NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

(SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION)

MONIQUE MILES, et al.,

Plaintiff,

v.

CITY OF OAKLAND, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-01799-MMC

PLAINTIFFS’ STATUS CONFERENCE 

STATEMENT RE PARTIAL COMPLIANCE 

WITH COURT’S MAY 2, 2016 ORDER 

APPROVING MINORS COMPROMISE; 

AND REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE

Date: June 24, 2016

Time: 10:30 am.

Place: Courtroom 7, 19th Floor

On May 2, 2016, the Court conditionally approved plaintiffs’ proposed minors 

compromise, conditional upon plaintiffs’ counsel certifying and documenting to the Court by 

June 17, 2016 that the settlement sums paid to the four minor children have been deposited in 

accordance with the Court’s Order (Doc. #69), else a status conference would be held on June 

24, 2016.

For the following reasons, plaintiffs request a four week continuance of the deadline for 

compliance and the status conference:

Plaintiffs’ counsel received settlement checks from both defendants just under two weeks 

ago, on June 7, 2016. It then took several more days for counsel to draft checks to plaintiffs.

At present, plaintiffs have succeeded in opening and funding IRS 529 college savings 

accounts on behalf of the three youngest minor plaintiffs: Ajani Brown (age 11), Jordan Brown 

(age7), and Jayden Brown (age 5). (The transactions were completed on June 17, 2016;

complete documentary proof is still pending.) However, plaintiffs are still in the process of 

trying to establish and fund a blocked account for the fourth and only other minor plaintiff, 

Romelle Brown (age 17), two banks having informed his mother and guardian, Plaintiff Monique 

Miles, on June 18, 2016, that they need to review the request at a higher level.

Plaintiffs’ undersigned counsel apologizes for this belated filing (on Sunday, June 19 

rather than Friday, June 17), but it was hoped that by waiting (until June 18), counsel could have 

certified that all transactions were completed. Instead, as explained above, Ms. Miles learned on 

June 18 that the two banks she visited on behalf of Romelle Brown needed time to review the 

request.

Wherefore, plaintiffs’ request that the Court continue the status conference for four 

weeks (continuing the deadline for plaintiffs’ certification of compliance until one week before 

that).

Respectfully Submitted,

/s/ - Ben Rosenfeld
