Cohn-Stiles, and Dale K. Galipo of the Law Offices of Dale K. Galipo. 

Defendants, County of Kern (hereinafter “County”) and Deputy Robert Reed 

(hereinafter “Reed”), (hereinafter collectively “Defendants”) are represented by Andrew C. 

Thomson and Kathleen Rivera, Office of Kern County Counsel. 

Plaintiffs and Defendants are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties.” 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED TO, by and between the Parties, through 

their respective counsel of record, that an Order be entered modifying the Scheduling Order to 

extend the dates for filing of Dispositive Motions, including Motions for Summary Judgment 

and/or Motions for Summary Adjudication, by four (4) weeks/twenty-eight (28) days, as 

follows: 

a) Extend the date to provide Undisputed Material Facts to opposing counsel to August 

12, 2016 from July 15, 2016; 

b) Extend the date to meet and confer with opposing Counsel to August 17, 2016 from 

July 20, 2016; 

c) Extend the last date for filing of a Dispositive Motion to September 6, 2016 from 

August 10, 2016; 

d) Extend the last date for hearing (oral argument) of a Dispositive Motion to October 

4, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 6, from September 7, 2016; and 

e) Extend Opposition and Reply dates to dates consistent with the extended hearing 

date. 

1. Whereas, the Parties have repeatedly met and conferred regarding discovery and 

expert witness discovery issues in an effort to informally resolve discovery and expert issues, 

including deposition scheduling and designation concerns; 

2. Whereas the Parties entered into Stipulations regarding discovery and expert 

witness discovery issues; 

3. Whereas the Court entered Orders amending the Scheduling Conference Order 

regarding discovery and expert witness discovery issues; 

4. Whereas Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (hereinafter “FRCP”) Rule 26 Expert 

Disclosure will occur on July 15, 2016; 

5. Whereas FRCP Rule 26 Supplemental Expert Disclosure will occur on July 22,

6. Whereas FRCP Rule 26 Expert Discovery will close on will close on August 19, 

2016; 

7. Whereas one or more of the Parties contemplate the filing of a dispositive 

motion; 

8. Whereas good cause exists since the Parties anticipate the need to review and 

analyze expert witness reports and deposition transcripts prior to meeting and conferring, 

filing, opposing and/or replying to a dispositive motion; 

9. Whereas the Parties have met and conferred on at least three occasions 

regarding this issue and concur that the four (4) week extension of the dispositive motion dates, 

including the meet and confer, filing, opposition, reply and hearing dates, is the most 

reasonable means to resolve the issue without the need to extend the trial date; 

10. Therefore, in order to ensure that the Parties have all expert materials, including 

deposition transcripts, available for review and analysis prior to engaging in the dispositive 

motion process, the Parties request the following extensions: 

a) Extend the date to provide Undisputed Material Facts to opposing counsel to August 

12, 2016 from July 15, 2016; 

b) Extend the date to meet and confer with opposing Counsel to August 17, 2016 from 

July 20, 2016; 

c) Extend the last date for filing of a Dispositive Motion to September 6, 2016 from 

August 10, 2016; 

d) Extend the last date for hearing (oral argument) of a Dispositive Motion to October 

4, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 6, from September 7, 2016; and 

e) Extend Opposition and Reply dates to dates consistent with the extended hearing 

date. 

11. The Parties respectfully request the Court’s consideration of this request. 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT: 

The Scheduling Order shall be amended to provide for the following deadlines 

extensions of four (4) weeks: 

a) Extend the date to provide Undisputed Material Facts to opposing counsel to 

August 12, 2016 from July 15, 2016;
