STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF AN ORDER RESCHEDULING CASE MANAGEMENT
DEADLINES; [PROPOSED] ORDER

1

Pursuant to Northern District Local Rules 7-12 and 6-2, counsel for defendants

2

City of Arcata and Humboldt County and counsel for plaintiff Hans K. Ashbaucher,

3

Johnie C. Miller and Kimberly L. Starr hereby submit this Stipulation and Proposed

4

Order to extend the fact discovery cut-off, and to extend the deadlines for expert reports,

5

expert rebuttal reports, the expert discovery cut-off, and dispositive motions.

6

This is the Parties’ third request to alter deadlines set forth in the Case

7

Management Order adopted by this Court on October 28, 2011. (Dkt. 186.) The first

8

request was granted by this Court on April 10, 2012, and related only to the discovery

9

cut-off dates. (Dkt. 196.) The second request was granted on May 18, 2012. (Dkt. 199.)

10

The Parties are engaged in settlement negotiations which are contingent upon the

11
12

adoption of revised ordinances and regulations by the City of Arcata.
The Parties have made progress since the last extension was granted by this Court,

13

and new ordinances have been enacted. The Parties are currently continuing

14

negotiations.

15

After meeting and conferring regarding settlement and discovery issues, the

16

Parties agreed that a limited extension of deadlines is appropriate to allow the Parties

17

time to agree upon final settlement terms and to finalize the settlement documents.

18

A limited extension of the deadlines will enable the Parties to resolve the case

19

efficiently, without the considerable cost of completing the discovery process; while

20

preventing prejudice to either party should settlement negotiations ultimately be

21

unsuccessful.

by the current deadline without production of outstanding discovery.
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the Parties, by and though
their respective counsel, that:
