VINCE CHHABRIA, District Judge.
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS CORPORATION and Defendant SPOT LIGHTING SUPPLIES, INC. hereby stipulate as follows:
The parties are engaging in settlement discussions at this time and desire to attempt to resolve this matter prior to completing the above-referenced discovery. Counsel for Defendant was in trial from January 5th through January 13th in the San Jose branch of this Court on another case, (5:08-cv-05296-PSG), which was only set for trial in October 2014. At the pretrial conference in the San Jose case on December 16, 2014, the Court also ordered additional fact and expert discovery to take place prior to December 31, 2014, even though discovery had previously closed in 2011 in that matter. Defense counsel's trial, pretrial deadlines, ordered discovery and trial preparation for the January 5, 2015 trial impacted the parties' ability to have meaningful settlement discussions and complete discovery in this matter, following the December 11, 2014 Early Neutral Evaluation and prior to the previously set deadlines.
There have been no prior modifications of any of the deadlines set by this Court in this matter.
Trial in this matter is set for November 9, 2015, with a Pretrial conference on October 27, 2015. The deadline for Motion hearings is August 20, 2015. These deadlines are not affected by the requested scheduling change.
As PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS CORPORATION does not so stipulate, Defendant SPOT LIGHTING SUPPLIES, INC. reserves its right to move the Court for leave to complete its 30(b) deposition of PHOTOGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATORS CORPORATION, should the matter not resolve in February as a result of the parties' settlement negotiations.
IT IS SO STIPULATED:
