STIPULATION TO MODIFY PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER AND [PROPOSED] ORDER; CASE No. C-05-

4655MJJ 

 By this joint stipulation, Defendants Bank of America, National Association and Shawna 

Aguilar and Plaintiff Alvin Guillermo, by and through their counsel, respectfully request that the 

Court amend its Pretrial Order to postpone all pretrial dates by approximately 45 days, for the 

following reasons: 

 1. The parties have agreed that mediation is appropriate for this case, and seek to 

attempt to resolve the matter outside of Court. 

 2. The parties stipulated to use the Court’s ADR program, and have been scheduled to 

mediate the case on March 22, 2007 with Yolanda Jackson, Esq. 

 3. The parties do not wish to waste resources on expert reports or motion practice prior 

to mediating the case. 

 4. If mediation is not successful, Defendant anticipates filing a motion for summary 

judgment. The parties agree that they should attempt mediation before involving the Court in any 

dispositive motions. 

 5. The parties previously stipulated to extending certain deadlines in the case, although 

the trial date has not been moved. This Court granted the parties’ request on December 21, 2006. 

 6. Under the current pretrial order: 

• Expert reports are due to be exchanged on March 16; 

• Dispositive motions must be filed by March 27, 2007 (to be heard by May 1, 2007); 

• Expert discovery cutoff is April 16, 2007; 

• A settlement conference is scheduled with Magistrate Judge Chen on May 18, 2007; and 

• Trial is scheduled for June 4, 2007. 

 7. Because they are unable to mediate the case until late March, the parties hereby 

request that this Court enter an Order extending the deadline for expert reports, expert discovery, 

and the final date by which dispositive motions must be heard. 

 8. Therefore, the parties request that the Court amend the pretrial order to permit time 

to mediate the case in an effort to resolve it outside of Court. By this stipulation, the parties
