STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER TO AMEND CASE SCHEDULE

RICARDO S. MARTINEZ, Chief District Judge.

I. INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4) and Local Civil Rules 7(d)(1), 7(j), 10(g) and 16(b)(4) the parties, plaintiff CERTAIN UNDERWRITERS at LLOYD'S, LONDON, Subscribing to Policies Numbered 8029663, 8001778, 8071754, 8072492, 8072737, and 8071620 ("Plaintiffs" or "Underwriters"), and defendant, Jeff Pettit ("Defendant" or "Pettit") by and through their respective counsel, jointly move this Court for an order extending the trial date and pretrial deadlines set forth in the Court's May 2, 2017 Order Setting Trial Date and Related Dates (Dkt. 11) as follows:

II. RELEVANT FACTS AND BASES FOR STIPULATED MOTION

On April 9, 2018 the Courtroom Deputy notified Defendant that, due to a conflict on Judge Martinez's calendar, it was very unlikely that our trial would go forward as scheduled. The parties desire a fixed date in order to accommodate several experts and elderly witnesses who will be testifying at the trial. The Courtroom Deputy suggested the parties agree on a new trial date and she offered various dates. Of the dates offered by the Courtroom Deputy, the parties have selected a new trial date of October 29, 2018. The parties have also agreed on the revised pre-trial deadlines as set forth above. The plaintiff opposes other deadline extensions. The defendant reserves the right to move for an order extending the discovery motion deadline to June 7, 2018, the discovery deadline to June 29, 2018, and deadline for dispositive motions to July 27, 2018.

III. CONCLUSION

By this Motion, the parties propose new case deadlines in light of the Court's conflict with the current trial date. The parties therefore jointly request that the Court amend the case schedule as set forth above and in the concurrently filed Proposed Order, while reserving defendant's right to move for additional changes in the pretrial schedule.

ORDER

Pursuant to the above stipulated motion, the Court hereby orders that the trial date and pre-trial deadlines in this matter be continued and extended as follows, reserving defendant's right to move to extend other pretrial deadlines:
