Case No.: 2:17-cv-00173-TLN-KJN 

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE 

THE PERIOD FOR DISCOVERY AND TO 

CONTINUE EXPERT DISCLOSURE AND 

DISPOSITIVE MOTION DEADLINES 

 Plaintiff Kevin Bess (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Adams & Associates, Inc. (“Defendant”) 

(collectively “Parties”), by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate to extend the 

non-expert discovery cutoff by 90 days, from January 7, 2020 to April 6, 2020, as well as the expert 

disclosure deadline and last day to hear dispositive motions. This is a second request by the parties to 

extend discovery, as the initial order from the court contained a discovery cutoff of November 8, 2019. 

This is the first request of the Parties to continue other deadlines in this action. In support of this 

stipulation, the Parties offer the following: 

 1. The Parties believe that the current fact discovery cutoff does not allow enough time to 

complete the discovery that the Parties anticipate they will need.

2. The deposition of Plaintiff Bess has been partially completed and by agreement of the 

Parties will be completed at a date to be agreed upon. Upon completion of Plaintiff’s deposition, the 

Parties will schedule the deposition of Defendant’s Person Most Knowledgeable. 

 3. The Parties believe they require a limited extension of time to complete discovery and 

depositions and, out of an abundance of caution, wish to continue the deadline for disclosure of expert 

witnesses and the last day to hear dispositive motions. The current expert disclosure deadline is January 9, 

2020, and the current last day to hear dispositive motions is May 14, 2020. There is no trial currently date 

set in this action. 

 4. Having reviewed the respective schedules of counsel, the Parties believe that an 

extension of the fact discovery cutoff from January 7, 2020, to April 6, 2020, would allow the Parties 

sufficient time to complete fact discovery. The Parties also believe that a continuance of the expert 

disclosure deadline from January 9, 2020, to April 16, 2020, and a continuance of the last day to hear 

dispositive motions from May 14, 2020, to August 14, 2020, would allow for completion of all discovery 

and the filing of dispositive motions, should such be determined to be necessary, without undue delay of 

this matter. 

THEREFORE, the Parties stipulate and agree, subject to approval by the Court, that the cutoff 

for non-expert discovery be extended to April 6, 2020; that the expert witness disclosure deadline be 

extended to April 16, 2020; and the last day to hear dispositive motions be continued to August 14, 2020. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
