REGINALD HOWARD,

CASE NO. 2:13-cv-01368-RFB-NJK
STIPULATION TO EXTEND CERTAIN
POST-TRIAL DEADLINES PENDING
POSSIBLE RESOLUTION OF
MATTER
S. FOSTER, et al.,
(Fifth Request)
16
Defendants.
17
Defendants, Sean Bloomfield, Aaron Dicus, and Gustavo Sanchez, by and through
18
counsel, Attorney General Aaron D. Ford, and Senior Deputy Attorney General Frank A.
19
Toddre II, of the State of Nevada, Office of the Attorney General, along with Plaintiff
20
Reginald Howard, by and through his attorneys, Margaret A. McLetchie and Alina M.
21
Shell, of the law firm McLetchie Law and hereby agree and stipulate to extend certain post-
22
trial deadlines.
23
First, the deadline for Plaintiff to submit a proposed order with underlying
24
documentation as to fees and costs pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1988. (ECF No. 156) shall be
25
extended from February 21, 2019 to Monday April 8, 2019.
26
Second, Defendants have filed a Motion for Reconsideration under Rule 59. (ECF No.
27
145). Plaintiff’s deadline to respond to that Motion shall be extended from February 18,
28
2019 to Monday April 8, 2019.

Third, Defendants have filed a Limited Objection to the Bill of Costs filed by Plaintiff
2
on September 20, 2018 (ECF No. 146). Plaintiff’s reply, if any, to any Objection shall be
3
extended from February 21, 2019 until Monday April 8, 2019.
4
This Stipulation is not sought for any improper purpose or other purpose of delay,
5
but in the interest of effectively representing both parties’ interests in this matter. The
6
parties are currently discussing settlement and wish to reduce the accumulation of
7
attorney’s fees.
8
The parties are cognizant of this Court’s admonishment that it will not continue
9
these post-judgment deadlines ad infinitum. The parties have exchanged the first drafts
10
of settlement agreements and are finalizing terms as to the stylings of resolution
11
documents.
12
Additionally, Mr. Howard was transferred to Ely State Prison for a brief amount of
13
time. During that time, Counsel for Mr. Howard was unable to discuss matters with Mr.
14
Howard in person. Mr. Howard has since been transferred back to High Desert State
15
Prison, and Counsel has been able to meet with him in person to discuss a final resolution
16
of this matter.
17
The parties appear to have resolved outstanding appellate matters relating to
18
Howard’s Appeal in Ninth Circuit Case No. 18-16969 and the possible cross-appeal. Lastly,
19
Counsel for Defendants will be out of jurisdiction from March 17 until March 22, 2019, and
20
will not have any access to e-mail or State files.

The parties further note that this stipulation includes an extension of all dates to a
2
similar forty-five (45) day enlargement rather than the typical thirty (30) day requests from
3
before. This is done in the hopes that this is indeed the final request for extensions and to
4
evidence to the Court the parties’ confidence in resolution without the necessity of
5
intervention.
