STPULATED JOINT REQUEST AND [PROPOSED] ORDER MODIFYING THE SCHEDULING ORDER

Plaintiff Jose Ramirez ("Plaintiff") and Defendant Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. 

(“Defendant”) hereby jointly request, based on the showing of good cause discussed herein, that the 

Court modify the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order by vacating the Final Pretrial Conference date of 

July 17, 2017, and commencement of trial set for September 19, 2017, and resetting the Final 

Pretrial Conference to August 21, 2017, and commencement of trial to October 24, 2017. 

I. GOOD CAUSE EXISTS TO MODIFY THE STATUS (PRETRIAL SCHEDULING) 

ORDER

On August 1, 2016, the parties submitted a Joint Status Report pursuant to the Court’s 

April 14, 2016, Order Re: Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference. In this Report, the parties 

proposed October 24, 2017, as the date for commencement of trial. (ECF 6)

A Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference was held in this matter on August 15, 

2016. At the Conference, the Court brought to the parties’ attention another employment litigation 

matter involving Defendant Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc., and potential coordination of discovery 

aspects of the two cases was discussed. (Declaration of Douglas L. Ropel, ¶ 3) Following the 

Conference, the Court issued a Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, which assigned the dates of 

July 17, 2017, for the Final Pretrial Conference, and September 19, 2017, and commencement of 

Trial. (ECF 8)

Defendant’s Assistant General Counsel, Mr. HP Baker, wishes to attend the trial of 

this matter as a representative of Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc. (Declaration of Douglas L. Ropel, ¶ 4) 

Prior to submission of the parties’ Joint Status report, Mr. Baker’s availability to attend the trial in 

this matter was confirmed if it was scheduled to commence October 24, 2017. (Id.) Mr. Baker will 

be unavailable to attend the trial in this matter September 19 through October 17, 2017, due his 

observance of religious holidays. (Id.)

Upon learning of Mr. Baker’s unavailability to attend trial in September 2017, 

Defendant met and conferred with Plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Sean Gavin. (Id. at ¶ 5) Mr. Gavin 

informed Defendant that Plaintiff is both available and agreeable to a commencement of trial in the

matter on October 24, 2017, the date originally proposed by the parties in the Joint Status Report. 

(Id.)
