STIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF
TIME TO COMPLETE DISCOVERY
(FIRST REQUEST)
Defendants.
17
COME NOW, the parties above named, by and through counsel, and move the
18
Honorable Magistrate Judge for an Order continuing Discovery and submit the instant Stipulation
19
in accordance with LR 6-1 and LR 26-4. The parties have conferred and agree that an extension
20
of remaining discovery dates (those remaining dates not expired prior to the stay imposed by the
21
Court) is both necessary and warranted following the Plaintiffs’ retention of new counsel after its
22
former counsel, George W. Carter, Esq. and co-counsel, David Lee Phillips, Esq. withdrew and
23
various discovery matters were not completed by Plaintiffs due to the issues previously
24
addressed in open Court on November 2, 2016 and December 4, 2017.
25
No previous requests or extensions for time in which to complete discovery in this matter
26
have been requested.

3
(a)
DISCOVERY THAT HAS BEEN COMPLETED
4
Counsel for the respective parties participated in a discovery planning conference
5
pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(f). Lists of witnesses and document productions were thereafter
6
exchanged by and between the parties. A Proposed Discovery Plan was filed on June 22, 2017
7
and Ordered by the Court on June 26, 2017.
8
Written discovery to the Plaintiffs has been served and answered, Plaintiffs’ depositions
9
have been previously scheduled, but those depositions were stayed by the Court Order.
10
Defendant has disclosed its expert.
11
(b)
DISCOVERY THAT REMAINS TO BE COMPLETED
12
The parties will be conducting additional factual and expert discovery, including the
13
depositions of Plaintiffs and of the parties affiliated with Defendant State Farm involved in the
14
handling of Plaintiff's claim. Plaintiffs and Defendant have agreed that Plaintiffs may disclose
15
their rebuttal expert as the time to do so had not yet expired when the Stay went into effect and
16
Defendant shall have the right to supplement its expert disclosure, if necessary.
17
(c)
18
REASONS DISCOVERY WILL NOT BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE TIME LIMITS SET
BY THE DISCOVERY PLAN
Due to the withdrawal of Plaintiffs’ former counsel and retention of new counsel, it has
19
become necessary to extend the discovery for a period of six months.
