FIRMWIDE:143817343.1 052068.1029 Case No. 2:15-cv-00721-JAM-DB

Plaintiff FABIENNE OUAPAOU-LENA (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants 

GREENFIELD CARE CENTER OF FAIRFIELD and EVA CARE GROUP, LLC (“Defendants”), 

by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 

The pre-trial scheduling order in this matter sets a deadline of November 16, 2016, 

for the parties to file dispositive motions, with a hearing date of December 14, 2016, and a trial date 

of February 27, 2017. The parties seek to amend these dates and all related deadlines for good cause. 

The parties have been diligently working to secure a mutually acceptable date and 

location for the deposition of Plaintiff’s supervisor John Padama. Despite those efforts, and owing to 

the burdens of counsels’ calendars, the deponent’s calendar, and the Thanksgiving holiday, the 

parties were unable to determine any date prior to November 28, 2016, that was available to the 

parties, counsel and Mr. Padama. Mr. Padama is set to be deposed on November 28, 2016, in Los 

Angeles. In order to ensure that all necessary evidence is available for inclusion in a dispositive 

motion, and to ensure Plaintiff’s counsel has sufficient time to defend such a motion, the parties 

require an extension of the deadline to file dispositive motions. 

Additionally, the parties have been engaged in settlement discussions and wish to 

continue those efforts after Mr. Padama’s testimony has been secured and before a motion for 

summary judgment is pending. Extension of the dispositive motion deadline will provide the parties 

an opportunity to do so. A continuance of the dispositive motion hearing date, trial date and all 

related deadlines would accommodate a continued deadline for filing dispositive motions. 

Accordingly, the parties respectfully request: a dispositive motion filing deadline of 

no earlier than December 13, 2016; a dispositive motion hearing date of no earlier than January 20, 

2017; a joint pretrial statement filing deadline of no earlier than February 17, 2017; a final pretrial 

conference date of no earlier than February 24, 2017; and a trial date of no earlier than April 3, 2017. 

The parties do not anticipate any additional continuance of this matter.
