Case No. 4:17-CV-02277-KAW 

[Hon. Kandis A. Westmore] 

STIPULATION AND REQUEST TO 

CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE 

Jury Trial Requested 

Complaint Filed: 9/11/17 

Pursuant to Rules 6-1, 6-2, and 7-12 of the United States District Court for the Northern 

District of California, Plaintiff and Relator Matthew Zugsberger (“Plaintiff”), Defendants Galindo 

Construction Company, Inc., Lisa M. Galindo and Don Ron Galindo (“Galindo Defendants”) and 

Defendant T.L. Peterson (“Peterson”) (collectively, “the Parties”) hereby stipulate, agree, and 

request that the Case Management Conference currently set for April 3, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. be moved 

to May 1, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. or such subsequent time as the Court deems appropriate. The Parties

further stipulate and request that the case schedule set forth the Court’s Order Setting Initial Case 

Management Conference and ADR Deadlines (Docket No. 13) be modified as follows: 

1) Deadlines currently set for March 13, 2018 pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

26(f), ADR Local Rule 3-5, and Civil Local Rule 16-8 be moved to April 24, 2018; and 

2) Deadlines currently set for March 27, 2018 pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

26(a) and Civil Local Rule 16-9 be moved to April 24, 2018. 

There is good cause for this stipulation and request. The current Case Management 

Conference was set for April 3, 2018 based on Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint being filed on 

January 3, 2018. On March 9, 2018, following the Parties’ stipulation (Docket No. 30) and the 

Court’s Order upon that stipulation (Docket No. 32), Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint 

(Docket No. 33). The Second Amended Complaint contains 13 new claims and several new 

allegations that were not present in the First Amended Complaint. At present, none of the 

Defendants have responded to the Second Amended Complaint and Defendant TL Peterson has not 

yet appeared in this action. A brief continuance of the Case Management Conference and 

corresponding deadlines set forth above will allow Defendants sufficient time to evaluate and 

respond to the new claims and allegations, and will allow the Parties to more meaningfully comply 

with their obligations under Rule 26 and the applicable Local Rules. 

 There have been no previous modifications pursuant to stipulation in this case. There has 

been one previous modification to the Case Management Conference and Case Schedule pursuant to 

Court order. Specifically, the Court’s Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR 

Deadlines (Docket No. 13) modified the dates set forth in the original April 24, 2017 Order Setting 

Initial Case Management Conference and ADR Deadlines that corresponded to Plaintiff’s original 

complaint. 

 Other than the modifications set forth herein, granting this stipulation and request will have 

no significant impact on the schedule for this case as the case is not yet at issue and no trial date has 

been scheduled.
