Second Stipulation and [Proposed] Order for Relief from Case Management Schedule - 4:07-cv-04485-CW

WHEREAS, on July 3, 2008, the Court entered a minute order and case management order

setting (“CM Order”), among other things, deadlines pertaining to discovery, and the date of trial;

WHEREAS, on October 15, 2009, the parties filed a proposed Stipulation and [Proposed] Order

for Relief from Case Management Schedule Pursuant to Local Rule 16-2(d);

WHEREAS, on October 19, 2009, the Court entered its Order Revising Case Management

Schedule;

WHEREAS, on January 5, 2010, the parties filed a Second Stipulation and [Proposed] Order for

Relief from Case Management Schedule Pursuant to Local Rule 16-2(d);

WHEREAS, on January 25, 2010, the Court entered its Order Revising Case Management

Schedule;

WHEREAS, on December 9, 2009, Plaintiffs noticed the deposition Chris Lombardi, the

principal at Defendant Lending 1st Mortgage (“Lending 1st”), along with requests to produce

documents;

WHEREAS, on January 5, 2010, Lending 1st provided supplemental responses to Plaintiffs’

discovery which stated that “Responding Party no longer has any documents related to this action as all

documents responsive to this request have been lost or destroyed”; 

WHEREAS, after protracted meet-and-confer efforts, and numerous continuances, the deposition

of Chris Lombardi was finally taken on May 18, 2010, but was not concluded after it was revealed that a

computer server exists, and that the deponent had made no effort to search the server for relevant

documents that would be responsive to the document requests included in the deposition notice. 

Counsel for Defendant Lending 1st, has subsequently provided a list of fields and the parties are

working on searches to extract relevant information concerning the Class;

WHEREAS, the parties anticipate that they will require additional time to complete this

discovery because the server is likely to contain relevant information that has not yet been produced by

Lending 1st, 

THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate to, and request that the Court approve, an extension

of the deadlines in the Court’s Order Revising Case Management Schedule as follows:
