Case No. 4:17-cv-04818-HSG
SECOND STIPULATION AND
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE CASE
SCHEDULING
Complaint Filed: 06/16/17
[Napa County Superior Court
Case No. 17CV000666]

The parties mediated the case with Matthew S. Conant, Esq., on October 31, 2018. The

22

mediation was unsuccessful. In good faith anticipation of the mediation, the parties postponed the

23

depositions of some of plaintiffs’ non-retained expert witnesses, in order to hopefully avoid

24

incurring the cost of taking them in the event of a successful mediation. This - along with the

25

approaching holidays, plaintiffs’ counsel’s opportunity to attend a conference the week after

26

Thanksgiving, and defense counsel’s opportunity to attend a conference the following week - has

27

tightened the calendar somewhat. The parties have met and conferred for the purpose of revising
