ORDER GRANTING THE STIPULATION TO
CONTINUE THE INITIAL SCHEDULING
CONFERENCE
(Doc. 11)

In this litigation, Plaintiff claims she was denied access to a strip mall in Taft, California due to

18

barriers that violate the Americans with Disabilities Ace, the Unruh Act and the California Disable

19

Persons Act. (Doc. 1)

20

On December 13, 2013, the parties conferred with the Court and it was determined that the most

21

efficient manner for the matter to proceed would be with a site inspection at which the parties would

22

attempt to come agreement whether there were barriers that exist and, if so, the measures that would be

23

needed to remediate the barriers. (Doc. 9) As a result, the Court ordered the site inspection to occur no

24

later than February 28, 2014 and that counsel file a joint report no later than March 28, 2014. Id.

25

Due to scheduling conflicts, the site inspection did not occur on or before February 28, 2014.

26

(Doc. 11) Moreover, no date was replacement site inspection date was selected and counsel allowed

27

nearly the entire month of March to lapse without making efforts to make the site inspection. Id.

28

Now, the parties propose to conduct the site inspection May 15, 2014 and explain that the delay is due
1

1

to the attorneys’ busy schedules as well as those of their experts. Id. at 2.

ORDER

3

Based upon the foregoing, the Court ORDERS:

6

2014, counsel SHALL also file a status report and also an amended joint scheduling report, as required

7

by the Court’s order setting mandatory scheduling conference (Doc. 4 at 3-8). In one of the reports,

8

counsel SHALL detail whether they still wish to be referred to the Court’s Voluntary Dispute

9

Resolution Program;

The further scheduling conference/status conference is CONTINUED to June 16, 2014
