CASE NO. CIV F-04-5591 AWI DLB P

STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME

FOR FILING PRETRIAL

DISPOSITIVE MOTIONS

Judge: Hon. Dennis L. Beck

On January 3, 2005, this Court issued the first Discovery Order and Scheduling Order

in this case and on June 9, 2005 extended the Parties’ time for completing discovery and filing

pretrial dispositive motions to October 5, 2005. The parties have completed discovery. The

parties have reached agreement that good cause exists for a revised pretrial schedule for the

following reasons.

This action involves unique issues, which may be of first impression, of the application

of the First Amendment Establishment Clause to an ostensibly non-mandatory in-prison religious

program and of the coverage of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act. 

Defendants require an additional nine days, to and including October 14, 2005, to complete a

motion for summary judgment in this action.

Plaintiff appears pro se. Responding to a dispositive motion raising unique issues will

require a minimum of forty-five days from service of Defendants’ motion for summary judgment. 

In addition, any dispositive motion Plaintiff files will involve analysis of California state budget

data supplied in discovery, and may involve gathering more such data from public sources.

Therefore, the parties, Plaintiff Richard Barker proceeding pro se and Defendants 

Ward, Bonilla, Lewis, Alameida, Woodford and Yates, represented by John E. Rittmayer, Deputy

Attorney General, stipulate to the following revisions to the scheduling order:

1. Defendants’ pretrial dispositive motions must be filed and served on or before

October 14, 2005.

2. Plaintiff’s opposition to Defendants’ pretrial dispositive motions, and any crossmotion for summary judgment, shall be filed and served on or before November 28, 2005.

3. Defendants’ reply to Plaintiff’s opposition to Defendants’ pretrial dispositive

motions, if any, shall be served and filed on or before December 8, 2005. Defendants’

Opposition to Plaintiff’s cross-motion for summary judgment, if any, shall be filed and served on

or before December 29, 2005.
