UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Defendant.

Case No. C 06-3853 PJH

E-Filing Case

STIPULATION TO ENLARGE

DEADLINE TO COMPLETE

MEDIATION

[PROPOSED ORDER]

Parties stipulate to the following, subject to the approval of the Court:

The current deadline for mediation is enlarged from February 29, 2008, until ninety (90)

days after the date of filing of the Court’s order on the parties’ cross-motions for summary

judgment.

Parties are requesting an enlargement of time for the mediation of this case because

parties’ cross-motions for summary judgment are currently under submission with the Court. 

Parties contend that mediation of this case prior to receipt of this Court’s order on the

outstanding jurisdictional issues would be futile. Additionally, enlargement of the mediation

deadline to 90 days after the date of the Court’s order will allow time for the parties to conduct

discovery on damages so as to make the mediation more meaningful. At this time, no discovery

on damages has been conducted by either party because discovery was bifurcated between

liability and damages pending a ruling on the issues presented in the cross-motions for summary

judgment.

Parties have already agreed to a private mediator. There are no other dates currently

calendared for this case so this will not cause any undue delay in trial scheduling. 

For the foregoing reasons, the parties stipulate to enlarge the deadline to complete the

mediation to ninety (90) days after the date of filing of the Court’s order on the parties’ crossmotions for summary judgment.

This is the sixth request to enlarge deadlines in this matter.
