STIPULATION CASE NO.: 2:08-CV-02558-WBS-GGH 

Plaintiffs and counter-defendants DALE M. WALLIS, D.V.M., JAMES L. WALLIS and 

HYGIEIA BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES, INC. (collectively referred to herein as the 

“Plaintiffs”), and defendants and counter-claimants CENTENNIAL INSURANCE COMPANY, 

INC., and ATLANTIC MUTUAL INSURANCE CO., INC. (collectively referred to herein as the 

“Defendants”), all parties to the above-captioned action, stipulate to the following: 

 On May 1, 2012, the Court issued a Further Scheduling Order [Doc. 141] setting the 

discovery cut-off date in the above-captioned matter as September 28, 2012. Thereafter, on 

September 11, 2012, the Defendants noticed the depositions of the following to take place in Walnut 

Creek, California, on September 28, 2012: 

1) Dale M. Wallis, D.V.M., at 8:00 a.m.; 

2) James L. Wallis at 10:00 a.m.; 

3) Person most knowledgeable (5 categories) for Hygieia Biological Laboratories at 12:00 

p.m.; 

4) Attorney Joanna R. Mendoza at 2:00 p.m.; 

5) Attorney Joel C. Baiocchi at 4:00 p.m. 

Each deposition was noticed to “continue from day to day, Sundays and holidays excepted, at the 

same time and location, until completed or unless the parties agree on other mutually convenient 

dates.” 

 On September 13, 2012, Joel Baiocchi, co-counsel for the Plaintiffs, notified Gary Selvin, 

attorney for the Defendants, that he was unavailable through September 24, 2012, for a scheduled 

vacation before he went in for surgery to remove a blockage in his right carotid artery on September 

25, 2012. Recovery at the hospital would take 2 to 3 days, and Mr. Baiocchi’s surgeon has advised 

that he should not return to work for three to four weeks following the surgery. Therefore, he would 

not be available for his deposition before the close of discovery. 

 On September 21, 2012, Joanna Mendoza, co-counsel for the Plaintiffs, notified Gary Selvin 

that Dr. Wallis was unavailable on September 28, 2012, for her deposition due to a previously 

scheduled business conference in Wisconsin that she was attending the first week in October and 

several appointments on September 28 that had to be completed in preparation for that trip. In

addition, on that date she was the only person available to provide transportation to and from school 

for her child. 

 Because of the unavailability of Joel Baiocchi and Dr. Wallis to have their depositions taken 

on September 28, 2012, the parties have reached a stipulation to move the depositions previously 

scheduled for that date to November 5, 2012. If a second day is necessary it has been agreed that the 

second day will be held in Sacramento, preferably at a conference room in the attorney lounge at the 

federal courthouse if one is available.
