Case No. 1:13-cv-01246-AWI-GSA

SECOND STIPULATION TO CONTINUE 

DEADLINES IN THE COURT’S 

SCHEDULING CONFERENCE ORDER; 

ORDER THEREON

Plaintiff Steven J. Toal (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation

and Cargill, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”), by and through their respective undersigned counsel, 

hereby again agree and stipulate as follows:

Plaintiff had heart surgery on or about August 13, 2014 and could not travel from 

Pennsylvania, where he currently resides, to California, where he filed this lawsuit, for his noticed 

deposition in late August. Thus, the parties had previously agreed to continue various deadlines in 

the Court’s Scheduling Conference Order by about 60 days as outlined below.

SECOND STIPULATION TO CONTINUE DEADLINES IN THE COURT’S 

SCHEDULING CONFERENCE ORDER; ORDER THEREON

Plaintiff’s ongoing recovery from his heart surgery is impacting his ability to participate in 

litigation, including appearing and traveling for his deposition, and he has expressed his desire to 

resolve his lawsuit with Defendants. Therefore, the parties seek another continuance of the various 

deadlines in the Court’s Scheduling Conference Order by about 60 days as outlined below.

To date, the parties have conducted written discovery in the case. Counsel for the parties 

have been meeting and conferring over the last few of weeks to discuss Plaintiff’s health condition

and his desire to resolve litigation. Due to Plaintiff’s current health condition, counsel for the 

parties met and conferred and agreed to an approximately 60-day continuance of deadlines in the 

Court’s scheduling order while Plaintiff continues to recover, and to discuss possible resolution of 

this matter.

Currently, the Court has set the following upcoming deadlines:

Non-expert discovery cutoff: November 3, 2014

Expert discovery cutoff: December 9, 2014

Non-dispositive Motion

Filing deadline: January 9, 2015

Dispositive Motion

Filing deadline: January 9, 2015

Settlement Conference: Not set

Pretrial Conference April 9, 2015

10:00 a.m.

Dept. 2

Jury Trial June 2, 2015

8:30 a.m.

Dept. 2

The parties propose the following new deadlines:

Non-expert discovery cutoff: January 9, 2015

Expert discovery cutoff: January 15, 2015

Non-dispositive Motion

Filing deadline: March 5, 2015

SECOND STIPULATION TO CONTINUE DEADLINES IN THE COURT’S 

SCHEDULING CONFERENCE ORDER; ORDER THEREON

Dispositive Motion

Filing deadline: March 5, 2015

Settlement Conference: Not set

Pretrial Conference June 9, 2015

10:00 a.m.

Dept. 2

Jury Trial August 3, 2015

8:30 a.m.

Dept. 2

The parties have performed written discovery since the trial date was set and have worked 

through any discovery issues without the Court’s intervention. Due to Plaintiff’s unanticipated 

surgery and further complications he is still unable to travel to California for his deposition. The 

parties request another short continuance, and good cause exists to grant a continuance due to 

Plaintiff’s medical condition and to explore possible resolution of this matter. The parties have 

previously requested one continuance of all deadlines.

IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
