JOINT APP. TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR SCHEDULING AND PARTICIPATING IN FURTHER
SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE AND CONTINUE CMC; [PROPOSED] ORDER; CASE NO. C-09-0380 RS
1
Defendant Antonio Cabrera Mano Filho ( Mr. Cabrera ) and Plaintiff Iguacu, Inc.
2
( Iguacu ) jointly request that (1) the October 6, 2011 deadline for participating in a further
3
settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Zimmerman pursuant to the Court s July 8, 2011 order,
4
[Dkt. No. 152], be extended to November 18, 2011; and (2) that the Case Management Conference
5
currently scheduled for October 13, 2011, [Dkt. No. 152], be continued for the following reasons:
6
1.
This Court s July 8th order directed the parties that to the extent practicable, and
7
subject to Judge Zimmerman s availability, to complete [the settlement conference] process
8
within 90 days , [id.] that is, by October 6, 2011. Judge Zimmerman scheduled a further
9
Settlement Conference for August 16, 2011. [Dkt. No. 153.] After full consideration and
10
discussion, the parties do not believe that a meaningful Settlement Conference can be held this
11
soon and schedule conflicts dictate that the deadline be extended and the Settlement Conference
12
be rescheduled to the period between November 1 and November 18, 2011.
13
2.
Iguaçu does not believe that a productive Settlement Conference can be held until
14
completion of discovery currently pending, including production of documents requested from
15
Mr. Cabrera and subpoenaed from Archer Daniels Midland Company ( ADM ) in Decatur, Illinois.
16
Mr. Cabrera intends to produce responsive documents in mid-August, but Iguacu cannot presently
17
determine how much time ADM will require to respond to the subpoena, and expects that the process
18
may take several more weeks. Once responsive documents are received, Iguaçu s counsel will
19
need to review and analyze them in order to quantify the damage claims and evaluate liability issues.
20
3.
Mr. Cabrera is a citizen and resident of Brazil; Ms. Seturam, Iguacu s CEO, is living
21
in India to care for her ill mother. As a result, travel and care arrangements for their attendance must
22
be made well in advance. It is not feasible for either of them to attend the presently scheduled
23
Settlement Conference, and it is unlikely to be successful without their attendance.
24
4.
The earliest that Iguacu believes it could be ready to participate in a productive
25
Conference would be the last week of September; however, Judge Zimmerman s schedule for that
26
week and the first week of November is full, and Mr. Cabrera s counsel has existing schedule
27
conflicts throughout the month of October. Therefore, the parties agree that the Conference should be
28
1

1
held between November 1 and November 18, 2011, so that discovery can be substantially completed,
2
and the principals can arrange to attend.
3
5.
Wherefore, the parties respectfully request that the deadline for scheduling and
4
participating in a further settlement conference with Magistrate Judge Zimmerman be extended to
5
November 18, 2011. The parties recognize that they are responsible for scheduling a specific date
6
with Judge Zimmerman s chambers and in accordance with his procedures and will plan on
7
making those arrangements directly with Judge Zimmerman upon this Court s approval of the
8
instant application. The parties are currently in the process of choosing a date that is mutually
9
agreeable.
10
6.
The parties further request that the Case Management Conference currently
11
scheduled for October 13, 2011 be continued to the second week in December after the parties
12
participate in the settlement conference with Judge Zimmerman.
