MAECHTLEN I, Laura J. Maechtlen, declare as follows: 1. I am a partner with the law firm Seyfarth Shaw LLP, counsel of record for Defendant. I am licensed to practice law in California, am a member in good standing of the California State Bar and am admitted to practice before the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of California. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein, and if called to testify, I could and would testify competently thereto. 2. The parties have met and conferred regarding the date for Plaintiff's deposition. The parties have agreed to April 1, 2010, however the deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses is currently April 1, 2010. Defendant requires the completion of Plaintiff's deposition prior to expert disclosures and, in turn, a short extension of time to ensure completion of the disclosure of rebuttal or supplemental experts, and expert witness designations. Plaintiff does not disagree. 3. The dates proposed in the parties Stipulation To Amend Discovery Dates will not alter the Court's calendar, as they do not seek alternative dates for court appearances or hearing dates. The parties request only a short 2-week continuance for certain discovery dates, to accommodate the parties schedules. 4. The parties are continuing to engage in informal settlement negotiations and have proposed mediation. The parties hope to participate in a mediation in the first week of April 2010. A short continuance of certain dates will allow the parties to conduct mediation prior to the deadline for expert discovery, which may allow the parties to direct resources toward mediation, instead of expert disclosures. I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the forgoing is true and correct. Executed this 2nd day of March 2010 at San Francisco, California. _____________________________________ Laura J.
