DISCOVERYREMAINING TO BE COMPLETED The Parties plan to complete the following discovery: 1. Written discovery of all parties; 2. Subpoena new medical records for recent treatment of Plaintiff 3. Depositions of various witnesses including, but not limited to: a. The parties; 27 b. The parties’ retained initial and rebuttal experts; and 1 c. Other percipient witnesses as needed; 4. Initial Expert Disclosures; 5. Rebuttal Expert Disclosures; and 6. Other discovery as needed.

III.

REASONS DISCOVERY HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED Good cause exists to grant the Parties’ request for an extension to discovery deadlines. This is the first request for an extension. Despite the parties’ diligence and good faith attempts to pursue discovery in preparation for their respective case, majority of discovery remains to be completed.

15 To that end, the parties recently learned of two new parties that must be brought into the case. As a result, the parties agreed to stipulate to leave to file a Third-Party Complaint and bring the new parties into the matter. A Stipulation and Order in that regard was recently granted. Therefore, the parties respectfully request a 120-day extension to allow the new third party to participate in discovery. As such, the deadlines cannot be reasonably met despite the diligence of the Parties who seek the extension. See Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992).

The parties are actively engaging in discovery in this matter. Furthermore, the parties are acting in good faith in filing this Stipulation and without an intent to will not prejudice any party or have a negative impact upon the judicial administration of this Honorable Court. Accordingly, the Parties are requesting a 120-day extension to all remaining discovery deadlines.
