The parties to this action, by and through their attorneys of record, Michael Groves for Defendants and Haddad & Sherwin for Plaintiff, hereby stipulate as follows: As the Court is aware, this case involves serious injuries to Plaintiff, who is a diagnosed schizophrenic, associated with a San Jose Police action in 2006. The case was filed in 2007 and is currently set for trial on February 4, 2009. Pursuant to an earlier Stipulation by the parties and an Order issued by this court, the parties began settlement discussions with Magistrate Judge Seeborg. As Judge Seeborg detected, the primary impediment to settlement concerns the type of fracture Plaintiff suffered to his lower left leg and the consequent cause of injury. In light of this, Judge Seeborg made a variety of suggestions regarding how to resolve these issues. The parties have and continue to collaborate in an attempt to resolve these issues. Judge Seeborg has remained involved and the parties are keeping him informed of all developments. Plaintiff will shortly submit to Defendants an expert report from orthopedic traumatologist who has studied the problem. Defendants will then submit that report as well as other reports and depositions of the expert medical practitioners involved in this matter to another expert who will generate a further report. Due to these efforts and the desire to exhaust all possibilities for settlement through Judge Seeborg instead of expending further time and funds working the case up for trial, the parties, in consultation with Judge Seeborg, have stipulated to and hereby seek a change in the currently scheduled trial and pretrial dates. Expert revealing dates and discovery cut-off will remain open and be dealt with by the parties by stipulation as part of their collaborative effort. The current trial and pretrial dates are as follows: Joint Pretrial Conference Statement, In Limine Motions, and Proposed Jury Instructions due: Final Pretrial Conference: Jury Selection & Trial: December 12, 2008

January 12, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. February 4, 2009 at 9:00 a.m.
