WHEREAS, the current dispositive motion deadline for this matter is November 15,

6

WHEREAS, the parties have completed substantial discovery, and have noticed the

7 depositions of their respective corporate representatives [Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses] and several

8
work for witnesses;
9
WHEREAS, the parties participated in a settlement conference on June 20, 2016 before
10
Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe;
11
WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to mediate the case on August 2, 2016, in Fresno,
12
California, before Bruce A. Friedman, Esq. of JAMS;
13
WHEREAS, the parties desire a short hiatus from taking depositions to determine if the

15
requested herein for discovery already served or noticed, reserving rights to seek leave of court
16
for additional, follow up discovery if needed.

WHEREAS, the parties believe that the requested extension of these deadlines will not

trial conference and dispositive motion deadlines;

WHEREAS, in the interest of cost and time savings and judicial economy, the parties
21 agree to continue the discovery deadline to September 15, 2016, and the expert disclosure
