CHARLES HENLEY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD 

COMPANY, a corporation, 

Defendant. 

Case No. 3:16-cv-03767-RS 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

TO MODIFY CASE MANAGEMENT 

SCHEDULING ORDER 

Complaint Filed: July 5, 2016 

Trial Date: February 15, 2018 

Plaintiff Charles Henley and defendant Union Pacific Railroad Company submit the 

following stipulation to modify the Court’s Case Management Scheduling Order (Dkt. 24).

RECITALS 

On October 27, 2017, the Court issued a Case Management Scheduling Order with respect 

to all relevant pre-trial and trial dates. With regard to a settlement conference, the Court referred 

the parties to Judge Westmore, per the parties’ request, “for the purposes of engaging in a 

settlement conference to take place, ideally, within the next 120 days.” (Dkt. 24, 1:17-19.) 

On November 19, 2016, following a pre-settlement telephone conference between the 

parties and Judge Westmore, the Court scheduled the settlement conference for February 8, 2017.

STIP. AND [PROPOPOSED] ORDER TO 

MODIFY CASE MGMT. SCHEDULING 

ORDER, CASE NO. 3:16-CV-03767-RS 

(Dkt. 28.) 

The parties have conferred and agree that the settlement conference, as currently 

scheduled, is premature for the following reasons. The parties wish to complete additional 

discovery, including plaintiff’s deposition, which is tentatively scheduled to take place on 

February 16, 2017, prior to the settlement conference. Counsel for both parties have spent 

significant time recently in trial, and preparing for trial, in other matters. The parties believe that 

the additional time to complete essential discovery will permit the parties to engage in a more 

meaningful dialogue at the conference. 

Subject to the Court’s approval and availability, the parties are currently contemplating 

that a continued settlement conference will take place the third week of March (March 20-24) or 

the second week of April (April 10-14). These changes will not affect the trial date or any other 

pretrial deadlines. The parties have not previously requested a modification of the Case 

Management Scheduling Order. 

For the Court’s reference, on January 17, 2017, the parties submitted to Judge Westmore a 

request to continue the settlement conference, but were told to first request the continuance from 

Judge Seeborg’s department due to the Scheduling Order’s mandate that the settlement 

conference occur within 120 days of October 27, 2017. 

STIPULATION 

 NOW, THEREFORE, AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE FOREGOING, 

The parties, through their respective counsel, hereby request the following modifications 

to the Case Management Scheduling Order: 

With respect to Alternative Dispute Resolution (Paragraph 1), the parties request that the 

deadline to engage in a settlement conference with Judge Westmore be extended to May 26, 

2017.1

 

 

1

 The extra time is requested in an abundance of caution because the parties do not know Judge 

Westmore’s availability.
