Joint Stipulation and Order to Modify Scheduling Order (1:11-cv-00981-LJO -GSA)
1
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b), Plaintiff SOLOMON T. STANLEY and
2
Defendant CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION
3
(collectively, “Parties”), by and through their counsel of record, jointly request that the Court
4
modify the Scheduling Order (Document 9) to allow the parties sufficient additional time to
5
complete both non-expert and expert discovery.
6
The Parties hereby stipulate as follows:
7
1.
The parties have attempted to comply with the Court’s original Scheduling Order.
8
Despite those efforts, the Parties cannot reasonably complete non-expert and expert discovery
9
within the current case schedule. The Parties therefore request that the Court modify the non-
10
expert and expert discovery cutoffs by two months (as specifically set forth below), leaving in
11
tact all remaining case dates including the filing of pretrial motions, pretrial conference and trial.
12
2.
The Parties represent that their inability to comply with the current case discovery
13
schedule was not foreseeable. Their inability is largely the result of deposition scheduling
14
difficulties presented by deponents (both parties and third parties) and counsel for the parties
15
being unavailable due to summer vacations, rendering it impossible for the parties to schedule and
16
complete non-expert depositions before the current non-expert discovery cut off of August 24,
17
2012.
18
3.
In addition, Deputy Attorney General William H. Littlewood is currently transitioning
19
this matter to another attorney within the Attorney General’s Office, Connie R. Broussard, in light
20
of his impending departure from Attorney General’s Office. The parties agree that additional
21
good cause exists for the request brief extension of the non-expert and expert discovery cut-offs
22
to allow Ms. Broussard the opportunity to get up to speed with the instant case in order to take
23
over as attorney of record for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
24
4.
This is the Parties’ first request to modify the Scheduling Order in this case.
25
5.
The Parties therefore agree that there is good cause to extend the deadlines in this
26
case as follows, with the trial date, pretrial conference date and pretrial motion filing deadline
27
remaining the same:
