Plaintiffs' causes of action arise out of a traffic stop wherein Plaintiffs allege that Defendants Courtnier and White (hereinafter collectively "Defendants") violated their federal and state civil rights by unlawfully using an excessive amount of force against them. The parties have participated in two settlement conferences before Magistrate Judge Larson. The matter did not resolve.

According to the Court's April 17, 2009, Pretrial Preparation Order the parties must file their initial set of pretrial materials by April 13, 2010 and attend a Pretrial Conference scheduled to take place on April 27, 2010. Jury trial is set to begin on Monday, May 10, 2010. However, it was recently brought to plaintiff counsel's attention that Plaintiff,

Laila McCloskey, Mr. McCloskey's wife, is pregnant. According to the Plaintiffs, Mrs. McCloskey originally expected to deliver her baby at the end of May. Now, due to unforeseen circumstances, specifically, the baby's development and position in the womb Plaintiff's obstetrician recently advised Mrs. McCloskey that she may need to undergo a caesarian section in order to safely deliver her child. To that end, Mrs. McCloskey's

obstetrician advanced Mrs. McCloskey's delivery date by two weeks, effectively placing the delivery date at or about the jury trial start date. Mrs. McCloskey's condition limits her ability to assist in preparation for trial, and is expected to do so for some time. Defendants' counsel has recently become aware of a new Ninth Circuit opinion issued twelve days ago, Brooks v. City of Seattle, ___ F.3d ___ , 2010 WL 1135776, 10 Cal. Daily Op. Serv. 3779, C.A.9 (Wash.), March 26, 2010 (NO. 08-35526). The defendants believe that the case is point and respectfully request an opportunity to bring a dispositive motion on a date convenient to the Court during July or August 2010.
