3. The parties have exchanged written discovery, including completion of initial disclosures.
Plaintiff’s deposition has been taken, but not completed.
4. Plaintiff’s counsel has recently determined it necessary to file a motion to substitute out as
22
counsel for Plaintiff. This has delayed Defendant’s ability to complete Plaintiff’s deposition, and
23
also necessitates the rescheduling of the Early Settlement Conference.
24
5. This is the Parties’ first request to modify the Scheduling Order.
25
6. Therefore, pursuant to the Court’s scheduling order (ECF No. 15) and Local Rule

(ECF No. 15).

DECLARATION OF AMY R. LOVEGREN-TIPTON

I, Amy R. Lovegren-Tipton, declare as follows:
3
1. I am an attorney at law, duly licensed to practice in the State of California, and I am
4
with the law firm of Law Office of Amy R. Lovegren-Tipton, APLC. I am counsel of record for
5
Plaintiff Reginald Maduako in the above-captioned matter. The following is based on
6
my personal knowledge, and if called upon to do so, I could and would competently
7
testify thereto.

11
2. I submit this declaration in accordance with the Court’s Scheduling Order (ECF
No. 15), which states that stipulations to continue the dates in the Scheduling Order should be
accompanied by affidavits or declarations.
3. I will be filing a motion to withdraw as counsel for Plaintiff. This in turn has delayed the
12
completion of discovery in this matter and also necessitates the need to reschedule the discovery
13
cutoff deadlines, early settlement conference, pretrial conference, and trial dates.
14
15
4. Extending the non-expert and expert discovery cut-off dates and hearing dates will give the
Parties more time to complete discovery.
16
5. This is the Parties’ first request to modify the Scheduling Order.
17
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America and the
18
State of California that the foregoing is true and correct, and this declaration was executed on March
19
24, 2017 in Fresno, California.
