Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Continue Discovery Deadline / Case No. 2:09-CV-01495 GEB (DAD)) 

 Plaintiffs Calpine Operating Services Company, Inc. and Calpine Gilroy Cogen, LP 

(collectively, “Calpine”), defendant and third-party plaintiff Electrical Maintenance and 

Consultants, Inc. (“EMC”) and third-party defendant E&M Electric and Machinery, Inc. 

(“E&M”), by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby stipulate and agree to the 

following: 

 1. Pursuant to the Court’s August 18, 2009, Pre-Trial Scheduling Order, the 

discovery deadline in this action is September 22, 2010. 

 2. Trial is currently scheduled for April 19, 2011. 

 3. The parties informally mediated this case with Michael Ornstil of JAMS on July 

7, 2010. The case did not settle but the parties are still engaged in ongoing settlement 

discussions. 

 4. In light of the July 7, 2010 mediation, the parties conducted limited discovery in 

order to reduce any potentially unnecessary attorneys’ fees and costs. 

5. The parties have endeavored to complete discovery by the September 22, 2010 

deadline, but the scheduling of depositions has been challenging due to the witnesses and 

counsels’ limited availability, including: (1) paternity leave for Calpine’s lead trial counsel from 

July 26 - August 18, 2010; (2) limited availability of EMC’s lead trial counsel due to: a 6-week 

trial from April 5 to May 14, a three-week vacation from May 17 - June 4, 2 trials in September 

and a two-week vacation in September; and (3) limited availability for numerous Calpine 

witnesses who are required to travel from out-of-state to be present for deposition. 

 6. Based on the foregoing, the parties stipulate and request a 30-day continuance of 

the discovery deadline. 

 7. This brief continuance of the discovery deadline will not affect any other dates, 

including the November 22, 2010 motion hearing deadline; the January 24, 2011 pre-trial 

conference; or the April 19, 2011 trial date. 

 8. This is the first continuance to the discovery deadline sought by the parties. The 

parties have stipulated, and the Court has granted, one extension to a continuance of the 

exchange of expert reports. The parties disclosed experts pursuant to the Court’s Pre-Trial 

Case 2:09-cv-01495-GEB-DAD Document 25 Filed 08/10/10 Page 2 of 3

Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Continue Discovery Deadline / Case No. 2:09-CV-01495 GEB (DAD)) 

Scheduling Order but the parties stipulated to a continuance of the exchange of expert reports in 

light of the July 7, 2010 mediation. No other extensions of time have been sought. 

 8. Based on the foregoing, the parties stipulate and respectfully request that the 

Court grant a 30-day extension of time from September 22, 2010 to October 22, 2010 for the 

parties to complete discovery.
