COUNTY OF CONTRA COSTA, et al., Defendants.

United States District Court

For the Northern District of California

12

With good cause appearing, and pursuant to the parties' stipulation, IT IS HEREBY

13 ORDERED that Plaintiffs may have until October 15, 2009, to file their reply to 14 Defendants' opposition to Plaintiffs' motion for class certification. IT IS FURTHER 15 ORDERED that the October 26, 2009 hearing date is VACATED. The Court will notify the 16 parties if it determines that oral argument is necessary to resolve Plaintiffs' motion. 17 Plaintiffs are advised that the Court is currently strongly inclined to exercise its

18 discretion to grant a stay pending resolution of the en banc proceedings in Bull v. City and 19 County of San Francisco in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, as such 20 a stay would appear to be the most efficient use of judicial resources. However, the Court 21 reserves final ruling on this issue until after review of Plaintiffs' reply papers. 22 23 IT IS SO ORDERED. 24 25 Dated: 10/08/09 26 27 28 THELTON E. HENDERSON, JUDGE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
