JOINT STIPULATION 

TO THE HONORABLE COURT: This Stipulation to continue, by three weeks, the 

deadline to file a joint status report, Rule 26(f) discovery plan, and to confer as required by Fed. 

R. Civ. P. 26(f) is made by and between Plaintiff Gary Saperstein and Defendant Greenberg 

Traurig, LLP (“Defendant”), with respect to the following facts: 

1. On February 11, 2016, Defendant removed this case from El Dorado Superior 

Court to this Court. 

2. On February 11, 2016, the Court entered an Order Requiring Joint Status Report 

requiring that, “[w]ithin sixty (60) days of ... the date of removal, the parties shall confer as 

required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(f) and shall prepare and submit to the Court a joint status report 

that includes the Rule 26(f) discovery plan.” Dkt. No., ¶4. 

3. Sixty days from the date of the removal is April 11, 2016. 

4. Defendant is currently in the process of transferring this file from counsel of 

record, Steptoe & Johnson LLP (“Steptoe”), to new counsel, Jenner & Block LLP (“Jenner”). 

5. Counsel of record Michael McNamara and Kirsten Spira are similarly in the 

process of transitioning from Steptoe to Jenner, and expect that process to be completed by midApril 2016. 

6. Counsel for Plaintiff and Defendant met and conferred on March 16, 2016 and 

agreed that for the convenience of the parties and their counsel of record and to maximize the 

efficiency of this case in light of the transition to new counsel, the deadlines set forth in the 

Court’s Order Requiring Joint Status Report should be continued three weeks to allow for the 

transition to new counsel to be completed.
