STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE TO COMPLETE ADR

REED SMITH LLP 

A limited liability partnership formed in the State of Delaware

Plaintiff Patrick Rulo (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Ricoh USA, Inc. and Ricoh Americas 

Corporation (collectively, “Defendants”) (Plaintiff and Defendants will be referred to as the 

“Parties”), by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby agree and stipulate to extend 

their deadline to complete ADR, as follows:

WHEREAS, on May 4, 2015, the Parties submitted a Stipulation and Order Selecting ADR 

Process (“ADR Stipulation”), selecting private mediation to be completed by October 30, 2015;

WHEREAS, on October 23, 2015, Plaintiff applied ex parte to extend the Parties’ deadline to 

complete ADR to November 30, 2015;

WHEREAS, on October 30, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiff’s ex parte application and 

extended the Parties’ deadline to complete ADR on November 30, 2015;

WHEREAS, on November 10, 2015, the Parties spoke with Howard Herman, Director of the 

Court’s ADR Program, to select a form of ADR, but were unable to agree to a form of ADR and 

agreed to continue their telephone conference with Mr. Herman to November 18, 2015;

WHEREAS, on November 18, 2015, the Parties notified Mr. Herman that the Parties agreed 

to participate in Court sponsored mediation;

WHEREAS, on November 18, 2015, the Parties notified Mr. Herman that the Parties will not 

be able to complete their respective initial discovery prior to November 30, 2015, and thus will not 

be able to adequately prepare for participation in ADR by that date; 

WHEREAS, after Defendants proposed extending the deadline to complete ADR to 

December 30, 2015, Mr. Herman suggested the Parties stipulate to extend the deadline to complete 

ADR to January 29, 2016 because of the limited availability of mediators close to the holidays; 

THEREFORE, the Parties stipulate that good cause exists to extend the deadline to complete 

ADR to January 29, 2016.
