STIPULATION
1 1. This case is set for Readiness & Settlement Conference on October 27, 2023 and trial
2 on November 20, 2023. The current expert witness discovery deadline is November 6,
3 2023.
4 2. On July 28, 2023 the Court moved the hearings dates for the Motions for Summary
5 Judgments filed by CalPortland and the County of Santa Barbara from July 31, 2023
6 to October 16, 2023.
7 3. Prior to the Court’s order, the parties had scheduled a mediation with RA Carrington.
8 for October 3, 2023. All the parties had agreed that it would be advantageous to have
9 a mediation after the hearings on the Summary Judgment motions and prior to the
10 expenditure of funds for expert witness discovery.
11 4. An October 16, 2023 hearing on the Summary Judgment Motions inadvertently
12 frustrates the schedule the parties agreed to amongst themselves. The result of the
13 Summary Judgment motions will greatly influence what, if any, progress can be made
14 at a mediation.
15 5. The parties will reschedule the October 3, 2023 mediation for a date subsequent to the
16 October 16, 2023 hearing on the Summary Judgment motions.
17 6. The foregoing recitals are incorporated by reference into this Stipulation.
18 7. The parties request that the trial date be continued to February 12, 2024 or a date
19 thereafter that is available on the Court’s calendar, and the readiness and settlement
20 conference be continued to January 12, 2024.
21 8. The parties agree that all trial related dates, including deadlines relating to fact and
22 expert discovery and pre-trial motion cut-off dates, shall follow the new trial date.
