Case No. C 04-02255 MMC

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER TO AMEND PRETRIAL

PREPARATION ORDER

The parties to the above-entitled action stipulate, agree and request the court to amend the

Pretrail Preparation Order entered on May 2, 2005. At a status conference on June 24, 2003 the

Court confirmed the adoption of the parties’ revised discovery plan, including a September 2, 2005

mediation deadline and a medical expert disclosure deadline of September 16, 2005, consistent with

a Trial date of November 28, 2005 and a Pretrial Conference on November, 15, 2005. The proposed

and approved dates were necessitated by Mr. Maxie’s having undergone back surgery in March

2005, and in anticipation of his reaching maximum medical cure and permanent and stationary status

by mid July, 2005.

CURRENT STATUS

The parties are advised that Mr. Maxie’s medical condition is improving but that he is still

participating in physical therapy. Mr. Maxie’s surgeon has not opined as to a likely date by which

maximum cure will be achieved.

The parties have completed the liability phase of Mr. Maxie’s deposition and by stipulation

are deferring the medical and damage phase until he becomes permanent and stationary. In an effort

to maintain the current trail date despite the continuing uncertainty as to Mr. Maxie’s prognosis, the

parties propose revising the pre-trial order as follows:

JURY TRIAL DATE: November 28, 2005 at 9:00

a..m., Courtroom 7, 19th Floor;

NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY CUTOFF: September 30, 2005;

LAST DAY FOR FILING DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS: September 2, 2005;

EXPERT DISCLOSURE AND REPORTS October 14, 2005;

EXPERT DISCOVERY CUTOFF: October 28, 2005;

SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE: Private mediation or

settlement conference

conducted by Magistrate

Judge James Larson to be

completed by October 3,

2005;

PRETRIAL CONFERENCE: November 15, 2005 at 3:00

p.m.;

MEET AND CONFER: Lead trial counsel shall meet

and confer no later than

October 14, 2005.

Should Mr. Maxie’s recovery be further delayed, the parties will immediately advise the

Court and propose appropriate revisions to the current pretrial and trial dates.

Respectfully Submitted,
