Pursuant to Local Rules 16-2(d) and 7-12, Plaintiff Jeffrey E. Walker and Defendants

discovery to attempt to more precisely frame the issues in dispute and to determine whether the

2

dispute is amenable to settlement.

3

The parties agree that the interests of justice would be served by a 84 day continuance of

4

the CMC. This will allow the parties to continue with preliminary discovery, provide counsel

5

for all parties to continue their respective analysis of the issues, and allow the parties to discuss

6

resolving the dispute without further judicial assistance, obviating the Conference. Further,

7

counsel for Defendants, Deputy City Attorney Lewis, will be on vacation during the currently-

8

scheduled CMC.

9

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, AGREED, AND REQUESTED by the

10

parties, through their respective counsel, that the Initial Case Management Conference currently

11

scheduled to take place on August 12, 2011 be continued until November 4, 2011 at 8:30 a.m.,

12

or on such a date and at such a time thereafter as is convenient for the Court.
