Defendants.

Case No. C-02-4748 JW

STIPULATED REQUEST TO MODIFY 

SCHEDULING ORDER AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Plaintiff Stanley Miller (“Miller”) and Defendants Pixar Animation Studios, Disney 

Enterprises, Inc., and Chronicle Books, LLC (“Defendants”), stipulate and jointly request that the 

Court modify the Scheduling Order dated November 28, 2005 (the “November 28, 2005 

Scheduling Order”) to set the remaining case management dates. The parties make this request 

pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2 and 7-11, and a declaration supporting this motion is submitted 

herewith. The parties request this modification for the following reasons:

• Following entry of the November 28, 2005 Scheduling Order, the parties have worked 

diligently to complete damages discovery and have made further progress. They have not, 

however, completed that discovery process.

• As set forth in their stipulation of November 23, 2005, the parties have met and conferred and 

agreed to further dates that they believe will enable them to efficiently complete damages

discovery.

(Declaration of David R. Eberhart In Support of Stipulated Request ¶¶ 2-3.) Accordingly, the 

parties stipulate and request that the Court modify the following paragraphs of the November 28,

2005 Scheduling Order as follows:

B. Disclosure of Damages Expert Witnesses

5. Any party objecting to the qualifications or proposed testimony of a damages 

expert must file, serve and notice a motion to exclude the damages expert or any portion of the 

damages expert’s testimony in writing in accordance with Civil Local Rule 7-2, for hearing no 

later than March 27, 2006 at 9:00 a.m.

C. Rebuttal Damages Expert Witnesses

6. If the testimony of the damages expert is intended solely to contradict or rebut 

opinion testimony on the same subject matter identified by another party, the party proffering a 

rebuttal damages expert shall make the disclosures required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2)(B), no later 

than January 27, 2006.

E. Close of Discovery

8. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 26-2, all discovery, including supplemental disclosures and

depositions of expert witnesses, must be completed by February 17, 2006.

F. Last Date for Hearing Dispositive Motions

9. The last day for hearing dispositive motions is March 20, 2006 at 9:00 a.m. Any 

motions must be noticed in accordance with the Local Rules of this Court.

None of the dates set in this order may be changed without an order of the Court made 

after a motion is duly filed and made pursuant to the local rules of this Court.

The parties acknowledge that the proposed deadlines for the hearing of dispositive 

motions and of motions to exclude damages expert testimony would cause those hearings to take 

place after the March 13, 2006 preliminary pretrial and trial setting conference. Because the

parties do not know whether any such motions will be filed, they are not requesting that the Court 

continue at this time the dates for the filing of the preliminary pretrial and trial setting conference 

statement or for the preliminary pretrial and trial setting conference. If any such motions are

events to new agreed dates that fall after the hearings on any pending motions.

The parties make this request for good cause and not for the purpose of delay. The Court 

has previously modified the schedule in this case pursuant to the parties’ stipulated request on 

June 20, 2003, July 31, 2003, October 23, 2003, January 15, 2004, October 13, 2004, November
