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. 28 -2- 1 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, subject to court approval, by 2 and between the undersigned counsel on behalf of the parties that: 3 1. Plaintiffs file and serve their oppositions to Defendants’ pending motions 4 to dismiss and for other relief no later than August 22, 2016, and Defendants file and 5 serve their replies by August 29, 2016. 6 2.
