STIPULATION EXTENDING DISCOVERY

DEADLINE and ORDER THEREON

Plaintiffs David Steverson, Terry Steverson, Tracy Steverson

and Deidra Cook (“plaintiffs”) and defendant United States of

America (“defendant”) stipulate, by and through the undersigned

counsel, to extending this action’s discovery deadline and

respectfully request that the Court so approve.

The parties seek to extend this action’s discovery deadline

by approximately 45 days, and as specifically set forth below. 

Good cause exists in support of this stipulation, and is based on

grounds including the following: 

First, this action’s presently discovery deadline is March

12, 2007. Defendant’s counsel recently completed a four week

STIPULATION EXTENDING DISCOVERY DEADLINE; [PROPOSED] ORDER

jury trial in Courtroom 2 (from January 17, 2007 through February

14, 2007). While in trial, he was unable to participate in

depositions relating to this case. As a result, he has been

unable thus far to depose each of this action’s four plaintiffs,

as well as any percipient witnesses whose significance to this

case would be discovered through those depositions. 

Second, plaintiffs’ responses to written discovery are not

due until next week. These responses may also reveal the

identities of additional percipient witnesses whose depositions

may need to be taken. Until defendant’s counsel has an

opportunity to review these responses, he will be unable to make

this determination. Third, and significantly, since the parties

seek only to move this action’s discovery deadline, no other

present deadline within the current litigation schedule will be

impacted.

Based on the above, the parties hereby stipulate to the

continuance of this action’s discovery deadline as specified

below. The parties also request the Court to endorse this

stipulation by way of formal order.
