UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRESNO DIVISION

TRI-DAM,

Plaintiff,

v.

ANDREANA MICHAEL,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:11-cv-02138-AWI-SMS

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND 

NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY DEADLINE

TO COMPLETE PREVIOUSLY SERVED 

DISCOVERY 

Plaintiff Tri-Dam (“Tri-Dam”) and defendant Andreana Michael (“Michael”), by and 

through their respective counsel of record, hereby submit the following Stipulation and Proposed 

Order To Extend Non-Expert Discovery Deadline To Complete Previously Served Discovery. 

RECITALS

1. This action commenced on December 27, 2011, with the filing of Tri-Dam’s 

Complaint. 

2. The Complaint seeks a permanent injunction against Michael related to shoreline 

improvements on real property she owns in Calaveras County.

3. Michael answered the Complaint on April 19, 2012.

4. The Court’s Scheduling Order provided for a February 15, 2013, non-expert 

discovery deadline.

STIPULATION AND (PROPOSED) ORDER TO EXTEND NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY DEADLINES

5. On December 28, 2012, Tri-Dam’s counsel mailed Requests for Production of 

Documents, Interrogatories, and Requests for Admissions, Set One (“Written Discovery”), to 

Michael’s counsel at the correct street address, but inadvertently addressed to their old suite 

number (Suite 101), instead of the current one (Suite 900). The Written Discovery was not 

returned as undeliverable. On February 4, 2013, Tri-Dam’s counsel inquired why they had not 

received responses to the Written Discovery. On February 5, Michael’s counsel notified TriDam’s counsel that they had not received the Written Discovery by mail and that they believed 

service was improper. Tri-Dam re-served its Written Discovery requests to Michael at the correct 

suite number that same day. If February 5, 2013, is used as the date of service, Michael’s 

responses to the Written Discovery would be due on March 12, 2013. 

6. On January 17, 2013, Tri-Dam noticed Michael’s deposition and the deposition of

John Lupo (“Lupo”) for February 15. Michael’s counsel subsequently informed Tri-Dam’s 

counsel that he was not available to attend the depositions on that day. On February 1, Michael 

noticed Tri-Dam’s deposition on an unspecified date. The parties met and conferred and agreed 

to reschedule the depositions for February 19, 2013, and, if necessary, February 20, 2013. 

7. In order to accommodate the schedules of the parties and counsel, and to avoid 

burdening the Court with motion practice, the parties agree to complete Michael’s, Lupo’s, and 

Tri-Dam’s depositions, as well as Tri-Dam’s Written Discovery, after the current February 15, 

2013, non-expert discovery deadline. Accordingly, Tri-Dam and Michael believe good cause 

exists for a continuance of the current non-expert discovery deadline to March 12, 2013, for the 

limited purpose of completing this previously served discovery. 

STIPULATION

Based on the foregoing recitals, Tri-Dam and Michael hereby STIPULATE that: 

1. The non-expert discovery deadline is continued from February 15, 2013, to March 

12, 2013, for the limited purpose of completing previously served discovery.

STIPULATION AND (PROPOSED) ORDER TO EXTEND NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY DEADLINES

2. Michael’s and Lupo’s depositions will occur on February 19, 2013. Upon 

completion of those depositions, on February 19, 2013, and February 20, 2013, if necessary, 

Michael will take Tri-Dam’s deposition.

3. Tri-Dam agrees that Michael’s responses to the Written Discovery will be timely 

so long as they are served on or before March 12, 2013. Michael agrees that the Written 

Discovery is not untimely based on the original February 15, 2013, non-expert discovery 

deadline. 

4. This continuance of the deadline to complete previously served non-expert 

discovery will not affect any other deadlines in this action.

5. All remaining dates and deadlines as set by the Court in its September 10, 2012, 

Scheduling Order, are otherwise unaffected by this Stipulation and Proposed Order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
