STIPULATION & ORDER EXTENDING DISCOVERY DEADLINES

- 1 -

WHEREAS, this subrogation action arises from an insurance claim Plaintiff paid 

following a residential fire in Sacramento California in January 2018;

WHEREAS, on November 4, 2019, at the parties’ request, the Court entered an order 

shortening the fact discovery period from the 365-day period set forth in the initial pretrial 

scheduling order to approximately six months from the date of the parties’ joint discovery plan; 

WHEREAS the parties have been working diligently to complete fact discovery prior to 

the April 30, 2020 deadline, but have encountered certain unanticipated issues which compel 

them to request a short extension of the current discovery deadlines;

WHEREAS these unanticipated issues include the production of sensitive and 

confidential business material and trade secrets, which led the parties to file a stipulated 

protective order on March 10, 2020;

WHEREAS the need to seek a protective order has delayed production of certain of the

parties’ sensitive documents;

WHEREAS these unanticipated issues also include the need to discover factual 

information relating to the scope of the insured’s claim; 

WHEREAS the parties also are in the process of meeting and conferring concerning legal 

issues relating to the production of information within the control of the insured, and;

WHEREAS the extensions sought by the parties would nonetheless result in discovery 

being completed sooner than it would had the Court adopted its standard 365-day discovery 

period.
