EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHIERFUE HER and GE XIONG,

Plaintiffs,

v.

STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY, and 

DOES 1 to 20,

Defendant.

CASE NO. 1:13-CV-01095-AWI-GSA

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

PARTIALLY REVISE THE COURT’S 

CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER TO 

EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINES

AND TO CONTINUE THE HEARING ON

SUMMARY JUDGMENT

Plaintiffs and State Farm General Insurance Company (“State Farm”), by and through their

I.

RECITALS

1. The parties have been working diligently toward moving this case forward in an 

efficient, expeditious manner. The parties wish to litigate this matter in a cost effective manner and

ORDER AND TO CONTINUE THE MSJ HEARING - CASE NO. 1:13-CV-01095-AWI-GSA

avoid unnecessary attorney fees and costs. 

2. The parties have exchanged their initial disclosures pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P., Rule 26 

and have exchanged written discovery requests. Plaintiffs have responded to State Farm’s written 

discovery and State Farm’s responses to plaintiffs’ written discovery is due on March 24, 2014.

3. The current deadline to complete non-expert discovery is March 28, 2014. Expert 

disclosures are currently due on April 4, 2014, supplemental expert disclosures on April 18, 2014 

and the expert discovery cutoff is May 16, 2014. The deadline to file dispositive motions is June 13, 

2014. Trial is currently set for November 4, 2014 with a pre-trial conference on September 11, 2014. 

4. On March 6, 2014, State Farm filed a motion for summary judgment. (Dkt 9 – 11.) 

State Farm obtained a hearing date of April 7, 2014. The parties have met and conferred regarding 

the motion for summary judgment pursuant to the September 25, 2013 Scheduling Order and 

determined that the motion and State Farm’s separate statement of undisputed facts in support 

thereof are still necessary.

5. State Farm’s summary judgment motion seeks a ruling on case-dispositive legal 

issues. The parties recognize that the Court’s determination of a motion for summary judgment or 

partial summary judgment could terminate this case. The parties would like to obtain a ruling on 

State Farm’s motion for summary judgment before incurring the cost of taking depositions and 

conducting expert discovery, which would not be necessary if State Farm prevails on its motion.

6. In addition, based on the current hearing date of April 7, 2014, plaintiffs’ opposition 

to the motion for summary judgment is due on March 24, 2014, the same day as State Farm’s 

responses to plaintiffs’ written discovery.

7. In order to give plaintiffs an opportunity to review State Farm’s discovery responses 

with sufficient time to prepare an opposition to the motion for summary judgment, and to avoid 

unnecessary attorney fees and costs in having to take depositions and retain experts, the parties have 

agreed to submit the instant Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Partially Revise the Court’s Case 

Management Order to Extend Discovery Deadlines and to Continue the Hearing on State Farm’s 

Motion for Summary Judgment.

8. The parties also agree to the Court’s revision of other dates and deadlines in the Case
