Defendants.
The Parties, by and through their undersigned counsel of record, and hereby agree
22 and jointly stipulate that the Joint Pretrial Order [ECF No. 171], currently due on Friday,
23 March 22, 2024, be extended to and including Friday, April 5, 2024.
24
Plaintiff is responsible for initiating and preparing the Joint Pretrial Order. Due to
25 the fact that Plaintiff is not signed up for electronic service, he did not immediately receive
26 notice of the Court’s summary judgment ruling. The parties have had communications and
27 Plaintiff recently (on January 18, 2024) provided a draft of the Joint Pretrial Order to
Page 1 of 4
MAC:14687-128 5422029_1 3/22/2024 1:07 PM
1 Defendants’ counsel. Counsel for Defendants has several competing deadlines and provided
2 comments and redline changes to the proposed Joint Pretrial Order on February 19, 2024 to
3 Plaintiff. The parties are continuing communications, including phone calls to reach a
4 resolution regarding the Joint Pretrial Order.
5
Furthermore, counsel for LVMPD and Officer Salazar was in a three-week trial in
6 the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County Nevada, before the honorable Judge Jacob
7 Reynolds from February 20, 204 to March 8, 2024 in the James M. Herndon v. City Of
8 Henderson, et al. matter (A-21-842739-C). This hindered the parties ability to effectively
9 communicate about the Joint Pretrial Order.
The parties are working diligently in
10 addressing the joint pre-trial order and continue to work in good faith with one another.

As such, the Parties respectfully request a 14-day extension of the deadline to submit
12 the Joint Pretrial Order. This request for extension is made in good faith and necessary to
13 provide additional time for preparation of the Joint Pretrial Order and not for the purposes of
14 delay.
