conference as soon as possible, but no later than January 7, 2011, with Oscar Rivera, Courtroom Deputy to Judge Grewal. Mr. Rivera can be reached at 408-535-5378. The parties' request that their principals attend the settlement conference by telephone is denied. Principals must attend the settlement conference in person. At the November 23, 2010 Case Management Conference, this Court ordered the parties to complete expert discovery by January 14, 2011. See Dkt. No. 80. The parties now jointly request that the expert discovery deadline be continued to February 7, 2011 in light of scheduling concerns. As neither party seeks to continue the pretrial conference or court trial dates, this Court GRANTS the parties' request. Thus, the deadline for expert discovery is continued to February 7, 2011. IT IS SO ORDERED. Dated: December 29, 2010 _________________________________ LUCY H. KOH United States District Judge
