STIPULATION AND ORDER TO
EXTEND THE DEADLINE TO FILE
JOINT PRETRIAL ORDER

Defendants.
Plaintiffs Brian Ballentine, Catalino Dazo, and Kelly Patterson (“Plaintiffs”), by
and through their counsel Margaret A. McLetchie, Esq. and Defendant Detective Christopher
Tucker, by and through his counsel Craig R. Anderson, Esq., hereby stipulate and agree to
extend the current deadline to file a Joint Pretrial Order of May 20, 2022 by twenty-one (21)
days, up to and including June 10, 2022.
In an April 21, 2022 Order on Mandate (ECF No. 258), this Court set the deadline
to submit a Proposed Joint Pretrial Order by May 20, 2022. The parties agree that the
requested extension of this deadline is necessary because the caseloads and other
1

Case 2:14-cv-01584-APG-EJY Document 260 Filed 05/19/22 Page 2 of 2

1

responsibilities of counsel for both parties have not allowed them sufficient time to prepare

2

the Joint Pretrial Order by the current deadline.

3

It is notable that a trial date has not yet been set in this matter, and as such, the trial

4

will not need to be postponed due to the requested extension. This is the first request for an

5

extension of this deadline since this case was remanded to this Court from the Ninth Circuit

6

Court of Appeals. This extension is being sought in good faith and not for the purpose of

7

delay.
