conference to Friday May 1, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., and likewise continuing the pre-case management 

conference deadlines based on the new case management conference date. 

In addition, the Court recently found the case Orlando Rodriguez v. City of San Francisco, et 

al., Case No. C 14-05613 SC related to this case (Doc. 18, filed March 10), and reassigned Rodriguez

to the Honorable Samuel Conti. The Court’s order vacated the existing initial case management 

conference date in Rodriguez, but a new initial case management conference has not yet been 

scheduled. The parties accordingly request that the initial case management conferences in both 

related cases be set for May 1, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. The parties are separately filing a stipulated request 

for an order setting the initial case management conference in Rodriguez for the same date and time as 

the parties presently request for Williams, Friday May 1, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. 

The parties respectfully request that the above stipulation be entered as the Court’s Order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

DECLARATION IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING 

TIME

I, Peter J. Keith declare as follows: 

 1. I am a Deputy City Attorney in the Office of the San Francisco City Attorney, counsel 

of record to Defendants City and County of San Francisco Gregory Skaug, Milen Banegas and 

Theodore Polovina, in the above action. I am also counsel of record to the defendants in the action 

Orlando Rodriguez v. City of San Francisco, et al., Case No. C 14-05613 SC, which the Court found 

related to this case (Doc. 18). I have personal knowledge of the contents of this declaration, except 

where indicated otherwise, and I could and would testify competently thereto if called upon to do so.

 2. Rule 6-2(a)(1), reasons for requested continuance. I am lead counsel for defendants in 

this case, but I am also counsel of record in City and County of San Francisco et al. v. Teresa 

Sheehan, U.S. Supreme Court Case No. 13-1412, which is set for oral argument in the United States 

Supreme Court on March 23, 2015. Because of commitments arising from that Supreme Court case 

which cannot be posponed, I do not have the necessary time to devote to this case under the current 

case management deadlines to gather materials necessary to make full and complete initial disclosures, 

or to formulate a discovery plan and reach agreement regarding case deadlines. In addition, I have a 

medical procedure which had to be postponed for several months until after the March 23, 2015 

Supreme Court argument, and I will be undergoing that procedure and recovering from it through midApril 2015. Finally, lead counsel for Plaintiffs Mr. Lacy informs me that he has a pre-planned 

vacation scheduled for April 3. 

 3. Rule 6-2(a)(2), previous time modifications. By stipulation the parties extended the 

time to file an Answer from February 25 to March 18. There have been no other time modifications. 

4. Rule 6-2(a)(3), effect of the proposed modification on the schedule for the case. Other 

than continuing the dates associated with the initial case management conference, the requested 

continuance is not expected to affect any other deadlines or the parties’ requested trial dates. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true 

and correct. Executed March 12, 2015 at San Francisco, California.

related case Orlando Rodriguez v. City of San Francisco, et al., Case No. C 14-05613 SC is set
