Case No. C-07-03861 PJH

v. STIPULATION AND PROPOSED

AND RELATED CROSS-CLAIMS. /

The parties hereto, through the undersigned consents of their counsel of record, do

hereby agree and respectfully request that the trial date in this seaman's injury action,

presently June 22, 2009, be reset for November of 2009, or sometime thereafter, and that

all pretrial dates be rescheduled in accordance with the new trial date. The parties have

not previously sought to extend any dates in this case, and do not anticipate requesting

any further extension.

Plaintiff’s deposition has been convened, but not yet completed; the records of the

initially disclosed medical providers have been obtained; plaintiff has responded to

written discovery by the United States; plaintiff has been given releases for additional

records; and the parties are cooperating to schedule depositions of some of the key

percipient witnesses in the immediate future. However, additional percipient witnesses

and medical providers were recently discovered; witnesses are mostly not local and are

scattered across the United States, and deposing them will entail numerous trips to

other states; and coordinating counsel's schedules for discovery in this multi-party case

has presented some difficulties. Given the amount of discovery remaining, the parties

are particularly concerned that the mediation, which is set for August 25, 2008 may not

be productive at this point, and should be continued for at least three months.

Should the Court not be inclined to grant this joint request to continue all dates

approximately five months, the parties request that a further case management

conference be convened in the near future for the purpose of discussing scheduling.
