STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER AMENDING SECOND PRETRIAL ORDER- CASE NO. C 04-3508 SI

Plaintiff and Counter-Defendant Telephia, Inc. (“Telephia”) and Defendants and CounterClaimants Steven J. Cuppy, Scott McCulley and David Simon (“Counter-Claimants”), through their

respective counsel of record, hereby make the stipulated request, pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, to

amend the deadlines in the Court’s August 31, 2005 Second Pretrial Preparation Order (the “August

31, 2005 Order”). The parties stipulate and agree as follows:

STIPULATION

1. A significant amount of discovery has been conducted by Telephia and CounterClaimants in preparation for trial or a mutually agreeable resolution to the parties’ dispute. Both

Telephia and Counter-Claimants have been engaged in complex and extensive efforts to identify and

produce responsive documents. On or about September 30, 2005, the parties exchanged

Supplemental Initial Disclosures Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a), and on September 29, 2005

Telephia provided Counter-Claimants with Supplemental Responses to Defendants’ First Set of

Interrogatories. Moreover, the parties have completed numerous depositions in various states.

2. The parties also expended significant time and resources to prepare for and attend a

lengthy Early Neutral Evaluation session. The parties had hoped upon completion of that session to

convert the proceeding into mediation. However, the parties were informed that the Early Neutral

Evaluator, Michael Traynor, disqualified himself because of recently discovered conflicts requiring

the parties to meet-and-confer about future settlement options. 

3. Despite making what both Telephia and Counter-Claimants believe to be reasonably

diligent efforts to conclude discovery and mediate the case by October 14, 2005 in accordance with

the Court’s August 31, 2005 Order, significant discovery remains that the parties do not believe can

be completed according to the current schedule without undue burden. Both Telephia and CounterClaimants have numerous depositions that have not yet been completed, a number of which will

take place in Canada or the eastern United States, and must also arrange for a mediation or a courtordered settlement conference.

4. In order to allow additional time for the completion of discovery and to arrange for

the parties to have an opportunity to resolve the case through mediation or a court-ordered

settlement conference, the parties have agreed, subject to Court approval, to amend the Court’s

Case 3:04-cv-03508-SI Document 114 Filed 10/12/2005 Page 2 of 4

remain in effect; and

2. Either party may depose any witness disclosed in the parties’ Amended Initial

Disclosures (but not previously disclosed in original Initial Disclosures) at any time prior to the PreTrial Conference upon written notice that the disclosing party intends on calling that witness at trial. 

Such notice shall be provided no later than February 3, 2006; and

3. The parties shall be ordered to a Settlement Conference before the Honorable Joseph

Spero on or before December 19, 2005 (Judge Spero’s schedule permitting). In the event that Judge

Spero is unavailable to conduct a court-ordered settlement conference, the parties shall complete

mediation before a private mediator, mutually agreed to by the parties, on or before November 23,

2005.
