ORDER RESCHEDULING

CONFERENCE AND EXTENDING CASE
SCHEDULE

The parties hereto, by and through their undersigned counsel, stipulate and agree as
follows:
1.

The parties are currently scheduled to appear for a settlement conference with

21

Magistrate Judge Maria Elena James on December 17, 2014. However, the claims

22

representative for the County of Santa Cruz has had an unresolvable conflict arise on that date,

23

in that he is required to appear at an all-day mediation in another large, multi-party case.

24

2.

The parties have met and conferred on this issue, and have agreed to request a

25

continuance of the settlement conference in this matter in light of the aforementioned conflict.

26

Judge James’ calendar clerk is holding the date of February 6, 2015 for the parties, pending

27

approval of this stipulation. This date is the first available date on Judge James’ calendar, and it

28

has been pre-cleared by the undersigned counsel as well as their respective clients and client

representatives.

3.

The parties also request that the current case schedule (Docket #50) be extended

3

by 60 days. The reason for the requested extension is to allow the parties to preserve resources

4

prior to the settlement conference, but still allow some time to conduct additional discovery to

5

prepare for dispositive motions and trial in the event the case does not settle. This is the parties’

6

second request for an extension of the case schedule. The new proposed schedule is set forth in

7

the order below.
