Hon. Richard Seeborg

[PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING 

DEADLINES

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-1 and 6-2, Plaintiff Kathie Sonner (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant 

Premier Nutrition Corporation (“Defendant”), through their respective counsel of record 

(collectively, “the Parties”), hereby stipulate and agree, subject to the Court’s approval, as follows:

Management Scheduling Order [ECF No. 66];

WHEREAS, the deadline to complete discovery of those experts is currently set for March 

13, 2015 per the Court’s Case Management Scheduling Order [ICF No. 66]; 

 WHEREAS, with the benefit of the exchange of each Parties’ expert reports, the Parties 

have agreed to renew settlement discussions at a mediation with Hon. Carl J. West (Ret.) at JAMS; 

 WHEREAS, the mediation is set for April 9, 2015, the earliest date practical given the 

Parties’ and the mediator’s schedule; 

WHEREAS, the Parties seek a three-month extension of the expert discovery deadline so 

that they may postpone the depositions of their six experts and give the Parties time to focus their 

efforts on settlement; 

WHEREAS, this request is made in good faith as an extension is necessary to allow the 

Parties sufficient time to prepare for and conduct a mediation and, then, complete expert discovery 

after the mediation (if the mediation proves unsuccessful); 

WHEREAS, if this request is granted, it will be the fourth extension of case deadlines 

granted by the Court (the first extension was in connection with a stay of this case for an early 

mediation that proved unsuccessful, the second extension was requested because the Parties were 

unable to schedule key party depositions prior to discovery deadlines; and the third extension was in 

connection with Plaintiff’s request to substitute the named plaintiff); 

WHEREAS, this extension will not affect any pre-trial or trial dates as no dates have been 

set for trial; 

WHEREAS, the requested extension, however, will affect the deadline to file opening 

memoranda in support of motions for summary judgment and class certification, which currently is 

set for May 8, 2015; 

WHEREAS, the Parties also request that the deadline to file opening memoranda in support 

of motions for summary judgment and class certification be extended by three months, from May 8, 

2015 to August 7, 2015; and, 

WHEREAS, a Case Management Conference is scheduled to be held on March 19, 2015, at 

10:00 am, and the Parties request that it be postponed until after the mediation scheduled for April 

9, 2015.
