STIPULATION AND ORDER RE: 

DISCOVERY AND EXPERT CUTOFF DATES 

 

 

The parties to this case, through their counsel, have engaged in substantial document 

production and have discussed mutually agreeable schedules for deposing the percipient 

witnesses. Counsel also have had substantive discussions regarding the possibility of 

settlement, and Plaintiffs have now provided Defendants a settlement demand. 

Now that Plaintiffs have made a settlement demand, the parties, in consultation with their 

respective counsel, have agreed to diligently explore settlement possibilities and the avoidance 

of unnecessary deposition and discovery related costs, in both this case and the related case,

Wolf v. County of San Joaquin, Civil Action No. 2:06-CV-00047-WBS-KJM (the “Related 

Case”). 

Defendants require a short amount of additional time to investigate the facts of the case 

and to report and consult with principles, including the County Board of Supervisors, to 

respond to Plaintiffs’ settlement demand. 

It is the parties’ desire to explore a global settlement of all claims of all parties in both 

this case and the Related Case, and they believe that extending the discovery cut off dates in 

both cases will allow them better to focus on the possibility of settlement. It is not the intention 

of the parties to continue the trial date or any other dates, other than as expressly set forth in 

this Stipulation. 

 Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree as follows, and request this Court order 

same: 

1. The non-expert discovery cut-off date be moved to April 3, 2007. 

2. The plaintiff’s expert disclosure cut-off date be moved to April 17, 2007. 

3. The defendant’s expert disclosure cut-off date be moved to May 3, 2007. 

4. The cut-off date for all pretrial motions except temporary restraining orders or other 

emergency applications and motions for continuances be moved to May 5, 2007. 

5. The rebuttal expert disclosure cut-off date be moved to June 1, 2007. 

6. Defendants have agreed to promptly communicate to Plaintiffs whether they have 

obtained authority to settle on the terms demanded by plaintiffs, or alternatively that the 

settlement demand is denied. The parties have further agreed not to conduct depositions until 

Defendants have communicated their response to Plaintiffs’ settlement demand, or beginning 

January 1st, 2007, whichever comes first. However, they will coordinate deposition dates for
