UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA, FRESNO DIVISION 

APRIL LINDBLOM, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

SANTANDER CONSUMER USA INC., et 

al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 1:15-cv-00990-LJO-BAM

JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO EXTEND FACT DISCOVERY 

DEADLINE

Judge: Hon. Barbara A. McAuliffe 

Trial Date: TBD 

Come now the Parties in the above-styled case and jointly move this Court to extend the 

deadline for fact discovery, currently scheduled for November 11, 2016, to January 20, 2017, 

which is also the current deadline for expert discovery. Because there are no experts disclosed in 

this matter, there is no reason to have the expert discovery period, which provides the Parties 

ample opportunity to complete fact discovery. 

The Parties require additional time to schedule the depositions of Plaintiffs and 

Defendant’s corporative representative(s). Plaintiff Timothy Lindblom has been unavailable due to 

his employment related to fighting wildfires, which has taken him away from home for several 

months, and made him unavailable for deposition. As a result, the Parties have postponed 

scheduling depositions of the Plaintiffs in order to maximize efficiency and avoid duplicate travel 

of the Parties’ respective counsel.

The Parties have tentatively scheduled the depositions of Plaintiffs for January 5–6, 2017, 

in or around Fresno, California, and expect to schedule the deposition(s) of Defendant’s corporate 

representative(s) shortly after the Court approves this extension. Additionally, the Parties have 

amicably engaged in extensive meet-and-confer efforts in order to complete all necessary written 

discovery. 

The parties do not at this time request any other changes to the Court’s set deadlines, and 

reiterate that extending the fact discovery deadline to January 20, 2017, will not affect other 

remaining Court deadlines. Should the Court wish to discuss this issue further, the Parties’ 

respective counsel will make themselves available for a teleconference.
