The good cause for seeking the modification to the scheduling order to extend
13 discovery and expert disclosure deadlines is as follows: the attorney at Goodman Neuman
14 Hamilton LLP who had been handling this case, Paige Yeh, left the firm unexpectedly as
15 of December 13, 2022. As of that date, Joshua S. Goodman undertook the handling of
16 this case and has meet and conferred with counsel for Plaintiffs about the status of
17 discovery, settlement and mediation. During those discussions, it became apparent that
18 the parties desired to attempt to resolve this matter through settlement discussions and if
19 need by through private mediation. The parties desire some additional time to explore
20 settlement without having to undergo the time and expense of expert disclosure and
21 discovery, including and independent medical examination of Plaintiff KENNETH
22 PRESBA.
23
The parties are not seeking to modify or extend the deadline to complete expert
24 discovery or any motion deadlines, and are not seeking to modify the dates for the Final
25 Pre-trial Conference or jury trial. The parties believe that allowing additional time to

26 complete fact discovery and to disclose experts will allow them to focus on settlement
27 and will make settlement more likely by limiting the expenses both parties will incur in
28 completing discovery and disclosing experts.
