UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA DALE GIBSON, Plaintiff, v. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendants. / Case No. C09-1035 MMC ORDER APPROVING STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND THE MEDIATION DEADLINE

Plaintiff, DALE GIBSON, and Defendant, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, hereby stipulate to extend the deadline to mediate this matter. Currently the mediation deadline is April 16, 2010. The parties have agreed to move the mediation deadline 90 days to July 16, 2010. Good cause for this extension exists due to the fact that this is a Jones Act personal injury case where both the witnesses and the plaintiff have been at sea for extended amounts of time. Up until recently it was unknown as to when plaintiff was to return. Additionally the vessel where the injury occurred is also away.

Both parties are confident that this extension will be all that is required in order to prepare for a meaningful mediation. Assigned mediator, Mark Penskar has been informed of this request and agrees for the need of a 90-day extension. The parties do not anticipate a need to change any previously set deadlines.
