leave to file a Second Amended Complaint pursuant to Rule 15(a)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure:

1. Plaintiff filed his complaint on January 6th, 2015 in the Eastern District of California, 

Fresno Division.

2. On February 27th, 2015, Defendant, CERES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, filed a 

motion to dismiss.

3. On March 19th, 2015, Plaintiff filed his First Amended Complaint.

4. On April 4th, 2015, Defendant, CERES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, filed their 

second motion to dismiss.

5. On May 21st, 2015, Plaintiff, JACK MILLER, filed his opposition to Defendant’s 

motion to dismiss.

6. On May 28th, 2015, Defendant filed its reply to Plaintiff’s opposition to the motion to 

dismiss.

7. On October 28th, 2015 the court denied Defendant’s motion to dismiss.

8. During the whole time, that Plaintiff and Defendant, CERES UNIFIED SCHOOL 

DISTRICT, had being dealing with the motion to dismiss, Plaintiff had co-defendant, MICHAEL 

PHIPPS, served with process. However, an individual called on behalf of MICHAEL PHIPPS, and 

stated that MICHAEL PHIPPS had died, on, or around, March 22nd, 2015. The individual further 

stated that his wife, KIMBERLY PHIPPS currently owns, or is in charge of administering the real

KIMBERLY PHIPPS on August 11th, 2015 in Stanislaus County (attached as Exhibit A). Therefore, 

Plaintiff desired to seek leave to amend the complaint to add KIMBERLY PHIPPS. However, given 

the pending motion to dismiss, Plaintiff desired to wait until he had an order on such motion, so as 

Plaintiff could make all potential amendments at once.

9. On, or around, November 30th, 2015, Plaintiff asked Defendant, CERES UNIFIED 

SCHOOL DISTRICT, if they would stipulate to allow Plaintiff leave to amend the complaint.

leave to file a second Amended Complaint in this action, a true and correct copy of which is attached 

as Exhibit B hereto.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
