The parties, Plaintiffs Mt. McKinley Insurance Company and Everest Reinsurance

 2 Case No. C09-03857-CW

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF FACT 

DISCOVERY 

completion of fact discovery for July 23, 2010 (Dkt. No. 42) in accordance with the parties’ 

proposal as set forth in the parties’ Updated Joint Case Management Statement (Dkt. No. 41). 

2. Since the April 6, 2010 CMC, the parties have in good faith met and conferred 

telephonically and over e-mail to discuss proposed fact and policy stipulations on which their 

cross-motions for summary judgment may be based. The parties have exchanged and are still in 

the process of exchanging drafts of proposed fact and policy stipulations. 

3. The ADR Local Rule 5 early neutral evaluation (“ENE”) session for this case is 

currently set for June 30, 2010. On June 18, 2010, the parties exchanged ENE briefs. 

4. The parties believe that a brief extension of the deadline to complete fact discovery 

from July 23, 2010 to August 13, 2010 will provide the parties with sufficient time to continue 

their good-faith negotiations over proposed fact and policy stipulations, but will not delay the 

current schedule for briefing their cross-motions for summary judgment currently set to be heard 

on September 30, 2010. The parties also wish to defer the costs of additional discovery until after 

the June 30, 2010 ENE session. The parties believe that this brief extension will not interfere 

with, but will actually promote, the efficient resolution of this case. 

5. For the reasons set forth above, the parties hereby stipulate, and respectfully 

request that the Court grant their request, to extend the deadline to complete fact discovery from 

July 23, 2010 to August 13, 2010.
