Case No. CV-07-06198 MHP STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER EXTENDING DISCOVERY DEADLINE AND [PROPOSED] ORDER (L.R. 6-2) Trial Date: August 17, 2010

1

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the

2 parties hereto through their respective attorneys of record that, if the Court approves, the current 3 discovery deadline in the above-captioned case be extended as set forth below. The stipulation is 4 based on the following: 5 The current discovery schedule has been set in a series of agreements and court orders. On

6 November 18, 2008, the parties in the above-captioned action filed a Discovery Plan pursuant to 7 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) setting forth, among other things, discovery deadlines. On 8 February 9, 2009, the parties appeared for a Status Conference and the Court issued Amended 9 Civil Minutes setting discovery deadlines and a trial date. On June 12, 2009, the Court entered an 10 Order granting the stipulated request of the parties to reset the trial deadlines and trial date in the 11 above-captioned action. On October 5, 2009, the Court entered an Order granting the stipulated 12 request of the parties to reset the discovery deadlines and trial date in the above-captioned action. 13 On January 4, 2010, the Court entered an Order granting the stipulated request of the parties to 14 reset the discovery deadlines and trial date in the above-captioned action. On January 13, 2010, 15 the Court entered an Order granting the stipulated request of the parties to reset the deadline for 16 depositions in the above-captioned action. 17 The parties have agreed to extend the discovery schedule for the limited purpose of

18 completing the deposition of Thomas W. Weisel. The extension is necessary because the witness 19 is not available at a time convenient for all parties prior to the current deadline for completing 20 depositions. 21 The parties seek Court approval to further extend the discovery deadline for depositions

22 from February 4, 2010 to March 24, 2010 for the purpose of completing the deposition of Mr. 23 Weisel. 24 25 26 In all other respects, the Court's prior scheduling orders shall remain unchanged. The parties respectfully request that the Court grant their request. In accordance with General Order No. 45, Section X regarding signatures, the filer of this

27 document hereby attests that concurrence in the filing of this document was obtained from each of 28 the signatories listed below.
