developments in the case, primarily the issuance of proposed findings by the Office of 

Administrative Hearings pertaining to plaintiff's position as a paraeducator with the Davis Joint 

Unified School District, have placed the matter in a procedural posture that makes early 

mediation appropriate at this time. The parties are meeting and conferring regarding selection of 

a private mediator and/or participation in the Eastern District's VDRP program and contemplate 

mediating the matter by the middle of February 2008. 

4. The present deadline for the filing of a joint status report in this case is twenty 

dates following the court’s order on the pending motions. 

5. Counsel for the parties agree that since the scope of issues in this case will be 

determined in part by the Court’s rulings on the pending motions to dismiss, it would benefit the 

parties and the Court if submission of the joint status report were postponed until after 

determination of the pending motions. 

6. For the foregoing reasons, the parties stipulate to issuance of an order continuing 

to March 7, 2008 the hearing on defendants’ motions to dismiss. The parties further stipulate to 

issuance of an order extending the deadline to file a joint status report in this matter to 20 days 

following the Court’s order on the pending motions.
