Plaintiff Sushama Gokhale (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Dolby Laboratories, Inc.,

25

Jeffrey Fehervari, and Conroy Shum (collectively, “Defendants”) (Plaintiffs and Defendants are

26

collectively referred to herein as the “Parties”), having met and conferred and agreeing that it is

27

necessary to modify the Court’s Scheduling Order, as modified on August 23, 2018

28

(“Scheduling Order”) (ECF No. 49) as it pertains to expert witness disclosures and expert

Modification of the Scheduling Order is warranted for the following reason: Plaintiff’s

9

expert was unexpectedly evacuated from his home on November 8th due to the wild fires in Los

10

Angeles County. Accordingly, Plaintiff’s expert is having to deal with significant personal

11

issues, which have recently arisen through no fault of his own and that are beyond his control.

12

Plaintiff therefore believes it is necessary to postpone expert witness disclosures to permit

13

Plaintiff’s expert witness to attend to personal matters related to the current wildfires.

14

Defendants are not opposed to the requested modification to the scheduling order.

15

The proposed modifications will not affect any other dates or deadlines set by the Court.

16

The Parties previously jointly requested a modification of the Scheduling Order on July 24,

17

2018, which was granted. (ECF No. 33.) Plaintiff also subsequently filed an opposed motion to

18

modify the scheduling order on August 9, 2018, which the Court granted-in-part and denied-in-

19

part and which resulted in the current schedule. (ECF No. 49.)

20

IT IS SO STIPULATED, through Counsel of Record.
