STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR LEAVE TO AMEND 

STIPULATION 

Plaintiffs Paskenta Bank of Nomlaki Indians and Paskenta Enterprises Corporation 

(“Plaintiffs”), Defendants Ines Crosby, et. al. (collectively, “Defendants”) enter into this Stipulation 

through their respective counsel, with respect to the following facts: 

RECITALS 

1. On August 14, 2015 the Court granted in part and denied in part Umpqua’s motion to 

dismiss the First Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Complaint on 

September 25, 2015, and Defendants have until November 2, 2015 to file their response to the SAC; 

2. Plaintiffs noticed the deposition of three witnesses of Umpqua Bank and Umpqua 

Holdings Corporation (“Umpqua”) to take place prior to the September 25, 2015 deadline for 

Plaintiffs to file their Second Amended Complaint; 

3. Two of the three depositions took place on September 9, 2015. However, because the 

third witness is currently out on medical leave and will remain on medical leave until at least the 

beginning of October, Umpqua is presently unable to make the third witnesses available; 

4. Counsel for the parties have tentatively scheduled the third witness’s deposition for 

October 8th or 9th, 2015—shortly after the third witness is scheduled to return from medical leave. 

Assuming the third witness returns from leave as scheduled and is medically cleared to proceed with 

the deposition, the parties plan to proceed with the witness’s deposition on October 8th or 9th, 2015. 

Further, Plaintiffs shall have until October 16, 2015 to file a Third Amended Complaint and on that 

date will provide a redline identifying all changes between the Second Amended Complaint and the 

Third Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs agree that any Third Amended Complaint: (1) will not add or 

amend allegations relating to any of the Defendants other than Umpqua, except to the extent that 

such new or amended allegations relating to Umpqua involve other Defendants; (2) will maintain the 

same paragraph numbering as the Second Amended Complaint; and that (3) Defendants shall have 

21 days to respond. 

5. In the event the witness does not return from leave as scheduled or is not medically 

cleared to proceed on October 8th or 9th, the Parties have agreed to work together to schedule the 

witness’s deposition as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable. The parties will also work

STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR LEAVE TO AMEND 

together on a subsequent stipulation that will propose modifying the current scheduling deadlines to 

ensure that: (1) Plaintiffs have one week after taking the witness’s deposition to file a Third 

Amended Complaint; and (2) Defendants’ deadline to respond to the operative complaint is extended 

sufficiently to ensure that Defendants are not required to respond to the Second Amended Complaint 

unless Plaintiffs have made the decision to forgo filing a Third Amended Complaint. Plaintiffs shall 

notify Defendants of whether or not they intend to file a Third Amended Complaint no less than two 

weeks prior to the deadline for responding to the Second Amended Complaint. 

IT IS THEREFORE STIPULATED AND AGREED by the Parties, through the 

undersigned, subject to Court approval that: 

1. In the event the deposition of the third witness proceeds on October 8th or 9th, 2015, 

Plaintiffs may file a Third Amended Complaint on or before October 16, 2015 and on that date will 

provide a redline identifying all changes between the Second Amended Complaint and the Third 

Amended Complaint. Any Third Amended Complaint: (1) will not add or amend allegations 

relating to any of the Defendants other than the Umpqua, except to the extent that such new or 

amended allegations relating to Umpqua involve other Defendants; (2) will maintain the same 

paragraph numbering as the Second Amended Complaint; and that (3) Defendants shall have 21 days 

to respond any Third Amended Complaint. 

2. In the event the deposition of the third witness does not proceed on October 8th or 

9th, 2015, the Parties will work together to prepare and submit a stipulation and proposed order that 

will propose modifying the scheduling deadlines in a manner consistent with Paragraph 5 above. 

The stipulation and proposed order (or a joint report explaining why no stipulation could be reached) 

shall be submitted no later than October 16, 2015.
