TO THE CLERK OF THE COURT, ALL PARTIES, AND THEIR ATTORNEYS

OF RECORD:

In its Scheduling Order dated March 22, 2016 (Docket No. 8), the Court set various 

deadlines, including: expert disclosure (September 13, 2016); rebuttal expert disclosure (October 

4, 2016); and discovery cutoff (January 10, 2017). 

Plaintiff JOANNE BLIGHT and Defendants CITY OF MANTECA, ARMANDO 

GARCIA, RANCH JOHNSON, KIRK DOTY, MIKE KEENER, IAN OSBORN, ARMEN 

AVAKIAN, PAUL CARMONA and CHRIS S. MRAZ (“Defendants”) have met-and-conferred 

on these dates and -- despite due diligence by all sides -- believe additional time will be needed 

for expert and rebuttal disclosures. Discovery is still being conducted that will bear upon expert 

opinions and reports. Depositions of all Defendants were noticed at the outset of discovery, but 

due to a pending discovery issue that will require resolution by the Court via a motion – as well as 

the parties’ desire to accommodate the schedules of the police officer defendants to the extent 

possible and other circumstances outside the control of the parties – these depositions had to be 

postponed. The depositions that can proceed have been going forward, however. An additional 

challenge has been reconciling the numerous schedules of attorneys on both sides of this case, 

including their busy trial calendars. Nonetheless, the parties have diligently met-and-conferred to 

move the discovery process forward and have been conducting the necessary depositions and 

other discovery, with more on calendar. Based on the foregoing circumstances, the parties 

respectfully stipulate to the following, and request the Court’s approval. 

By and through the counsel of record for Defendants and Plaintiff, the parties stipulate as 

follows:

1. The deadline for expert disclosure is extended to November 8, 2016;

2. The deadline for rebuttal expert disclosure is extended to November 29, 2016; 

3. The deadline for all discovery remains unchanged; it closes on January 10, 2017.
