STIPULATION AND ORDER TO CONTINUE THE DISCOVERY CUT-OFF DATE FOR FIVE DEPOSITIONS AND TO FILE MOTIONS 

TO COMPEL OUTSTANDING DISCOVERY TO JANUARY 31, 2016

WHEREAS, non-expert discovery is scheduled to be completed by December 18, 2015, as 

mandated by the Scheduling Order dated June 19, 2015 (Docket No. 12);

WHEREAS, the parties have calendared five (5) additional depositions, four (4) of which 

are scheduled to be taken in Harrison, Arkansas on December 10 and 11, 2015;

WHEREAS, the parties have completed the depositions of both of the Plaintiffs and a 

FedEx manager over the past month; 

WHEREAS, the parties participated in a private mediation on September 14, 2015, and 

were unable to reach a resolution to this litigation;

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to re-engage in serious settlement negotiations in the 

hope of resolving this matter prior to the need to take the remaining depositions and have agreed 

that expending resources for out-of-state depositions would prove counter-productive to their 

settlement goal;

WHEREAS, the parties believe that they need approximately two (2) weeks to engage in 

these settlement negotiations and would like to continue the remaining depositions to January, 

2016, in order to focus on resolving this matter prior to incurring the expense of the scheduled 

depositions;

WHEREAS, expert designations are not scheduled until February 18, 2016;

WHEREAS, the trial in this matter is currently set to commence on November 7, 2016;

and

WHEREAS, the parties agree that extending the discovery cut-off date for certain 

depositions and to file motions to compel any outstanding discovery to January 31, 2016, will not 

cause any delay or continuance of any of the other dates;

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between Plaintiffs TOMAS 

BEJARANO and ALAN KING and Defendant FEDEX FREIGHT, INC., through their respective 

counsel of record, that the non-expert discovery cut-off date be continued from December 18, 

2015 to January 31, 2016, for the purpose of taking the depositions of Jon Barrett, Mark Courter, 

Tracy Crow, Brittany Starkey and the representative of Con-Way Freight. The parties shall also 

have until January 31, 2016 to file any motions to compel relating to any outstanding discovery
