STIPULATION AND ORDER AMENDING SCHEDULING ORDER
Plaintiffs and Defendants, through their counsel of record, stipulate to an amended pretrial schedule, and request an order of the Court as follows:
1.
The Second Amended Complaint in this action seeks injunctive relief regarding
5
the official policy of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”)
6
regarding modified programs and/or lockdowns.

2.
On August 28, 2012, the Court entered a Scheduling Order, setting pre-trial
deadlines, including a fact-discovery cutoff of March 13, 2013. See Dkt. 121.
3.
On August 28, 2012, the day discovery opened, Plaintiffs served Requests for
10
Production and Interrogatories on Defendants. On October 1, 2012, Defendants served
11
Responses to Plaintiffs’ Requests for Production and Interrogatories. On October 3, 2012,
12
Plaintiff moved to compel discovery, and the parties filed a Joint Statement on October 17, 2012.
13
4.
On October 26, 2012, the Court ordered that Defendants shall produce documents
14
on a rolling basis according to the schedule proposed by Defendants in the parties’ Joint
15
Statement, which proposed that all documents would be produced by November 26, 2012. The
16
Court also ordered the parties to meet and confer about electronic discovery.
17
5.
Since the Court’s Order, the parties have continued to meet and confer about
18
discovery. Defendants have been producing documents on a rolling basis. However,
19
Defendants’ document production is still ongoing and not yet complete. Defendants expect to
20
finish their production at the end of March - after the discovery cutoff - and Plaintiffs have
21
requested that production be completed earlier.
22
6.
On January 3, 2013, Plaintiffs noticed 14 additional depositions which have not
23
yet been scheduled. Defendants proposed dates for some of these depositions, which begin on
24
February 22 and continue through March 21 - after the discovery cut-off. Plaintiffs also
25
anticipate noticing the depositions of the named Defendants in this action.
26
7.
Given the discovery that remains outstanding, that Defendants do not expect to
27
finish their production until the end of March, that Plaintiffs will then need more time to review
28
and analyze those documents and determine if additional discovery or depositions are necessary
1
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER AMENDING SCHEDULING ORDER
1
based on the documents, and that Defendants proposed dates for depositions to take place after
2
the discovery cutoff, Plaintiffs requested a 30 day extension to the pre-trial deadlines in the
3
Court’s Scheduling Order. Defendants agreed and proposed a 45 day extension.
4
8.
The parties also agree that, given the outstanding discovery and the need for fact
5
discovery to be completed to evaluate the need for experts, the deadline for expert disclosures
6
should be extended by an additional 15 days, or by 60 days total.
