21 MICHAEL DONNELLY, an individual
22 Third-Party Defendant

24
The parties respectfully request that the Court extend the deadline for
25
submitting dispositive motions set forth in the Court’s April 6, 2007 order by twenty-
26
one (21) days from February 29, 2008 to March 21, 2008.
27
The parties jointly request the extension because both parties’ expert witnesses
28
have requested two weeks beyond the discovery deadline of January 25, 2008 to

-1-
 1 supplement their respective expert reports. Because the witnesses were deposed as
2 late as January 24, 2008, they did not have sufficient time to supplement their reports
3 prior to the discovery deadline. Counsel for both parties expect to rely upon what
4 may be included in the supplemented reports in preparing their respective dispositive
5 motions and believe that the request is not excessive or unreasonable.
6 This is the first request to extend any deadline in this matter by either party.
7 Both parties do not expect the need for any further extensions to file dispositive
8 motions.
9 WHEREFORE, the parties jointly request that this Court modify its April 6,
10 2007 order by extending the deadline to file dispositive motions from February 29,
11 2008 to March 21, 2008.
