The parties in this case, through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate, and request this 

Court to order, that the hearing on both Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 50), and 

Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 56) scheduled on February 9, 2015 at 2:00 

p.m., begin instead at 3:00 p.m. This joint request is based on the following:

1. Plaintiff originally noticed his Motion for Summary Judgment to be heard by this Court on 

January 12, 2015. Plaintiff asserts that Plaintiff’s co-lead counsel, Michael Haddad and Julia 

Sherwin, chose this date because they knew that scheduling Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary 

Judgment to be heard later than January 12, 2015 would conflict with the trial schedule in 

M.H., et al. v. County of Alameda, et al., No. C11-2868 JST (MEJ) (N.D. Cal.)—a wrongful 

death trial involving sixteen defendants scheduled to begin on February 2, 2015 and estimated 

to last eight weeks, or until about March 26, 2015. Plaintiff also asserts that the trial schedule 

is from Monday to Thursday, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with Fridays off.

2. Defendants then filed their Motion for Summary Judgment on December 29, 2014 (Docs. 56, 

56-1). Defendants noticed their Motion for Summary Judgment to be heard on February 9, 

2015. 

3. On December 29, 2014, this Court continued the hearing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary 

Judgment from January 12, 2015 to February 9, 2015 so that Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary 

Judgment could be heard together with Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 59). 

The Court subsequently continued the hearing to February 23, 2015 (Doc. 61).

4. Because Plaintiff’s co-lead counsel will be in trial in San Francisco until 1:30 p.m. on 

February 23, 2015, Plaintiff requests that this Court begin the hearing on Plaintiff’s and 

Defendants’ Motions for Summary Judgment at 3:00 p.m., instead of at 2:00 p.m., to allow 

Plaintiff’s co-lead counsel to drive from San Francisco to Sacramento.

5. Defendants’ attorneys have no personal knowledge of the facts in ¶¶ 1 and 4, and do not 

certify their accuracy. Defendants agree to Plaintiff’s requested scheduling change provided 

that: (1) the Court finds good cause and its schedule can accommodate the time change; and

ORDER

Pursuant to stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing, this Court orders both that

hearing will proceed at 3:00 p.m. on February 23, 2015 whether or not both co-lead counsel for 

Plaintiff are present. IT IS SO ORDERED.
