AMENDED COMPLAINT

25
26

On its face, the three individual Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint alleges

27

twenty-seven causes of action against Defendant County of Santa Clara and four individual

28

defendants. On April 29, 2011, pursuant to the parties’ Stipulation, the Court ordered that

10-CV-04668 JF

1

Defendants would have to and including May 28, 2011 by which to respond to Plaintiffs’

2

Second Amended Complaint.

3

The parties are engaged in good faith discussions regarding Defendants’ contention that

4

certain defendants and/or causes of action in the Second Amended Complaint are not viable. To

5

avoid extensive motion practice and in the interests of justice, Plaintiffs are agreeable to

6

drafting a proposed Third Amended Complaint to modify the pleadings and eliminate certain

7

claims and/or defendants from certain causes of action, following further discussions with

8

Defendants. Defendants are agreeable to considering that proposed Third Amended Complaint

9

and filing responses to that pleading.

10
11

To ensure that this case continues to move forward, the parties, through their respective
counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree to the following Order:

12

1.

Plaintiffs and Defendants shall agree upon the form and content of a proposed Third

13

Amended Complaint, and Plaintiffs shall file said pleading by June 10, 2011 (the date of the

14

next case management conference) or, alternatively, plaintiffs may file a Third Amended

15

Complaint in the form Plaintiffs determine by June 10, 2011.

1

2.

Defendants shall not be required to respond to Plaintiffs’ Second Amended

2

Complaint, as the parties anticipate that it will soon be superseded by a Third Amended

3

Complaint. The Third Amended Complaint shall be deemed to have been served on the County

4

of Santa Clara and the four current individually-named defendants upon Plaintiffs’ filing of that

5

Third Amended Complaint. Defendants shall file responsive pleadings to the Third Amended

6

Complaint within 45 days from the filing of that Third Amended Complaint.

I hereby attest that I have on file all holograph signatures for any signatures indicated by a
