UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

The parties to this action, through their attorneys, hereby stipulate and request that the Court 

enter an order further extending the time for defendants to file their response to the Complaint for 

Violation of Civil Rights, Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (“Complaint,” ECF No. 1) from July 16, 

2021, to August 2, 2021. The parties jointly state the following facts in support of this stipulation:

1. On June 7, 2021, pursuant to a stipulation of the parties (ECF No. 7), the Court 

entered its Order Granting Stipulation and Proposed Order to Extend Time for Defendants to File 

Response to Complaint and for Continuance of Initial Scheduling Conference (“Order,” ECF No. 8). 

The Order established July 16, 2021, as the deadline for defendants to file their response to the 

Complaint and continued the Initial Scheduling Conference to August 25, 2021, at 10 a.m. in 

Courtroom 10.

DOMINIQUE CLIFTON,

2. Since the Court entered its Order, counsel for the parties have met and conferred and 

have exchanged information regarding the merits of the action and, in particular, whether under

existing Ninth Circuit precedent the Complaint is subject to dismissal under Rule 12 of the Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure.

3. The parties continue to meet and confer regarding these issues and request this 

continuance in order to allow time to exhaust these efforts and perhaps avoid unnecessary motion 

practice before the Court.

4. The parties submit that the requested extension will not necessitate further 

continuance of the Initial Scheduling Conference.

5. Due to inadvertently omitting the exhibit attachments in his original filing, Plaintiff 

will be re-filing his Complaint to include Exhibits A and B. There are no changes to the Complaint 

itself. The undersigned counsel agrees to accept service for all Defendants.

Respectfully submitted,
