PURSUANT TO CIVIL LOCAL RULE 144 (Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A)), THE 

PARTIES HEREBY RESPECTFULLY STIPULATE, THROUGH THEIR ATTORNEYS OF 

RECORD, AS FOLLOWS:

1. The parties have worked cooperatively together, in good faith, to accomplish the 

necessary discovery and depositions. Most non-expert discovery has been completed,

with the exception of depositions two to four witnesses, who have been difficult to 

locate and subpoena. Additionally, at least one deposition was taken off-calendar in 

view of the mediation (discussed below, in ¶¶ 3-4), but it will be rescheduled now.

2. The majority of the discovery remaining in order for the case to be ready for trial is 

expert disclosures and expert discovery.

3. The parties, in good faith, participated in an ADR session via private mediation with 

Russ J. Wunderli of Wunderli Mediation Services, on January 17, 2024, in a good 

faith effort to settle this case. The case did not resolve.

4. As a result of the mediation session, the parties had delayed expert disclosures, in 

order to conserve case costs and attorney time, in the event the case was resolvable.

5. Part of the logistical challenge presently facing the parties is that expert disclosures 

cannot be complete without non-expert discovery being closer to complete.

6. The parties to this action believe that with modest continuances of the remaining, 

successive deadlines in the case, including for the designation of experts and experts’ 

rebuttals, the non-discovery motion deadline, the final pretrial conference, and trial,

the case will then be ready to proceed to trial.

7. Defense counsel was trailing for two weeks in Placer County, and was then blind set 

for trial, on January 22, 2024, which trial is currently anticipated potentially to go 

through May 1, 2024, but may conclude sooner.

8. Meanwhile, the next available dates for the pretrial conference and trial proposed by 

defense counsel do not work for Plaintiff’s counsel, due to obligations in other 

matters. The dates proposed below are the soonest dates on which the parties and
