JOINT STIPULATION (NO. 3:13-CV-03898-VC)

1

STIPULATION

2

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiff Board of Trustees of the Ken

3

Lusby Clerks & Lumber Handlers Pension Fund (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Piedmont Lumber &

4

Mill Company, William C. Myer, Jr. and Wendy M. Oliver, as an individual and as the Trustee to

5

the Oliver Family Trust, (collectively, “Defendants”), by and through their undersigned attorneys of

6

record, make the following stipulated request to extend all pre-trial deadlines by 45 days and to

7

continue the trial date and pre-trial conference as determined by the court for the reasons set forth

8

below :

9

WHEREAS, on May 19, 2014, the Court issued a Stipulation and Order Revising

10

Case Deadlines and set the trial date for February 17, 2015 and the non-expert discovery cut-off for

11

August 29, 2014;

12

WHEREAS, Jackson Lewis has recently filed a motion to withdraw as counsel of

13

record for Defendants Piedmont Lumber & Mill Company and William C. Myer, Jr. based on non-

14

payment of fees;

15
16
17
18
19
20

WHEREAS, during the first week of July 2014, Wendy M. Oliver obtained new
counsel to represent her interests, as an individual and as Trustee of the Oliver Family Trust;
WHEREAS, Richard N. Hill and Scott D. Helsinger of Littler Mendelson, P.C. now
represent Defendant Wendy M. Oliver;
WHEREAS, the Parties have recently begun settlement discussions in an effort to
resolve this matter;

21

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that the time and expense of deposing Wendy M.

22

Oliver, William C. Myer, Jr., the person most knowledgeable for Piedmont Lumber & Mill

23

Company, and other noticed depositions can possibly be avoided, by delaying such depositions,

24

pending completion of settlement discussions.

25

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that postponing such depositions and other discovery

26

until after the Parties have completed settlement negotiations will facilitate prompt and effective

27

settlement discussions;
