IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

CHAKONG THAO, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

J. LYNCH and A. SWARTHOUT, 

Defendants. 

2:21-cv-00731-KJM-AC 

STIPULATED REQUEST TO 

CONTINUE STATUS CONFERENCE 

Judge: Hon. Kimberly J. Mueller 

 

Action Filed: April 23, 2021 

Counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants hereby stipulate to a continuance of the joint status 

conference currently scheduled for November 18, 2021. Because the motion to dismiss filed by 

Defendants (ECF No. 8) is still pending, there is uncertainty as to which (if any) of the parties 

will remain in the case, and what the operative pleading will consist of. The parties agree and 

stipulate that it would make more sense to finalize the pleadings before any status conference, and 

before the preparation of any joint status conference statement, and therefore request that the 

court continue the status conference from its present date until after it has decided the motion to 

dismiss, so that there is a final operative pleading defining the scope of the claim.
