California, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE, GILBERT CHAVEZ, BRIAN

23

MORENO, and ALFRED WILBON, hereinafter collectively referred to as “County

24

Defendants,” filed an objection to the Court’s Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order (“IPTSO,”

25

ECF No. 4) on September 29, 2017. ECF No. 14. Therein, County Defendants object to

26

the discovery deadlines imposed in the Court’s IPTSO, claiming that because they were

27

not served with process until nearly four months after the Complaint was filed, the

28

Court’s order requiring completion of discovery within 365 days of the date the case was
1

1

opened is not reasonable. In light of Plaintiff’s delayed service on County Defendants,

2

and having received no opposition from Plaintiff, the Court finds good cause to amend

3

the IPTSO to extend the discovery deadline.

4

It is therefore ordered that discovery shall be completed not later than 365 days

5

from the date the last County Defendant was served, which was August 1, 2017. All

6

other dates and deadlines set forth in the IPTSO shall be triggered from this revised

7

discovery deadline.1 The parties are further ordered to meet and confer as required by

8

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) not later than 30 days from the date of electronic

9

filing of this Order.

The parties are advised that the IPTSO as revised by this Order will become final without further
order of the Court unless objections are filed within sixty (60) days of electronic filing of this Order.
Thereafter, extensions may be sought by stipulation or by way of a motion to amend the IPTSO, per
Section VII of the IPTSO.
