STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING
DEADLINES FOR ADJUDICATING
PLAINTIFF-INTERVENOR CHRISTOPHER
LIPSEY’S CLAIM
Judge:
Hon. Kimberly Mueller
Action Filed: April 23, 1990
1
On June 3, 2021, the Court issued an order adopting the parties’ proposed schedule to
2
adjudicate Plaintiff-Intervenor Christopher Lipsey’s claim in intervention. See ECF No. 7191. Under
3
4
5
6
that schedule, fact discovery was to be completed by October 29, 2021. Id. ¶ 2. Other deadlines for
expert discovery and dispositive and Daubert motions followed from the fact discovery cutoff. Id.
¶ 3. After the magistrate judge granted in part Lipsey’s motion to compel on September 10, 2021 and
7
Defendants discovered an error in the execution of search terms that, when corrected, significantly
8
expanded the volume of documents to be reviewed and produced, the parties stipulated to, and the
9
Court ordered, an extension of the discovery deadlines on October 14, 2021. ECF No. 7344. Fact
10
11
12
13
14
discovery is now scheduled to close on December 16, 2021. Id. ¶ 1.
Lipsey and Defendants have been actively working to complete discovery on schedule but
again need more time. Lipsey’s responses to Defendants’ written discovery have taken longer than
expected as a result of the delays inherent in communicating with and collecting documents from an
15
incarcerated client, even with Defendants’ assistance in facilitating the process.
16
Defendants are continuing to review and produce documents collected in response to the motion to
17
compel ruling and the corrected search that contributed to the previous extension. Although the parties
18
hope to be able to complete these tasks by the current fact discovery deadline, there remains a
19
20
21
22
Additionally,
significant amount of discovery to be completed, including, but not limited to the parties’ need to
complete written discovery; Lipsey’s plan to schedule and complete ten fact witness depositions,
including those of high-level CDCR officials and at least one non-party, TimeKeeping Systems, Inc.
23
(the supplier of the Guard One system), whose counsel has represented to Lipsey’s counsel that it is
24
not available for a deposition until late December or early January; and Defendants’ plan to take
25
Lipsey’s deposition. The parties therefore request an extension of discovery deadlines.
