Case No. 2:22-cv-02030-WBS-DB

AMENDED STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND DISCOVERY, PRETRIAL DATES

AND TRIAL DATE SET IN STATUS 

(PRETRIAL SCHEDULING) ORDER

SECOND REQUEST FOR EXTENSION

Plaintiff Dan Carlton (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Amgard 

Insurance Company (“Defendant”) by and through their respective 

counsel, hereby stipulate and request the Court to approve their 

agreement for an extension of the discovery, other pretrial 

deadlines and trial date as follows by approximately 60 days:

1.On August 3, 2023, the Court issued an order extending Pretrial 

2. Since the order, the parties have exchanged written 

discovery and informal exchanges of information. The case was 

mediated on October 2, 2023, unsuccessfully. The defendant’s 

lead counsel, however, has become unavailable due to 

confidential health related concerns, which has required a

change in lead counsel. If requested, new lead counsel is 

prepared to advise the court of more details concerning the 

condition, but cannot put it in a public filing.

3. Counsel have met and conferred privately concerning 

remaining discovery following the mediation and schedules of the 

witnesses and counsel prevent taking the relevant parties’ 

depositions prior to the November 16th expert witness disclosure 

date. 

2. Good cause therefore exists for the parties’ request 

because the parties would like to complete the percipient

depositions engage in both informal settlement discussions and a 

possible mediation to attempt to resolve this matter before 

engaging in further discovery. The parties have completed 

disclosures, and plaintiff’s counsel has noticed the depositions 

of multiple home office employees of the defendant.

3. In light of the settlement discussions, the discovery 

to be completed and possible dispositive motions, the parties 

jointly request that the Court extend the deadlines and dates as 

proposed below:

Deadline Current Date Proposed New Date

Expert disclosures due November 16, 2023 February 1, 2024

Rebuttal expert disclosures November 27, 2023 February 15, 2024

Close of factual discovery December 18, 2023 March 18, 2024

Last day to file motions February 13, 2024 May 13, 2024

Final Pretrial Conference April 22, 2024, 

1:30 p.m.

Trial Date June 24, 2024, 9
