On October 15, 2015, the Court held a Scheduling Conference pursuant to the Court’s

19 Order vacating dates and granting Plaintiffs’ ex parte application to reset all deadlines (Doc. 70).
20 Kay Parker, Esq., appeared on behalf of Plaintiffs Diane Goins and Wesley Rentfrow. Roger
21 Matzkind, Esq., appeared on behalf of Defendants County of Merced and County of Merced
22 District Attorney. Jamie Boussuat, Esq., appeared on behalf of Defendant Merle Wayne Hutton.
23

As discussed during the Scheduling Conference, in accordance with the Court’s original

24 Scheduling Order, any motion or stipulation to amend the pleadings was required to have been
25 filed by no later than September 18, 2014. (See Doc. 37.) At the conference, Plaintiffs indicated
26 that they may file a motion to amend the complaint based on new information. The Court stated
27 that absent good cause, such a request would be denied as the deadline to request leave to amend
28 passed over twelve months ago.

Also discussed at the Scheduling Conference was the proposed scope of additional fact

2 discovery which Plaintiffs seek. The parties are reminded that non-expert discovery is not being
3 opened for an unlimited purpose. Plaintiffs will be limited to discovery which former counsel
4 William Smith, Esq., either planned to do and disclosed to Defendants prior to his passing, or
5 began and left unfinished due to his passing.

Discovery previously completed will not be

6 reopened. The parties are ordered to meet and confer by October 19, 2015, to determine the scope
7 of any further fact discovery that is necessary to move the case forward. In the event that an
8 agreement cannot be reached on the scope of additional discovery sought, the parties may contact
9 the Court for an informal discovery dispute conference.

No further extensions of the fact

10 discovery cutoff will be entertained by the Court.
