consider Defendants’ proposal to stay the instant action while the Parties explore the possibility of a 

global resolution of not only the instant action, but also the related Lo, et al. v. County of Siskiyou, et 

al., Case Number 2:21-cv-00999-KJM-DMC (the “Lo Matter”) which is also pending before the abovecaptioned court. 

3. On November 21, 2022, Plaintiffs’ counsel sent Defendants’ counsel a meet and confer 

letter expressing the need for additional information from Defendants to assist Plaintiffs in deciding 

whether to accept Defendants’ proposal of a stay in litigation. In their correspondence, Plaintiffs’ 

counsel informed Defendants’ counsel that Plaintiffs would be agreeable to another extension of 

Defendants’ time to file a responsive pleading to Plaintiffs’ Complaint in light of the continuing 

negotiations to determine whether Plaintiffs would be agreeable to stay on litigation to explore the 

possibility of a global resolution. 

4. On November 22, 2022, pursuant to Plaintiffs’ November 21, 2022 correspondence, the 

Parties mutually agreed to a third extension of time for Defendants to respond to Plaintiffs’ Complaint. 

The Parties agreed that Defendants would have until Monday, December 12, 2022, to file their 

response. 

5. Like the previous extension, this third extension is to allow the Parties to continue their 

good faith discussions towards Plaintiffs’ consideration of whether a stay of the instant action is 

agreeable so that the Parties can explore the possibility of a global resolution of the instant action and 

the Lo Matter.
