UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

MICHAEL RODRIGUEZ, 

 Plaintiff, 

v.

CITY OF ALAMEDA, et al., 

 Defendants. 

Case No. 3:14-cv-02075-TEH 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO 

CONTINUE JURY TRIAL ONE WEEK FROM 

JULY 12, 2016 TO JULY 14 or 18, 2016 

As ordered by the Court, the parties completed the mandatory settlement conference with 

Magistrate Judge Beeler last week on or about February 24, 2016. The case did not resolve and the 

parties are preparing cross motions for summary judgment which may resolve the false arrest claim and 

the Monell claim. Because of issues of fact, the force claim under state and federal law will certainly 

proceed to jury trial. The parties continue to cooperate on completing discovery including fact witnesses 

and experts. Plaintiff is going to dismiss his economic wage loss damages claims. Given the dismissal

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE TRIAL ONE WEEK 

Rodriguez v. City of Alameda, et al., USDC Northern Dist. Case No. 3:14-cv-02075-TEH 

of the wage loss economic damages claims and possibly the false arrest and Monell claims there may be 

a significantly reduced time for the jury trial which now scheduled for July 12, 2016. The parties estimate 

the trial may now be completed on or before July 19, 2016. 

In notifying defense witnesses including experts of the July trial date and jury trial schedule the 

defendants police practices expert, former Chief of Police Howard Jordan, has informed defense counsel 

he will be out of the country from July 13th until July 19th and the first day he would be available to 

testify would be Wednesday, July 20, 2016. Given the narrowing of the damages claims and possibly 

the false arrest and Monell claims it is probable the trial will be concluded before July 20, 2016. 

Based on these reasons, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between the parties, plaintiff Michael 

Rodriguez, represented by John E. Hill and defendants City of Alameda and Cameron Miele, represented 

by Gregory M. Fox that the following may become an Order of the Court, if the Court approves the good 

cause set forth above, that the first day of trial is continued to Tuesday, July 19 to allow time for trial 

testimony by defendants’ police practices expert. 

SO STIPULATED.
