STIP. & [PROPOSED] ORDER RE: EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY DEADLINE 

SMRH:4838-1547-8458.1

-1-

WHEREAS, the Parties previously stipulated to and the Court approved an order 

extending the discovery deadline in this matter from May 1, 2020 until May 15, 2020 (ECF NO. 

13), which is the current discovery cut-off deadline; 

WHEREAS, on March 16, 2020, due to the spread and threat of the COVID-19 virus, 

Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Marin County, San Francisco County, Santa Clara 

County and Santa Cruz County all issued orders requiring the sheltering in place and nonoperation of all non-essential individuals/businesses;

WHEREAS, on March 19, 2020 Placer County and Sacramento County, as well as the 

State of California, issued similar shelter in place orders; 

WHEREAS, the aforementioned shelter in place orders are currently set to expire in early

May (either May 1, 2020 or May 3, 2020); 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s principal, Plaintiff’s counsel, Defendant’s counsel and many

potential third party witnesses in this matter reside/are located in California, including in the 

counties referenced above; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s lead counsel, Katherine Wenger, recently obtained a federal jury 

summons requiring her to be “on call”, and thus unavailable for this matter, from May 7 – May 

20, 2020;

WHEREAS, given the aforementioned shelter in place orders, the challenge such orders 

pose to discovery and the period of unavailability of Plaintiff’s lead counsel, the Parties stipulate 

and agree through their counsel of record, that the current May 15, 2020 discovery deadline set 

forth in ECF No. 13, shall be extended from May 15, 2020 through and including June 5, 2020.
