FRESNO COUNTY, et al.,

14

Defendants.
_____________________________________/

16

On January 29, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation requesting that the Court enter a stay of

17 proceedings because Plaintiff Dominic Hanna's ("Plaintiff") mental competence had become an
18 issue in a separate Fresno County Superior Court case which would impact the proceedings in this
19 case. The parties' request to stay the case was granted on February 4, 2015, and the case has been
20 stayed since that time.
21

On May 8, 2015, the parties filed a stipulation regarding the status of the case. The parties

22 indicated that the Fresno County Superior Court found Plaintiff competent to stand trial in the
23 criminal proceedings before that court. (Doc. 57.) The parties agreed that Plaintiff will serve his
24 Rule 26 initial disclosures by June 8, 2015, and Plaintiff would file a request to discharge
25 Plaintiff's guardian ad litem, Kathy Henderson, as Plaintiff was determined to be competent.
26

Defendants anticipate their counsel will be substituted in May 2015. Due to the need for

27 new counsel to become familiar with the case, Defendants will serve their Rule 26 initial
28 disclosures by June 8, 2015.

1

As this case has been stayed for approximately 3 months, the parties shall file a status

2 report by no later than June 12, 2015, indicating whether the schedule requires modification and, if
3 so, the parties shall submit a proposed schedule with new deadlines.
4

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

5

1.

This stay of litigation is LIFTED;

6

2.

The parties agree to serve their initial disclosures by no later than June 8, 2015; and

7

3.

By no later than June 12, 2015, the parties shall file a status report indicating

8

whether new scheduling deadlines are necessary due to the 3 month stay of

9

litigation, and if so, they shall propose new scheduling deadlines.
