1
Plaintiff and Defendants submit this Joint Trial Plan pursuant to the Court’s March 27,
2
2015 Order granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Separate Trial on her Sixth Cause of Action for
3
inspection of the Koret Foundation’s books and records.

Duration of Trial:
The parties estimate that trial of the Sixth Cause of Action will
likely require no more than three to four 4.25 hour trial days.
Trial Date:
The parties conditionally propose the following dates for trial of the Sixth
Cause of Action:
8
May 18-22, 2015;
9
May 26-29, 2015; and
June 4-5, 2015
10
11
The above trial dates are conditional because Susan Harriman, lead trial counsel for
12
Defendants, is scheduled to begin a two-week jury trial on April 27, 2015 in San Mateo County
13
Superior Court. By no later than April 17, 2015, Defendants will advise Plaintiff and the Court
14
whether the April 27, 2015 trial is likely to proceed on a schedule that will enable them to
15
adequately prepare for trial of the Sixth Cause of Action on the above dates.
16
17
In the event that the above dates cannot be accommodated due to the April 27, 2015 trial,
the parties have agreed to the following alternative dates:
18
July 27-31, 2015
19
August 3-7, 2015
20
Regardless of which trial dates are selected, the parties agree that consecutive trial days
21
are not necessary and that trial can and should take place over the earliest available three to four
22
non-consecutive days.
23
24
Trial Briefs: The parties have agreed to exchange and file trial briefs no later than seven
days before the first day of trial.
25
Percipient Witness Lists: The parties have agreed to exchange lists of the percipient
26
witnesses whom they intend to call in their direct cases, along with time estimates and a brief
27
summary of the anticipated testimony, by no later than May 1, 2015.
28
Expert Witness Disclosures: The parties have agreed to disclose the names and the
1
JOINT TRIAL PLAN
Case No. CGC 14-542069
935556.01
1
general subject matter of the testimony of any experts they intend to call as witnesses in their
2
direct cases by no later than May 1, 2015. Any supplemental disclosures shall be served by no
3
later than May 8, 2015.
4
Direct Examination by Declaration: The parties have agreed that direct examinations of
5
witnesses may be introduced by written declaration, rather than live testimony, but that
6
declarations of all witnesses shall not be required.
7
Depositions: The parties have agreed that time spent questioning any witnesses in
8
deposition in preparation for trial of the Sixth Cause of Action shall not count towards the seven
9
hour limit imposed by California Code of Civil Procedure § 2025.290, if applicable, nor shall
10
11
such depositions be a bar to further depositions of the same witness.
Fact Stipulations: The parties have agreed to meet and confer prior to trial in an attempt
12
to stipulate to any undisputed facts relevant to trial of the Sixth Cause of Action. Any such
13
stipulations shall be filed with the Court by no later than seven days prior to the first day of trial.
14
Statement of Demands: Plaintiff shall serve on Defendants a written statement of any
15
specific or general demands and refusals on which she bases her Sixth Cause of Action, including
16
the dates on which such demands and refusals were made, by no later than April 17, 2015. To the
17
extent Plaintiff does not intend to rely on any specific or general demands and refusals, her
18
written statement shall so state.
