RESETTING BRIEFING
SCHEDULE
(Doc. 85)

17

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between counsel for Defendant, Stephanie

18

Virrey Gutcher, and counsel for Plaintiff, Andréa Marcus, that the briefing schedule be re-

19

set as follows:

20

1.

21
22
23

Defendant’s Responsive Brief, currently due on September 11, 2020, will
now be due September 18, 2020;

2.

Plaintiff’s Reply Brief, currently due on September 16, 2020, will now be
due September 25, 2020.

24

This request is made due to Defendant’s counsel’s suddenly inundated schedule.

25

Many of defense counsel’s clients are working as quickly as possible to re-open their

26

SDC classes, special education services, and get approval for in-person assessments.

27

As such, much of counsel’s week has been filled with last minute Zoom meetings,

28

conferences, and applications to allow schools to start in-person instruction by the end of

Stip/[Proposed] Order Resetting Briefing Schedule

1

September for our most fragile students. Moreover, new cohort guidance was released

2

on Friday, September 4, 2020, allowing a mix and match of teacher:student ratios, which

3

allowed many more of our classes to re-open.

4

Defense counsel is requesting a single week extension to file the responsive brief.

5

Defense counsel emailed opposing counsel and opposing counsel agreed to the one-

6

week extension.

7

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
