STIPULATION REQUESTING MODIFICATION OF THE TRIAL MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE PURSUANT TO FRCP 16; LOCAL RULE 16-240; ORDER

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the undersigned parties, by and through their Attorneys of record, as follows:

The parties agree and request that this Honorable Court modify its Trial Management Schedule based on good cause for the following reasons:

1. This is a personal injury case based upon allegations of negligence, which arises from workplace accident at the Sacramento International Airport ("SMF") on February 19, 2016, llegedly involving a tug owned by DELTA AIRLINES and maintained by NORTH CAROLINA AVIATION SERVICES, dbalaka GLOBAL AVIATION SERVICES.

2. On November 22, 2016, the Initial Case Management Conference was held in this case.

3. On November 22, 2016, the Honorable District Judge Vincent Chhabria Order After Hearing, setting forth the Trial Management Schedule for this case as follows:

Fact discovery cut-off 8/18/2017 Expert disclosure 8/18/2017 Expert rebuttal 9/8/2017 Expert discovery cut-off 9/29/2017 Last day to file Dispositive 10/6/2017 (contact CRD re Motions preferred location of hearing) Pretrial conference 2/5/2018 (1:30 p.m. in S.F.) Jury Trial 2/12/2018 (8:30 a.m. in Sac.) Number of trial days TBD at PTC

4. On June 19, 2017, the Honorable District Judge Vincent Chhabria issued an Order on Stipulation for Modification of Order Setting Trial Management Schedule, modifying the Trial Management Schedule for this case as follows:

That the fact discovery deadline shall be 9/18/2017; That the expert witness disclosure date shall be 9/18/2017; That the expert rebuttal date shall be 10/9/2017; That the expert discovery cut-off shall be 10/30/2017; That the last day to file diapositive motions shall be 11/6/2017.

5. Since issuance of the foregoing Trial Management Schedule and the subsequent Order on Stipulation for Modification of Order Setting Trial Management Schedule, the parties have continued to diligently pursue discovery, including written discovery, subpoenaing of medical and employment records and completing eight depositions, including Plaintiff, four current Global employees, one former Global employee, and two witnesses to the subject incident and the events which occurred immediately thereafter.

6. However, despite the parties' efforts to complete discovery in this case prior to the current cut-off date of September 18, 2017, the parties will be unable to do so as Plaintiff has not completed medical treatment.

7. While the parties have previously subpoenaed Plaintiff's medical records, Plaintiff testified at his recent deposition that he recently underwent a further surgical procedure and, to date, has not completed all recommended treatment. As such, the parties will be unable to obtain Plaintiff's complete medical records prior to the current deadline, or to complete an Independent Medical Examination, if necessary.

8. The parties have also agreed to attempt to mediate the matter in November, 2017, and are in the process of selecting an agreeable mediator and date. The parties would like to complete the mediation prior to the fact discovery deadline.

9. Accordingly, the parties agree and request that this Honorable Court modify its Trial Management Schedule Order as follows

• That the fact discovery deadline shall be extended 4 months to 1/18/2018; • That the expert witness disclosure date shall be extended 4 months to 1/18/2018; • That the expert rebuttal date shall be extended 4 months to 2/9/2018; • That the expert discovery cut-off shall be extended 4 months to 2/28/2018; • That the last day to file dispositive motions shall be extended 4 months to 3/6/2018; • That the Pretrial Conference and all related dates be continued approximately 4 months and be reset pursuant to the Court's availability in June, 2018; and • That the Jury Trial and all related dates be continued approximately 4 months and be reset pursuant to the Court's availability in late June or early July, 2018.

10. The parties agree that this modification will best serve the parties' interests in light of the discovery which remains to be completed in this case in order to adequately prepare the case for trial, as well as the parties' desire to mediate the matter prior to the fact discovery deadline.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
