DON CALHOUN, 

Plaintiff,

v.

NATIONAL MACHINERY LLC

Defendant.

Case No.: C 05-03287 RS

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER RE HEARING DATE FOR

MOTION FOR SUMMARY

JUDGMENT

Complaint filed: July 1, 2005

Counsel report that they have met and conferred regarding the current hearing date for a

motion for summary judgment in the above entitled matter and have reached the following

agreement and stipulation pursuant to FRCP 16(c) subject to approval by the Court.

1. The parties to this matter have worked diligently to secure the necessary

depositions of persons most knowledgeable from Defendant National Machinery LLC regarding

issues central to a motion for summary judgment on successor liability, including but not limited to

the acquisition of assets, products, product lines, trademarks, logos, employees, orders,

communications, plans, customer lists, acquired rights, and manufacturing. Documents are also

sought on each of the issues.

Stipulation and [Proposed] Order re Hearing Date C 05-03287 RS

2. Due to circumstances beyond their control and having to consider the schedules of

a number of persons, such depositions cannot be taken until March 15 and 16, 2006 although

originally contemplated in January or February 2006. 

3. After the initial pretrial conference in this matter, the Court issued the Case

Management Scheduling Order designating April 26, 2006 as the hearing date for the Defendant’s

Motion for Summary Judgment with the motion to be filed and served pursuant to Civil Local Rule

7. 

4. That given the unavoidable delay in the taking of the depositions now confirmed for

March and the further notice for further documents, the parties agree that the April 25, 2006 date for

the hearing of Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment would be premature. 

5. The parties agree that a delay of the hearing on the Motion for Summary Judgment

to May 10, 2006 would allow both sides to fully explore the testimony and documents to be

presented at the depositions in March and not prejudice either side or change any other dates set forth

in the Scheduling Order.

6. The parties respectfully request that the Court find that this request and stipulation

is in good faith, that the parties have shown due diligence, that the delay in the depositions in Ohio

were not reasonably anticipated, and that a prompt request for the modification of the Scheduling

Order has been made.
