(“the University”) (collectively, “the Parties”) hereby stipulate as follows:
Pursuant to the Minute order of the Court dated December 18, 2013, the Final Pretrial
Conference set for January 30, 2014, and the Jury Trial date of March 3, 2014 were vacated.
Pursuant to the Minute order of the Court dated April 1, 2014, the Jury Trial was reset to
commence on January 12, 2015 at 9:00 a.m.
Pursuant to the Minute order of the Court dated April 1, 2014, the Final Pretrial

12

Trial counsel for Plaintiff, Mr. Jose Luis Fuentes, will be out of the country the entire

13

month of November 2014. Accordingly, Mr. Fuentes will not be available to participate in the

14

Final Pretrial Conference. Trail Counsel for Plaintiff, Dan Siegel, is running for elected office

15

and will not be able to participate on November 6, 2014 at the Pretrial Conference due to

16

election matters.

17

Counsel for the University, Mr. Michael J. Vartain, has a previously set trial in the

18

matter of Gail Marks vs. U.C. Hastings College of the Law, U.S. District Court - Northern

19

District, Case No. CV-133130-LB, which is set to commence on January 12, 2015.

20

Accordingly, Mr. Vartain will not be available to participate in the multi-week trial of this

21

matter, which is set to commence on the same date, January 12, 2015.

22

Good cause exists for the parties’ request for a continuance of the January 12, 2015 trial

23

date based on the fact that counsel for the University have previously set trial scheduled to take

24

place at the same time as the trial of this matter.

25

Good cause exists for the continuance of the November 6, 2014 Final Pretrial

26

Conference based on the fact the Plaintiffs counsel are unavailable due to matters set in motion

27

before the April 1, 2014 Minute Order.
