 Second Stipulation and Order for Extension of Time (2:02-cv-2299 GEB 

KJM P) 

 I, JEFFREY STEELE, declare: 

 1. I am an attorney licensed to practice before all courts of the State of California and 

before this Court. I am a Deputy Attorney General employed by the Office of Attorney General, 

and I represent Defendants in this case. 

 2. This case was previously assigned to John W. Riches is currently hospitalized with 

a serious medical condition. In light of this, it has been reassigned to me. However, I also took 

on the full caseload of another deputy, Samantha Ramsey, in early December 2009, after Ms. 

Ramsey was reassigned to the class action matter, Coleman v. Schwarzenegger. Several of Ms. 

Ramsey’s cases required immediate attention. As a result, I still have not had time to review the 

file in this matter. Such review is essential, in part because Plaintiff’s motions concern the 

admissibility of testimony from Defendant’s expert witness. A review of the entire file is 

necessary to determine whether and why this expert’s testimony is necessary; therefore, I cannot 

know whether or how to oppose this motion until that review is done. 

 3. Trial has now been continued to April 13, 2010. Thus, there is no immediate need 

to decide the motions in limine. 

 4. This is Defendants’ second request for an extension of time to file motion in 

limine objections and to respond to the Court’s order. 

5. On January 15, 2010, I spoke with Joanna Mendoza, counsel to Plaintiff, and she 

agreed to stipulate to the requested extension. 

I declare under penalty of perjury that this declaration is true and correct. Executed this 

15th day of January, 2010, at Sacramento, California.
