The parties to this case, through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and request that the date for completion of discovery in this matter be continued three weeks from May 5, 2010, to May 26, 2010. The parties jointly make this request on the following basis: The parties had four depositions noticed for the week of April 19, 2010. However, on the afternoon of April 16, 2010, the parties revived their settlement negotiations, and are hopeful that the case will resolve with a settlement. Since Plaintiff Intervenor Black Swan now resides in Hawaii, the parties have determined that at this point it would be prudent and cost effective to continue settlement negotiations during the week of April 19, 2010, rather than incur the expense

of the depositions, and, in the case of Plaintiff EEOC and Plaintiff Intervenor, the additional expense of Plaintiff Intervenor traveling from Hawaii to San Francisco for her deposition.
