and Gerardo Adrian Lopez1and Plaintiffs Planned Parenthood Federation Of America, Inc.; 

Plaintiff Planned Parenthood: Shasta-Diablo, Inc. dba Planned Parenthood Northern California; 

Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, Inc.; Planned Parenthood Of The Pacific Southwest; Planned 

Parenthood Los Angeles; Planned Parenthood/Orange And San Bernardino Counties, Inc.; Planned 

Parenthood Of Santa Barbara, Ventura And San Luis Obispo Counties, Inc.; Planned Parenthood 

Pasadena And San Gabriel Valley, Inc. (collectively “PP Plaintiffs”) file this stipulation for relief 

from the Case Management Order entered on January 26, 2016 (Doc. 12) and request that the case 

management conference (“CMC”) be set again for March 29, 2016, or as soon thereafter as meets 

this Court’s schedule.

Defendants and PP Plaintiffs state in support thereof as follows:

WHEREAS, PP Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit on January 14, 2016 (Doc. 1). The complaint 

names the following Defendants: Center for Medical Progress, BioMax Procurement Services, 

LLC, David Daleiden, Troy Newman, Albin Rhomberg, Phillip S. Cronin, Sandra Susan Merritt, 

and Gerardo Adrian Lopez;

WHEREAS, on January 22, 2016, the Court found that this case was related with another 

case pending before it, namely National Abortion Federation v. Center for Medical Progress, 15-

cv-03522-WHO (the “NAF case”) (NAF case, Doc. 339);

WHEREAS, on January 26, 2016, this Court issued a CMC Order scheduling a CMC for 

February 16, 2016, at 2:00 p.m. (Doc. 12);

WHEREAS, lead counsel for Plaintiffs has a pre-scheduled international trip from February 

8 to February 19 and therefore asked certain defense counsel to stipulate to move the date of the 

CMC to the following week in February;

 

1

The remaining named Defendants are not in a position to join this stipulation as waiver of service 

of process has not yet been effected on them and/or they have not yet retained counsel or local 

counsel as explained infra, but the term Defendants will be used collectively in this stipulation 

since any change in the CMC will impact them.

JOINT STIPULATION FOR RELIEF FROM CMC

– 16-cv-00236 (WHO)

WHEREAS, those counsel agreed and indicated that they wished for a further extension 

beyond February 23, to allow sufficient time for all defendants to secure representation and prepare 

a joint case management statement in order to participate meaningfully in a CMC that best respects 

the Court’s time and resources;

WHEREAS, the Court’s calendar indicates that the Court is unavailable on March 15 and 

lead counsel for Ms. Merritt has a conflict on March 22, 2016;

WHEREAS, Defendants and Plaintiffs have therefore agreed that the CMC should be held 

on March 29, 2016, or as soon thereafter as the Court’s schedule shall permit,;

WHEREAS, it is more than ten days before the CMC date, and this stipulation to 

reschedule the CMC is timely filed pursuant to this Court’s CMC order (Doc. 12, ¶ 1.d.);

WHEREAS, there is good cause for rescheduling the case management conference date;

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AND STIPULATED by and between PP Plaintiffs

and Defendants, subject to the Court’s approval, that the CMC shall be rescheduled to March 29, 

2016, or as soon thereafter as the Court’s schedule shall permit, and that the Court will issue a new 

case management order with compliance dates based on the date of the new case management 

conference.
