Case No. 1:18-cv-00438-AWI-BAM
ORDER GRANTING STIPULATION TO
AMEND SCHEDULING CONFERENCE
ORDER
(Doc. 120)

Defendants.

18

Currently before the Court is the parties’ stipulation to extend the remaining deadlines in

19

the Scheduling Conference Order. (Doc. 120.) The parties report that they have undertaken

20

preliminary written discovery and have produced over 6,000 pages of documents. The parties

21

further report that the pandemic has significantly delayed depositions in this matter as the parties

22

believe that “certain deposition will be more beneficial in this type of litigation if they are in

23

person.” (Id. at 2.) Additionally, the parties indicate that Defendant City of Fresno still has

24

significant restrictions on the interactions between employees and its outside counsel. The parties

25

believe an extension of the remaining deadlines will assist in completing discovery, retaining

26

experts, having further settlement discussions and preparing for trial. (Id.)
