Case No. C 05-00225 CW 

 Third Stip. and [Prop.] Order Extending Case 

Deadlines 

WHEREAS, Defendants’ counsel is still in the process of producing certain documents to 

Plaintiff’s counsel, and the Parties are currently attempting to resolve several outstanding issues 

relating to responses to discovery; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff represents that his counsel has contacted counsel for non-party 

Watson Wyatt regarding the scheduling of a deposition of a custodian of records. In lieu of a 

deposition of a Watson Wyatt custodian of records, the Parties and non-Party Watson Wyatt have 

agreed that the Watson Wyatt custodian of records may authenticate the documents in its 

possession in the form of a declaration. Nothing in this stipulation shall be considered a waiver 

of Defendants’ ability to object to the introduction of documents from Watson Wyatt on any 

ground other than authenticity or that the testimony was by means of declaration rather than 

deposition or in person at trial. 

WHEREAS, the relief requested in this Stipulation will not delay the resolution of this 

case because it does not seek to re-set the dates for the Final Pre-Trial Conference or Trial. In 

fact, the proposed date for the hearing on the cross motions for summary judgment is 

approximately five months before the trial date. 

NOW THEREFORE, FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, THE PARTIES HEREBY 

STIPULATE and AGREE that only the following case-related deadlines shall be extended as 

follows: 

1. The Parties agree that the Watson Wyatt custodian of records may authenticate the 

documents it has produced in this case and provide other foundational information by declaration 

as if made via deposition. If Watson Wyatt does not provide such a declaration, Plaintiff may 

petition this Court for leave to telephonically depose the Watson Wyatt custodian of records after 

the date for completion of discovery. Defendants will not oppose such a request, so long as the 

request is made by Monday, February 20, 2006. 

2. The deadline for either Plaintiff or Defendants to file a motion to compel any 

outstanding discovery shall be extended to 7 calendar days after the opposing side advises that it 

has provided all discovery which it intends to provide pursuant to any previously served 

document requests and/or interrogatories.
