Padilla, hereby seeks on her behalf an enlargement of time to complete discovery and related deadlines. The current discovery deadline is January 18, 2008. Sixty (60) additional days are requested. This additional time is needed due to the mental status of plaintiff, who is on an extended medical leave from work and under the active care of a psychologist, James Parker, at Yuma Bio-Behavioral Clinical Psychology, PLLC. Dr. Parker has confirmed that Ms. Padilla is under his care and has not been able to work since July 10, 2007. She currently suffers from panic disorder, major depression, moderate and poor concentration to the degree that she cannot work. Medications have been prescribed and are part of the treatment plan. Ms. Padilla's condition is related to the work environment and the consistent pattern of hostility she has been confronted with since reporting her Sargent, Villa, for sexual harassment.

This action was then rescinded and upon returning to work on June 15th she was shortly thereafter confronted with new allegations of misconduct on July 9, 2007. Ms. Padilla's deposition was scheduled for September 10, 2007. This date was agreed to by counsel.

Cajun Operating Company, CV 04-631 TUC CKJ. This jury trial is expected to last up to two weeks. Thus counsel and Ms. Padilla would not be available until the week of November 5th for her deposition.
