STIPULATION REGARDING EARLY MEDIATION AND REQUESTING EXTENSION TO CONDUCT 26(f) CONFERENCE 

AND TO FILE JOINT STATUS REPORT 

CASE NO. 2:15-cv-02426-JAM-CKD 

Winston & Strawn LLP 

101 California Street 

San Francisco, CA 94111-5802 

THIS STIPULATION is hereby entered into by and between Plaintiff German Tugas and 

Defendant Hill-Rom Company, Inc. (“Hill-Rom”) pursuant to Eastern District of California Local 

Rule 143(a)(1). 

RECITALS 

WHEREAS, the Court issued an Order on January 15, 2016 requiring the parties to meet and 

confer pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and to file a joint status report by February 

18, 2016 (dkt. 10); 

WHEREAS, the parties met and conferred and agreed that early mediation may be 

productive; 

WHEREAS, the parties have begun the process of finding a mediator and scheduling 

mediation to take place within the next few months (based on mediators’ availability); 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that a Rule 26(f) conference and joint status report 

would be more targeted and productive if they were completed after early mediation (if the case does 

not settle); 

WHEREAS, the parties do not seek this continuance for purposes of delay, but, rather, to 

efficiently and thoroughly manage the case in regards to timelines, substance, and procedure; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby stipulate to, and request that the Court order, that 

the parties’ deadline to meet and confer pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) and their 

deadline to file a joint status report shall be extended 60 days to enable time for mediation, to April 

18, 2016. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
