20
The parties to this action hereby stipulate and request as follows:
21
On July 11, 2012, the Court issued a Pretrial Order, setting various dates and deadlines,
22
including an amended expert discovery cutoff of November 15, 2012, a final pretrial conference
23
on January 18, 2013, and a trial commencing on February 4, 2013. The Court advised that this
24
was the “final case schedule” and that “Both Plaintiff and Defendant are expected to comply as
25
directed above. This schedule will not be amended further absent the presentation of good cause
26
necessitating such an amendment.” The parties hereby seek extensions to these Court-ordered
27
dates.

STIPULATION CONTINUING TRIAL AND PRETRIAL DATES; [PROPOSED] ORDER
Case No. C11-02892 EJD
1
Prior to the deadline of October 15, 2012, Plaintiff served a document indicating that he
2
was designating his treating psychiatrist, Catherine Reed, M.D., as an expert witness in this
3
case. After conferring with Dr. Reed’s office on October 15, 2012, defendant’s counsel began
4
conferring with Mr. Hosea regarding obtaining a signed authorization allowing Dr. Reed to
5
provide documents and testimony regarding Mr. Hosea’s psychiatric care. Dr. Reed’s office
6
had indicated that either a signed authorization or a court order would be required before the
7
deposition could be scheduled. After conferring with Mr. Hosea from October 16 through
8
October 26, 2012, about the authorization form and a possible protective order, Mr. Hosea
9
advised that a motion to compel would be necessary.
10
Defendant filed a motion to compel on November 7, 2012. After receiving the motion,
11
Mr. Hosea reconsidered and agreed to sign the authorization and stipulated protective order. He
12
emailed signed versions of those documents to defendant’s counsel on the afternoon of Friday,
13
November 9, 2012.
14
On the next business day, November 13, 2012, defendant’s counsel contacted Dr.
15
Reed’s office to attempt to schedule the deposition and to prepare the paperwork to allow for
16
payment for Dr. Reed’s deposition time. Defendant’s counsel also contacted Plaintiff and
17
asked if he would stipulate to extend the expert discovery deadline to December 20, 2012.
18
After discussion, he agreed. The parties therefore STIPULATE AND REQUEST that the
19
expert discovery deadline be extended to December 20, 2012.
20
Defendant’s counsel also noted that, as currently scheduled, defendant’s summary
21
judgment motion will be heard on the same date as the final pretrial conference. In order to
22
allow for the parties to have the benefit of the Court’s decision on summary judgment before
23
preparation of pretrial papers, the parties hereby STIPULATE AND REQUEST that the dates
24
for the pretrial conference and the trial, currently scheduled for January 18, 2013 and February
25
4, 2013, respectively, be continued approximately four weeks or to another date convenient to
26
the Court.
