UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT 

INTERNATIONAL, a Delaware corporation, 

Plaintiff, 

 v. 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION, 

ROBERT SILLEN, individually and as 

Receiver, 

Defendants. 

 Case No. 2:07-CV-02199 WBS EFB 

STIPULATION FOR ORDER AND 

PROPOSED ORDER CONTINUING 

SCHEDULING CONFERENCE 

CURRENTLY SET FOR DECEMBER 3, 

2007 

The parties, by and through their respective counsel, stipulate pursuant to Civil L.R. 83-

143 and 6-144 for an Order continuing the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference, currently set 

for December 3, 2007 at 2:00 p.m., to January 21, 2008. The stipulation is based on the 

following facts. 

1. On October 16, 2007, Defendant Receiver Robert Sillen (“Receiver”) removed this action 

from the California Superior Court for Sacramento County to this Court pursuant to 28 

U.S.C. § 1442. 

2. The Receiver filed a motion to dismiss all claims in the complaint on October 17, 2007 

and set the hearing on that motion on November 26, 2007.

3. Defendant California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) obtained 

an extension of time to respond to the complaint, through and including November 15, 

2007. If CDCR files a motion to dismiss, that motion will not be heard until the latter 

part of December 2007 or the first part of January 2008 at the earliest. 

4. Pursuant to this Court’s Order Setting Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference, dated 

October 17, 2007 (“October 17 Scheduling Order”), the parties must meet and confer by 

no later than November 12, 2007 with respect to the items listed in the October 17 

Scheduling Order and submit a joint Scheduling Conference Statement by November 19, 

2007. However, as a result of the Receiver’s pending motion to dismiss and any motion 

to dismiss that may be filed by CDCR, at the time the parties are required to meet and 

confer and to submit the joint statement it will not be clear which, if either, of the 

defendants will be a party to the action going forward or what, if any, claims will remain 

in the case. 

5. It will be difficult for the parties to develop a meaningful discovery plan or to make 

appropriate initial disclosures unless and until the Court rules on which parties and which 

claims, if any, will remain in the case. In addition, the upcoming holiday season may 

make it difficult for the parties to meet and confer sufficiently and prepare a joint 

statement before the New Year. 

6. Based on the foregoing, the parties submit that continuing the Status (Pretrial 

Scheduling) Conference until after the initial pleading motion(s) has/have been heard and 

ruled upon will avoid unnecessary expenditure of the parties’ and the court’s time and 

resources in preparing for and attending the Conference currently set for December 3, 

2007. 

7. Accordingly, the parties stipulate for an Order continuing the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) 

Conference to January 21, 2008 or as soon thereafter as the Court may deem appropriate. 

If the case proceeds in this Court, any parties remaining in the case shall meet and confer 

with respect to the matters in the Court’s Order 17 Scheduling Order and shall submit a 

joint statement by January 7, 2007.
