IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by and between the parties to this action, Plaintiff Raoul

through their respective attorneys of record for the parties herein, that the parties agree that the 

appointment of Peter R. Boutin as the Mediator in this case, pursuant to ADR L.R. 6-3(a), and the

Stipulation and Order Extending Appt. of Mediator and Deadline for Conducting Mediation (3:14-cv-05671 WHA)

Hamilton, (“Hamilton”), counsel for defendants. During the telephone conference, Hamilton 

advised the two other participants that, as indicated in the Joint Case Management Conference 

Statement filed by the parties on August 6, 2015, defendants would agree to mediation, but only 

“if mediation takes place after the court rules on defendants’ future motion for summary 

judgment.”1 Therefore, Hamilton wanted to delay mediation until after liability had been 

established, which would not occur until the court ruled on defendants’ future motion for 

summary judgment. Upon further conversation, the parties agreed that mediation, and the 

deadline for conducting mediation, would be extended by stipulation. The Mediator, Peter R. 

Boutin, also agreed to continue to act as the Mediator in this case, if his appointment, and the 

deadline for conducting mediation, were to be extended beyond by his normal 90-day 

appointment, which expired on November 12, 2015. With the permission of Poore, Mr. Boutin 

was contacted by Hamilton yesterday, January 28, 2016, through his secretary, and he has agreed 

to continue to act as the Mediator in this matter. 

Although the last date for dispositive motions is October 6, 2016, per the court’s Case 

Management Order and Reference to ADR Unit for Mediation, dated August 13, 2015, the parties 

believe that this matter will be ready for mediation on or no later than August 31, 2016, if not 

well before that date. Therefore, the parties respectfully request that Peter R. Boutin’s 

appointment as Mediator, and the deadline for conducting mediation, be extended by the court to 

the close of business on August 31, 2016.
