JOINT STIP TO VACATE DATES IN PRETRIAL 

SCHEDULING ORDER & RE-ISSUE AFTER VDRP

Callahan v. Pinnacle Property Management Services

Case No. 2:16-cv-01862-MCE-EFB

WHEREAS, PINNACLE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, LLC and 

PINNACLE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES PIER 70 (collectively referred to as 

“Defendants”) and BRENNA CALLAHAN (“Plaintiff”) (collectively the “Parties”);

WHEREAS, the Court filed its Revised Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order (“Pretrial 

Scheduling Order”) on August 12, 2016;

WHEREAS, due the Parties’ interest in early settlement efforts, the Court granted on 

October 24, 2016, the Parties’ stipulation to continue the deadline of filing the Rule 26(f)(3) 

discovery plan (“Discovery Plan”), as mandated by the Pretrial Scheduling Order, to December 

16, 2016; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have continued to confer and still mutually desire to explore 

early resolution of this action and avoid unnecessary expenditure of time and fees on formal 

litigation;

WHEREAS, as a result, the Parties have filed on December 15, 2016, their Stipulation to 

Elect Referral of Action to Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program Pursuant to Local Rule 271; 

and

WHEREAS, should the Parties not resolve this matter through the VDRP, Plaintiff 

anticipates filing a Motion to Remand and Defendants anticipate filing a Motion to Compel 

Arbitration, and the Parties further acknowledge that the granting of either Motion could result in 

this Court losing jurisdiction over this matter.

THEREFORE, good cause exists for this stipulation and order to vacate the dates in the 

existing Pretrial Scheduling Order and re-issue an updated Pretrial Scheduling Order if resolution 

efforts through the VDRP are unsuccessful, so that the Parties may explore potential settlement 

prior to incurring further litigation fees and costs.

WHEREFORE, the Parties hereby jointly stipulate and request an order as follows:

The dates and deadlines enumerated in the existing Pretrial Scheduling Order are vacated, 

and an updated Pretrial Scheduling Order will be issued by the Court after the Parties’ completion 

of the VDRP if the Parties are unable to resolve the matter therein.
