 In accordance with Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff Marifi Bautista (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Aon 

Benfield Inc. and Aon Service Corporation (“Defendants”) hereby stipulate and jointly move this 

Court for a brief extension of the mediation completion deadline set by this Court. The Parties request 

that the mediation completion deadline previously set for March 31, 2010 be extended through April 

23, 2010. 

As grounds for this motion the Parties state the following: 

1. This is a claim for Employment Discrimination, Violation of the Equal Pay Act; 

Retaliation; Failure to Prevent Discrimination and Wrongful Termination related to Plaintiff’s 

employment with Defendants. 

2. The first Case Management Conference in this case took place on November 23, 2009. 

At that Case Management Conference the Court ordered that private mediation in this case had to be 

completed by March 31, 2010 and that prior to this mediation the parties were limited to three 

depositions each and fifteen interrogatories and requests for production. 

3. Discovery is actively underway. Plaintiff and Defendants have propounded written 

discovery to each other and will begin scheduling depositions shortly. 

4. Defendants’ counsel, Erica Kelley, has a trial scheduled in Contra Costa County 

beginning on March 18, 2010, which is anticipated to be three to four weeks in length.. 

5. Given Defense counsel’s unavailability at the end of March and early April, the Parties 

do not believe they will be able to complete a meaningful mediation before the Court’s deadline. 

6. The parties have a mediation scheduled with Michael J. Loeb for April 23, 2010. 

7. The Parties therefore request that the Court grant the Parties a brief extension to this 

deadline, with the new deadline by which mediation must be completed as April 23, 2010. 

8. This is the first request for an extension to any deadline in this case. 

9. The only other date scheduled by the Court in this case is a further Case Management 

Conference on April 26, 2010. This date will not need to be changed as the parties will have 

completed the mediation prior to this date. 

10. Since both Parties stipulate to and join this motion, no party is prejudiced by this 

extension.
