K. PLILER, et al., 2:04-cv-1183 TLN DB P Plaintiff, STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANTS TO FILE THEIR PRETRIAL STATEMENT AND OPPOSITION TO THE ATTENDANCE OF INCARCERATED WITNESSES FOR TRIAL; PROPOSED ORDER 17 Defendants. 18 19 20 21 STIPULATION The parties to this action stipulate, and seek court approval of their stipulation, to modify 22 the scheduling order to allow Defendants to file a pretrial statement and opposition to the 23 attendance of incarcerated witnesses for trial no later than November 17, 2017. The stipulation is 24 necessary because counsel for Defendants is currently assigned full-time to the matter of 25 Coleman, et al., v. Brown, et al., Case No. 2:90-cv-00522-KJM-KJN. 26 Coleman, et al., v. Brown, et al., is a long-running class action concerning mental-health 27 care for California state prison inmates, in the remedial stage. A contempt hearing was set for 28 November 3, 2017, for consideration of findings of contempt and consideration of sanctions for 1 Stipulation to Extend Time for Defendants to File Pretrial Statement and Opposition to Request for the Attendance of Incarcerated Witnesses; Proposed Order (2:04-cv-1183 TLN DB P) 1 non-compliance with court directives that may have accumulated between May 16, 2017, and the 2 November hearing. (ECF No. 5610 at 11.) Counsel for Defendants was assigned to assist the 3 team of attorneys assigned to Coleman to prepare for the November 3, 2017 hearing. The hearing 4 was vacated, to be rescheduled at a later date. (ECF No. 5720.) Although the November 3 5 hearing is currently off calendar, defendants anticipate that the matter will be re-set and the 6 evidence will need to be presented. A November 9, 2017 deadline was set for completion of the 7 work assigned including, finalizing record reviews and preserving witness testimony so that the 8 Coleman defendants are prepared to proceed when the court places the matter back on its 9 calendar. However, counsel for Defendants in this matter did not receive a complete set of 10 medical records for the Coleman project until November 7, 2017, therefore, time for completion 11 of the Coleman project was extended. 12 Accordingly, the parties, through their respective counsel of record, stipulate that the 13 deadline for Defendants Pliler, Rosario, Stiles, Goughnour and Vance to file their pretrial 14 statement and an opposition to the attendance of incarcerated witnesses for trial shall be extended 15 to November 17, 2017. 16 17 IT IS SO STIPULATED: Dated: November 13, 2017 /s/ Matthew Strugar__________________ Matthew Strugar Attorney for Plaintiff Rex Chappell Dated: November 13, 2017 /s/ Kelli M.
