STIPULATION AND REQUEST

FOR GOOD CAUSE AND [FED. R. CIV.
P. 16(b)]
AT&T SERVICES, INC.,
Defendant.
Amended Complaint filed November 7, 2018
27
28
STIPULATION & REQUEST TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER;
ORDER – Case No. 2:18-cv-02489-KJM-DB
1
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 16(b)(4) and Section X of the Status
2
(Pretrial Scheduling) Order issued by United States District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller on
3
January 29, 2019 (the “Scheduling Order”), Plaintiff Glenna Strong (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant
4
AT&T Services, Inc. (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through undersigned
5
counsel, hereby jointly stipulate and move to modify the Scheduling Order for good cause, as
6
follows:
7
8
9
1.
Plaintiff brought this action on or about September 13, 2018. Plaintiff filed an
Amended Complaint on November 7, 2018.
2.
Pursuant to the Scheduling Order, the cut-off for discovery is September 20, 2019.
10
The deadline for the Parties to designate and disclose expert witnesses is September 27, 2019. All
11
expert discovery must be completed by November 18, 2019. The deadline for dispositive motions
12
is December 20, 2019. No trial date has been set in this matter.
13
3.
On November 30, 2018, Defendant filed a Motion to Strike Portions of Plaintiff’s
14
Amended Complaint (the “Motion to Strike”) and a Request for Judicial Notice in Support of
15
Motion to Strike (the “Request for Judicial Notice”). The Motion to Strike and Request for
16
Judicial Notice were heard on January 11, 2019. The Motion to Strike and the Request for
17
Judicial Notice are currently pending before this Court.
18
4.
Defendant has not yet responded to the Amended Complaint. Defendant intends
19
to respond to the Amended Complaint following the Court’s anticipated order(s) on the Motion
20
to Strike and Request for Judicial Notice.
21
5.
The Parties have scheduled a Voluntary Dispute Resolution Program (“VDRP”)
22
session with neutral Carolee Kilduff for July 9, 2019, which was the first date available for the
23
neutral and the Parties.
24
6.
The Parties are attempting to resolve this matter before incurring the expense of
25
discovery and have informally agreed to stay discovery in this matter pending the outcome of the
26
scheduled VDRP session on July 9, 2019.
27
28
7.
The requested modification of deadlines in the Scheduling Order is supported by
good cause, will promote judicial economy, and will further the interests of justice because the
STIPULATION & REQUEST TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER;
ORDER – Case No. 2:18-cv-02489-KJM-DB

1
modification will ensure that the pleadings are settled before this matter moves forward with
2
substantive discovery and will permit the Parties to meaningfully explore whether this matter
3
can be resolved without the need to further incur fees and expenses related to the litigation.
4
8.
In light of the above, the Parties have met and conferred and agreed to approach
5
the Court regarding modifications to the Scheduling Order. The Parties stipulate and propose
6
that the Scheduling Order be modified and that the deadlines in the extended by approximately
7
six months, as follows:

a)

submission of this document.
