No. 3 has collective bargaining agreements, occasional labor disputes, and labor union organizing 

drives. Littler Mendelson frequently represents employers on the opposite side of labor disputes 

with Operating Engineers Local Union No. 3.

3. On September 19, 2005, the ADR unit advised the parties that it will provide a new 

evaluator, however, the new evaluator may not be able to schedule an Early Neutral Evaluation 

session prior to the current deadline of October 16, 2005. The ADR unit requested we contact the 

court about extending the deadline.

4. The trial date is scheduled for May 22, 2006; and, the non-expert discovery cutoff is 

Dec. 9, 2005.

5. For these reasons, the parties are in agreement that the deadline to complete the 

early neutral evaluation session should be extended by sixty (60) days. 

6. Therefore, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-1 and 7-11 and ADR Local Rule 5-5, the 

parties jointly request the Court extend the deadline for conducting the early neutral evaluation by 

sixty (60) days, which is by the date of December 16, 2005.
