STIPULATION 

On, August 5, 2024, the Court granted Defendant County of Shasta’s 

(“County”) Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff Aaron Bustamante’s (“Plaintiff”) First 

Amended Complaint (Dkt No. 26) (“Order”). 

Pursuant to the Court’s Order, Plaintiff was given leave to amend, and was 

ordered to file his Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”) within thirty days after the 

filing of the Order. Defendant County was given twenty-one (21) days from the 

filing of Plaintiff’s SAC to file a responsive pleading. 

On September 3, 2024, Plaintiff filed his SAC. Thus, the County’s 

responsive pleading is currently due on September 24, 2024. 

Counsel for Plaintiff and the County are currently meeting and conferring 

about whether the County will file a motion to dismiss the SAC, but need additional 

time to thoroughly discuss the substance of such a motion and any potential 

resolution. Plaintiff’s counsel is currently out of state which complicates the meet 

and confer process. 

Given the foregoing, the parties believe it is in the best interest to continue 

the deadline for the County to file its response to the SAC. A short one week 

extension, until October 1, 2024, will not prejudice any of the parties. 

Based on the foregoing, the parties STIPULATE as follows: 

The time for the County to file an answer to the Second Amended Complaint 

shall be extended to October 1, 2024. 

The Parties agree that this Stipulation may be e-signed to facilitate filing the 

document with the Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
