Plaintiff GERARDO HERNANDEZ and defendants FINAL SCORE

2

SPORTS BAR, INC. and MAPLE LEAF INVESTMENTS, LLC by and through

3

their counsel of record, stipulate and jointly request that the Court grant limited

4

relief from General Order 56 for the sole purpose of allowing the parties to

5

subpoena the complete building records for the subject property at issue in this

6

disabled access case. The parties do so based on the following Good Cause:

7
8
9

1.

Whereas plaintiff filed his action on April 25, 2012, and both

defendants have been served and answered;
2.

Whereas all of the parties have been working cooperatively within the

10

parameters of General Order 56 to resolve plaintiff’s claims, including conducting a

11

joint site inspection on June 25, 2012;

12

3.

Whereas the parties agree that allowing discovery for the limited

13

purpose of subpoenaing the subject building’s complete construction, alteration, and

14

permit history would help facilitate the mediation process, and possible cooperative

15

settlement, under General Order 56;

16

4.

Whereas the parties have attempted to informally and cooperatively

17

obtain such records, but the San Jose Building Department has stated it requires a

18

subpoena before releasing copies of a complete set of its records;

19
20
21

5.

Whereas this is the first request by the parties to the Court for relief

from any of the requirements of General Order 56;
6.

Now, therefore, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the

22

parties, through their counsel, that this Court should grant limited relief from the

23

General Order 56 stay on discovery so that the parties may subpoena the complete

24

construction, alteration, and permit history of the subject premises.

25
26

IT IS SO STUIPULATED.
