motion 

for Summary Judgment and Motion to Strike as untimely – contending that it was not provided the 

requisite thirty-five days notice for a March 2, 2006 hearing and that it did not receive certain 

exhibits until two days after the original filing deadline. Paragon disputes Walker & Zanger’s 

objections because it believes Walker & Zanger suffered no prejudice for three reasons: (1) the 

refiled papers contain no substantive changes, (2) all papers other than the omitted exhibits were 

filed before the start of business on January 27, 2006, and (3) Walker & Zanger reasonably should 

have known that the March 3, 2006 date was in error as it had been on notice of the March 2, 2006 

hearing date since October 24, 2005. 

In an effort to resolve their differences without unnecessarily taking the Court’s time 

and resources, the parties have met and conferred and agreed to stipulate to continuing the hearing 

date for the Motion for Summary Judgment and Motion to Strike one week, until March 9, 2006. 

The parties note that this continuance will not impact the Court’s existing schedule for pretrial and 

trial dates. Accordingly, the parties stipulate to the following deadlines and respectfully request that 

they be approved by this Court:
