Case No. 1:11-cv-00529 AWI-GSA
STIPULATION AND ORDER
EXTENDING NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY
DEADLINE AND NON-DISPOSITIVE
MOTION DEADLINE
Plaintiff, Hilda L. Solis, Secretary of Labor, United States Department of Labor, and
Defendant, National Emergency Medical Services Association, through its counsel of record,
22
23
respectfully request a continuance of the following deadlines as follows:

reasons:
1
___________________________________________________________________________________
STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING NON-EXPERT DISCOVERY DEADLINE
1
2
1.
Settlement Negotiations. The parties have commenced discussions of a possible
settlement of this matter as well as the related action, Solis v. NEMSA, Case No. 1:11-cv-01929-
3
4
LJO-DLB. The parties desire to delay further discovery, and the costs attendant therewith,
5
during the course of continued negotiations, but are prepared to complete discovery if
6
negotiations are not productive in the next two weeks.
7
2.
Substitution of Attorneys. Recently, Attorney Geoffrey Evers substituted into
8
this case as counsel for NEMSA. Mr. Evers accurately certified in the substitution documents
9
10
that his substitution into the case will not (and has not) delayed the proceedings in this matter.
11
However, as the parties focus on settlement negotiations, the parties submit that the interests of
12
justice are best served if NEMSA’s new counsel is permitted to address settlement options first
13
and then focus on the remaining discovery to be completed.
14
3.
15
Remaining Depositions. There are only a select number of depositions
16
remaining to be completed, including the deposition of NEMSA’s principal, Torren Colcord.
17
As reported to this Court in the prior stipulation filed March 22, 2012, Mr. Colcord’s deposition
18
has been difficult to schedule because of his limited schedule (as well as the limited schedule of
19
20
the attorneys for both parties). This and any additional remaining discovery will be completed
21
by the proposed deadline of June 19.
