DECLARATION OF MICHELLE E. SASSANO

I, Michelle E. Sassano, declare:

1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and before the 

United States District Court for the Eastern District of California. I am an associate with the 

law firm of Weakley & Arendt, LLP, attorney of record for defendants. I make the following 

declaration of my own personal knowledge and if called upon to testify could and would 

competently testify could and would competently testify hereto.

2. On January 20, 2016, the parties participated in mediation with James Dilling. 

The parties did not settle the matter at mediation. However, the parties have agreed to meet 

again to attempt to resolve the matter. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for January 25, 

2016.

3. The dispositive motion filing deadline is set for January 25, 2016.

4. In order to assist with settlement, the parties would like to avoid incurring 

additional attorney’s fees and costs prior to mediation. Therefore, a short extension of the 

dispositive motion filing deadline is necessary.

5. If for some reason the mediation is unsuccessful, the parties would need 

additional time to file any dispositive motions. The parties are only requesting the dispositive 

deadline be continued thirty (30) days from the currently scheduled deadlines.

I declare under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the United States of America, that 

the foregoing is true and correct; and if called as a witness, I could competently testify thereto.

Executed this 22nd day of January, 2016, at Fresno, California.

 /s/ Michelle E. Sassano
