SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

HIPOLITO M. CHACOAN, 

Plaintiff,

v. 

DR. ROHRER, et al., 

Defendants.

CIV. S-05-2276 FCD GGH PC 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND DEADLINE FOR FILING 

JOINT PRETRIAL STATEMENT 

Judge: Frank C. Damrell, Jr. 

Trial Date: September 14, 2010 

Action Filed: November 9, 2005 

The parties stipulate to extend the deadline for filing the parties’ Joint Pretrial Conference 

Statement until Wednesday, March 3, 2010. Pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), counsel request that 

the Court enter an order approving this stipulation extending time for the following reasons: 

1. Trial of this matter has been reset to September 14, 2010. 

2. There is presently no pretrial conference scheduled. 

3. The court has previously ordered that the parties file a Joint Pretrial Statement by 

February 12, 2010. The parties have circulated a draft statement, but have disagreements over 

wording, particularly concerning the core undisputed and disputed facts. Owing to pressing 

deadlines in other cases and other calendaring conflicts, the parties have been unable to resolve

their differences and require additional time to reach agreement on the wording of the joint 

statement. 

4. All counsel are working cooperatively, and the delay in finishing the joint statement 

is the result of honest disagreements and crowded and conflicting work schedules including: 

 a. Counsel for defendant Traquina, M.D. had an appellate brief due on February 4, 

2010, February 15 was a state holiday (with no staff available), and he was in Fresno for 

depositions noticed by another party in a state court matter on February 16 and 17. He has expert 

discovery in the same matter on February 22, and a summary judgment motion in another state 

court matter which must be filed by February 26. 

 b. Counsel for Defendant Naku, M.D. was out of the office from February 12 until 

February 19, and will also be gone from February 23-26 on depositions outside of Sacramento 

County in another matter. 

 c. Counsel for Plaintiff indicates that he has also had an extremely heavy 

workload in other matters. 

5. The parties are aware that they have previously requested extensions of time, and are 

asking for what they believe is sufficient time to overcome all remaining scheduling difficulties 

and finalize the joint statement. Accordingly, counsel request that the deadline for filing the Joint 

Pretrial Statement be extended to Wednesday, March 3, 2010. 

SO STIPULATED. 

Dated: February 19, 2010 Respectfully submitted,
