Stipulation and [] Order Extending Litigation Schedule

RONALD M. WHYTE, District Judge.

Plaintiff ABIGAYIL TAMARA and Defendants EL CAMINO HOSPITAL and DAVID DIGANT hereby jointly stipulate and request through their attorneys of record as follows:

1. The Court issued its trial setting order on January 13, 2013, Docket no. 24. The Court modified the schedule to provide extra time for discovery, based on a stipulation and Order signed on November 15, 2013. Docket no. 5. The parties requested that stipulation based on their desire to enter mediation.

2. The parties participated in mediation with Judge James Larson at JAMS on January 13, 2014. They made good progress in settling the case. They discovered that the parties need further information from outside agencies and third parties before they can make further settlement commitments. They requested the Court give them more time to conclude mediation.

3. On February 18, 2014, the Court extended deadlines. The current litigation schedule for this case is as follows:

4. The parties have made a great deal of progress informally and have agreed to settle injunctive relief.

5. The parties wish to continue mediating plaintiff's damages claim. They are planning a mediation date in June, potentially as early as June 6, 2014.

6. The deadline for disclosing experts is June 10, 2014. Unless the deadline is extended the parties will be forced to prepare those disclosures and incur expert witness fees between now and the mediation.

7. Wherefore, the parties request that the Court extend time for expert witness disclosure one month to July 10, 2014, enabling the parties to resolve the matter without unnecessary expenditure of resources.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

Good cause having been shown, the Court grants the parties' stipulation and sets the Expert Disclosure for July 10, 2014.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
