UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SACRAMENTO DIVISION

RONNIE E. BARRON,

 Plaintiff,

 v. 

M. MARTEL, et al.,

 Defendants.

Case No. 2:10-cv-01567-WBS-DAD

JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO CONTINUE FINAL PRETRIAL 

CONFERENCE, TRIAL DATE, AND SET 

EXPERT DEADLINES

Trial Date: August 11, 2015

Time: 9:00 a.m.

Courtroom: 5, 14th Floor

Judge: Honorable William B. Shubb

Pretrial Conference:June 8, 2015

Time: 2:00 p.m.

The parties, by and through their attorneys of record, seek to modify the Court’s January 28, 

2015 Order (Dkt. 74), to continue the pretrial conference and trial dates. Trial is currently scheduled 

to start on August 11, 2015, and the Pretrial Conference is scheduled for June 8, 2015.

On April 30, 2015, Plaintiff filed a motion to re-open discovery and to continue the final 

pretrial conference and trial date for 120 days to complete discovery and prepare for trial. Dkt 75. 

On May 1, 2015, the Court referred Plaintiff’s motion to re-open discovery to Magistrate Judge Dale 

A. Drozd and deferred ruling on Plaintiff’s request to continue the trial date pending the magistrate 

judge’s ruling on request for additional discovery. Dkt 76. Plaintiff’s motion is currently set for 

hearing before Magistrate Judge Drozd on June 1, 2015.

STIP. AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE FINAL PRETRIAL CONF., TRIAL, AND SET DEADLINES

CASE NO. 2:10-cv-01567-WBS-DAD

The parties have further met and conferred regarding the issues raised in Plaintiff’s motion 

and have stipulated to the issues on which this Court deferred ruling, including Plaintiff’s request to 

continue the trial dates and set a schedule for expert disclosure and discovery. The parties have not 

resolved Plaintiff’s request to re-open limited discovery, which remains before Magistrate Judge 

Drozd.

Good cause exists to continue the final pretrial conference and trial dates, and set an expert 

discovery schedule, because Plaintiffs’ motion to re-open discovery will not be heard until after the 

existing date for disclosing expert-witness information and filing pretrial reports. As set forth in the 

Declaration of Andrew Chang (Dkt 75-1), the premise of Plaintiff’s motion is that Plaintiff’s 

recently appointed counsel has been unable to obtain and review all relevant and material evidence 

to prepare for trial despite diligent efforts to do so informally. Plaintiff’s counsel is unable to 

complete those efforts before the June 8, 2015 pretrial conference and the August 11, 2015 trial. 

Good cause also exists because Plaintiff’s counsel requires additional time to review that evidence 

and identify, retain, and disclose necessary experts. The current schedule does not allow sufficient 

time for Plaintiff to confirm with Plaintiff’s non-CDCR health-care providers whether there has been 

complete collection of Plaintiff’s medical records much less complete expert discovery and prepare 

for trial.

Based on the forgoing, Plaintiff and Defendants stipulate and respectfully request the Court 

enter an Order as follows:

1. The parties stipulate and request that the Court continue the trial date, currently 

scheduled for August 11, 2015, to December 15, 2015 or thereafter, subject to the Court’s 

availability.

2. The parties further stipulate and request that the Court continue the Pre-Trial 

Conference, currently scheduled for June 8, 2015, to October 13, 2015 or thereafter, subject to the 

Court’s availability.

3. Additionally, the parties stipulate and request that the Court order that the parties’ 

expert disclosures pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2)(D)(i) be made on or before September 29, 

2015 and that expert discovery be completed on or before November 10, 2015.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
