STIPULATION AND ORDER TO MODIFY PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR COMPLETION OF DISCOVERY

Sacramento attorney and mediator Kenneth Malovos, Esq.;

WHEREAS, significant progress was made toward settlement at 

mediation, but the Parties need additional time to determine 

whether a settlement can be reached;

WHEREAS, Defendant’s insurance carriers are not currently 

providing either a defense or potential indemnity to Defendant in 

this matter, but the Parties agree that grounds for such defense 

and indemnity appear to exist and recognize the necessity of 

obtaining the cooperation of the insurance carriers to fully 

resolve and/or settle Plaintiff’s damage claims;

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to focus their resources on 

obtaining insurance coverage for the claims from either or both 

insurance carriers and to minimize expenditure of resources and 

reserves available to settle their dispute rather than incur costs 

of depositions and other discovery at this time, particularly with 

the final Status Conference not scheduled until October 19, 2015 

and Trial not scheduled until January 20, 2016;

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that it would be in their 

collective best interests to extend the deadline in the Order to 

complete discovery to July 21, 2015;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Defendant agree to use the extension 

of time afforded by this Stipulation to explore and focus their 

efforts on insurance coverage and settlement of their dispute;

WHEREAS, the proposed stipulation for modification of the 

terms of the Order will not delay or prejudice the timely 

resolution of this case in the event settlement negotiations 

and/or further mediation prove unsuccessful inasmuch as this case 

is not set for Trial until January 20, 2016 and the Parties are
