Stip. & [Proposed] Order Modify Defs.’ Deadline Resp. 2d Am. Compl. (2:08-CV-01196 JAM EFB)

Plaintiff and Defendants submit this stipulation under Local Rule 144.

On April 27, 2011, Plaintiff Robert Mitchell filed a motion seeking leave to file a secondamended complaint. The proposed second-amended complaint would add new defendants and 

dismiss other defendants. On September 22, 2011, the Magistrate Judge granted Mitchell’s 

motion and ordered Defendants to respond to the second-amended complaint within 30 days. 

Accordingly, Defendants’ deadline to respond to the second-amended complaint is October 24, 

2011. On October 7, 2011, Defendants requested reconsideration of the Magistrate Judge’s ruling 

under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(a) and Local Rule 303. Since the Magistrate Judge 

issued his ruling, the new Defendants named in the second-amended complaint have been served.

Under Local Rule 303, a Magistrate Judge’s ruling becomes final after fourteen days if no 

reconsideration of the ruling is requested. Here, the Magistrate Judge’s ruling did not become 

final because Defendants made a timely request for reconsideration. And if the Court has not 

ruled on Defendants’ request for reconsideration by October 24, 2011, it will be unclear which 

Defendants, if any, are obligated to respond to the second-amended complaint on that date. 

Accordingly, the parties agree that the deadline for Defendants to respond to the second-amended 

complaint should be modified.

Stip. & [Proposed] Order Modify Defs.’ Deadline Resp. 2d Am. Compl. (2:08-CV-01196 JAM EFB)

Plaintiff and Defendants have not previously requested any extensions of time for 

Defendants to respond to the second-amended complaint. The parties respectfully request that the 

Court modify Defendants’ deadline to respond to the second-amended complaint as follows: If 

the Court denies Defendants’ request for reconsideration, Defendants’ response to Plaintiff’s 

second-amended complaint must be filed by October 24, 2011, or within five days after the Court 

rules on Defendants’ request for reconsideration, whichever date is later. And the parties further 

agree that this proposed deadline, if ordered by the Court, will apply to all Defendants named in 

the second-amended complaint.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
