The parties hereto, through their respective attorneys of record, hereby stipulate
28 and agree, should the Court find it appropriate and convenient, as follows:
1
On January 22, 2016, Plaintiffs filed their Complaint in the above captioned
2 action;
3
Pursuant to an agreed-upon extension of time, on April 7, 2016, Defendants
4 County of Alameda, Nancy E. O’Malley, John Paul Williams, and Eddie Bermudez (the
5 “County Defendants”) filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Complaint and, in the
6 alternative, Motion for a More Definite Statement; and on April 8, 2016, Defendant
7 Cubangbang filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Complaint and, in the alternative, a
8 Request to Stay the matter. Plaintiffs timely filed oppositions.
9
On May 20, 2016, the Court heard oral argument on Defendants’ motions, and
10 issued an order with various rulings, and granted Plaintiffs leave to file an amended
11 complaint no later than June 24, 2016.
12
Plaintiffs timely filed the First Amended Complaint, requiring Defendants’ to
13 respond by July 8, 2016. That date was continued by stipulation and order to July 25,
14 2016. Defendants timely filed motions to dismiss and for other relief, with a hearing set
15 for September 9, 2016.
16
The Initial Case Management Conference is scheduled for September 16, 2016,
17 with the joint case management statement due on September 9, 2016.
18
Counsel for Plaintiffs have requested, and Counsel for Defendants have agreed,
19 to a two-week continuance of all dates. The reason is that under the current schedule
20 Plaintiffs’ responses are due on August 8, 2016. John Burton, lead counsel for Plaintiff,
21 has a pre-paid vacation out of state for July 30 through August 10.
22
A pre-trial diversion Order was entered in the underlying criminal proceedings
23 related to this action, potentially impacting whether a brief stay may be appropriate in
24 this action, which is set to expire at some time between August 31 and September 29,
25 2016. Accordingly, the continued dates for hearing on the motions and the Initial Case
26 Management Conference will likely fall after the criminal case is terminated, mooting
27 any abstention issues.
