STIPULATION RE CHANGING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE AND JOINT STATUS REPORT DATES (2:14-CV-01856-GEBAC)

Plaintiff Safari Club International (“Safari Club”) and Defendants Attorney General 

Kamala D. Harris and Director Charlton H. Bonham (“Defendants,” and collectively with Safari 

Club, the “Parties”), by and through their respective counsel, jointly submit for approval this 

stipulation regarding the rescheduling of the pretrial scheduling conference (currently set for 

April 20, 2015) and joint status report (currently due April 4, 2015). In support, the Parties state 

the following:

WHEREAS, on August 6, 2014, Safari Club filed its Complaint for Declaratory and

Injunctive Relief. 

WHEREAS on October 6, 2014, Defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss Safari Club’s

Complaint, originally noticed for hearing on November 17, 2014;

WHEREAS by stipulation of the parties and Orders of this Court, the hearing date was 

ultimately rescheduled for April 20, 2015;

WHEREAS by an Order dated October 17, 2014 (Dkt. 17), the Court scheduled a pretrial 

scheduling conference for April 20, 2015, approximately 10 weeks after the then-current date for 

the hearing on the motion to dismiss (February 2), and ordered the parties to file a joint status 

report 14 days prior to the scheduling conference.

WHEREAS, due to the pending motion to dismiss Safari Club’s complaint, the Parties 

believe that the preparation of a joint status report by April 6, 2015, and holding of a pretrial 

scheduling conference on April 20, 2015, are premature and, in the interests of efficiency and 

conservation of judicial and party resources, should be postponed until after the Court has 

resolved the motion to dismiss.

STIPULATION RE CHANGING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE AND JOINT STATUS REPORT DATES (2:14-CV-01856-GEBAC)

WHEREAS, the Court previously set the pretrial scheduling conference for 

approximately 10 weeks after the hearing on the motion to dismiss, the Parties suggest a new 

pretrial scheduling conference be scheduled for June 29, 2015, and the joint status report be due 

14 days prior to this date; 

THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Parties respectfully request approval 

of this stipulation to grant the following relief:

The preparation of the joint status report be rescheduled to June 15, 2015, and the April 

20, 2015 pretrial scheduling conference be rescheduled to June 29, 2015, or the earliest date 

thereafter that is convenient for the Court.

Dated this 27th day of March, 2015.

Respectfully submitted,
