DECLARATION OF WESLEY E. STUPAR

STATE OF CALIFORNIA )

COUNTY OF FRESNO ) SS. 

I, WESLEY E. STUPAR, declare that:

l. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State

of California and in the United States District Courts, and that 

I am an associate member of the law firm of NUTTALL & COLEMAN,

wherein our firm represents Plaintiff, ZELLA MAYE FREEMAN, with

respect to the instant matter;

2. The underlying request for hearing seeks a Modification

of the current Scheduling Order. On September 12, 2005, the

Court set the following dates:

Designation of Experts: March 31, 2006

Discovery: May 31, 2006

Non-Dispositive Pre-Trial Motions: June 15, 2006

Dispositive Pre-Trial Motions: June 30, 2006

Recently, the Court’s Scheduling Order was modified to extend

time as follows.

Discovery (re: Depositions): June 15, 2006

Dispositive Pre-Trial Motions: July 30, 2006

Counsel stipulated to these continuances. (Enclosed please find

copy of Stipulation and Order to MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER TO

EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINE AND DISPOSITIVE MOTION DEADLINE

attached hereto as Exhibit “A”.) At that time, Counsel also

discussed the substance of Plaintiff’s current underlying ExParte request, to extend the time for Designation of Experts;

however, the Defense would not agree to include Plaintiff’s

requested extension within their own requested extensions;

3. A hearing on Plaintiff’s underlying Ex-Parte request is

needed immediately, prior to the filing of any other motions,

because further deadlines for Discovery and for the filing of

Non-Dispositive and Dispositive Motions are currently

approaching;

4. As stated in Plaintiff’s EX PARTE REQUEST FOR

MODIFICATION OF SCHEDULING ORDER, filed concurrently herewith, it

is believed that good cause exists for the requested modification

of the scheduling order;

5. Counsel have met and conferred on this issue, without

success. Defense Counsel has indicated that the Defense requests

the opportunity to file a written Opposition to this ex-parte

request and to personally appear at the hearing;

6. The factual statements contained in these papers are

true and correct in accord with counsel’s knowledge and belief,

and upon those matters stated upon information and belief,

counsel believes them to be true.

 I declare, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the

State of California, that the foregoing is true and correct and

that this Declaration was executed on June 7, 2006, at Fresno,

California.
