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. 1 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. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 In accordance with the foregoing, the dates shall be extended as follows: Case Management Event: Prior-Operative Deadline: Non-Expert Discovery Deadline June 1, 2015 Expert Disclosures June 22, 2015 Rebuttal-Supplemental Expert Disclosures July 20, 2015 Expert Discovery Deadline August 31, 2015 Non-Dispositive Motion Filing Deadline September 18, 2015 Non-Dispositive Motion Hearing October 16, 2015 Deadline Dispositive Motion (MSJ) Filing Deadline September 21, 2015 Dispositive Motion (MSJ) Hearing October 26, 2015 Deadline Final Pre-Trial Conference December 16, 2015 10:00 a.m., Ctrm 2 TRIAL February 23, 2016 8:30 a.m., Ctrm 2 (5-7 trial days) New Operative Deadline: November 20, 2015 November 20, 2015 November 27, 2015 December 18, 2015 January 13, 2016 February 10, 2016 February 12, 2016 March 28, 2016 May 11, 2016 10:00 a.m., Ctrm 2 July 6, 2016 8:30 a.m., Ctrm 2 (6-7 trial days) 23 IT IS SO ORDERED. 24 25 Dated: October 16, 2015 /s/ Sheila K.
