STIPULATION AND APPLICATION

Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) and Local Rules 6-2, 

7-12, and 16-2(d), the parties hereby stipulate to the following in submitting this 

joint request to continue the trial and related dates:

1. The Complaint was filed November 25, 2015. On February 24, 2016 the 

Court issued a Civil Pretrial (scheduling) Order. (See Pacer Doc. 20.) 

2. Among other deadlines, the scheduling order set the trial date for March 

6, 2017 and a deadline to add parties of May 13, 2016.

3. Per the Court’s orders dated February 23, 2016 and April 11, 2016, the 

Parties were ordered to participate in mediation before July 29, 2016.

4. All parties in this case have stipulated and do hereby request a short 

continuance of all of the case deadlines, trial, and related dates.

In addition to the stipulation, good cause for the continuance exists because:

1. Third-Party Defendants DAVID SMITH and TRANS BAY 

INSURANCE AGENCY, INC. were named as parties on the last day to 

do so, May 13 ,2016 (see Pacer Doc. 23), and appeared in this case via 

Answer on June 23, 2016 (see Pacer Doc. 34). This leaves about four 

months in which to conduct discovery, which the parties do not expect to 

be sufficient time given the number of parties in the case, complexity of 

issues, and needs of the case. Additionally, the parties have not had 

sufficient time to investigate this matter before the current mediation 

deadline on July 29, 2016.

2. Trial is set for March 6, 2017 and a Pre-trial Conference is set for 

February 6, 2017, however counsel for Third-Party Defendants DAVID 

SMITH and TRANS BAY INSURANCE AGENCY, INC. already has a 

multi-week trial set to begin on February 6, 2017 and another multi-week 

trial set to begin on March 13, 2017, which dates conflict with the trial in 

this case.
