STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TRIAL

GLORIA M. NAVARRO, District Judge.

STIPULATION

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-1, 7-1, 26-4, Defendant, Ralphs Grocery Company dba Food 4 Less (hereinafter "Food 4 Less"), by and through its attorneys, Wolfe & Wyman LLP, and Jamie Pacheco (hereinafter "Plaintiff"), by and through her attorneys, the Richard Harris Law Firm, hereby agree and stipulate to extend trial as follows:

I. Local Rule 6-1

Under Local Rule 6-1(b) every stipulation to extend time must inform the court of a previous extensions granted and state the reason for the extension requested. This is the first request for extension of trial filed by the parties. The parties are seeking this extension because the plaintiff is very ill. A mandatory settlement conference was set for October 27, 2015 and was vacated because the Plaintiff was admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital for intestine and colon issues. The mandatory settlement conference was re-set to December 3, 2015. Unfortunately, Plaintiff was recently scheduled for surgery to place a stent near her colon and remains hospitalized. The December 3, 2015 mandatory settlement conference was vacated and will be reset at a later date. A telephonic status hearing is scheduled for December 15, 2015. Thus, the parties are requesting the Court modify the Scheduling Order, so that trial is extended until April or May of 2016.

II. Proposed Trial Dates

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED between Plaintiffs and Defendants, by and through their undersigned attorneys, that the trial shall be continued due to Plaintiff being hospitalized.

ORDER

FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

An amended scheduling order will be issued and trial is now set to be heard on May 16, 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
