Re:

Culbreth v. Orange County, et al.
Case No.: 7:24-cv-00075-KMK(VR)
Request for Adjournment of Pre-Motion Letter Deadline, Case Mgmt. Conf.

Dear Judge Karas:
This office represents defendants County of Orange, Officer Joseph Cappelli, and Officer
Daniel Cappelli ("County Defendants") in the above matter.
County Defendants write to request an adjournment of the pre-motion letter deadline and
coITesponding Case Management Conference. No prior request for an adjournment of either
deadline has been made. This request is made in light of the significant delay in Plaintiff's
responses to County Defendants' discovery demands and interrogatories.
Pursuant to the Case Management Plan, County Defendants served County Defendants '
First Demand for Documents to Plaintiff and County Defendants ' First Set of Interrogatories to
Plaintiff on June 28, 2024. Plaintiff failed to respond. After multiple Status Conferences, letters
and phone calls on the subject, County Defendants sought leave for and ultimately filed a motion
for sanctions against Plaintiff under F.R.C.P. 37. Only after that motion was filed, did County
Defendants receive responses from Plaintiff, on or about November l, 2024. The motion was just

denied as moot by Magistrate Judge Reznik on November 15, 2024, and County Defendants seek
to take Plaintiff's deposition before the end date set for discovery of December 31 , 2024.
In light of this significant delay occasioned by Plaintiff, County Defendants respectfully
request an extension of time in which to wTite and file their pre-motion letter, from December 15,
2024, to February 14, 2025 , and an adjournment of the corresponding Case Management
Conference, which is presently scheduled for January 15, 2024, to a date and time convenient for
the Court. In that regard, I note that I plan to be away and will be unavailable from March 26,
2025, through April 1, 2025.
