Case No. 2:14-cv-02307 JAM/CKD 

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE 

SCHEDULING ORDER DATES; 

ORDER 

Plaintiff Ezell Anderson, Jr., doing business as, Mom’s Choice Meats (“Plaintiff”), and 

Defendant United States (“Defendant”), (collectively “the parties”), stipulate, by and through the 

undersigned counsel, to extend the expert and discovery dates in this action to allow for newly 

associated counsel on behalf of Plaintiff to become familiar with the matter. Additionally, good 

cause exists for this brief extension of the discovery and expert report dates as the parties 

meaningfully engaged in settlement negotiations, including but not limited to two settlement 

conferences, with Magistrate Judge Delaney. Despite the efforts of the parties and the court, 

settlement was not achieved, and the parties are now diligently pursuing written discovery and 

depositions for which a brief extension of the expert and discovery dates is required.

The parties submit that this request is being made for good cause as newly associated counsel 

needs time to learn the matter and the parties were unsuccessful in their attempt to resolve the case 

prior to extensive discovery, depositions and pre-trial disclosures. This stipulation does not affect 

any other dates in the Scheduling Order (Docket No. 19). 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate and agree to continue the following dates, and base it on the 

above-stated good cause. 

Old Date New Date 

Expert Disclosure October 17, 2015 December 2, 2015 

Supplemental Expert Disclosure October 30, 2015 December 15, 2015

The parties request the court to endorse this stipulation by way of formal order.
