for the FRCP Rule 26(f) Report, to complete the initial disclosures and file a Case Management Statement; and, November 3, for the Initial Case Management Conference. 4. Arising from the incident which is the basis for this civil action, Plaintiff was charged with felony offenses against two San Mateo Police Officers for assault with a deadly weapon under California Penal Code section 245 in the San Mateo County Superior Court, in action titled People v. Joseph Alejandro Ortega, No. SC071032. The trial in this criminal case is currently set for November 1. 5. Counsel for the parties have discussed this case and would like to postpone all dates set by the Court on July 23 until the conclusion of the criminal case. Both counsel believe that the outcome of the criminal case will have a significant bearing on how this civil action proceeds, liability, discovery, ADR, and other pertinent aspects of pretrial proceedings and preparation for trial. Both counsel believe that it is premature to address the matters required by this Court's July 23 Order until the criminal case is resolved, and also believe that discovery should proceed pursuant to the criminal statutes instead of this civil action in order to avoid conflicts. 6. Therefore, it is requested that the Court stay the setting of Case Schedule dates and deadlines until the conclusion of the criminal action. Plaintiff's counsel will immediately notify the Court and defense counsel when the criminal case finally concludes.
