Plaintiffs and Defendants in the above-entitled matter, hereby stipulate that the 

deadline for completion of the Early Neutral Evaluation Conference in this matter be 

extended from February 2010 to April 30, 2010. As good cause for this proposed 

extension, the parties submit the following: 

1) On June 30, 2009 the Court entered a Reassignment Order reassigning this 

case to the Honorable Ronald M. Whyte; 

2) On October 2, 2009, during the Initial Case Management Conference, the 

Court set a hearing on Defendant County of Santa Clara’s Motion to Sever for December 

4, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. and instructed Plaintiffs and Defendant County of Santa Clara to also 

address the issue of whether a Stay of the Action should be entered; 

3) The Early Neutral Evaluation Conference in this matter was originally 

scheduled for October 1, 2009, then continued to October 8, 2009 and November 10, 

2009; 

4) On November 16, 2009 the parties filed their first Stipulation and [Proposed] 

Order to Continue the Early Neutral Evaluation (“ENE”) Conference completion deadline 

which the Court adopted and extended the deadline to an unspecified date in February 

2010; 

5) The parties put the ENE process on hold pending the Court’s decision on the 

Santa Clara County’s Motion to Sever Claims against the County; 

6) On December 28, 2009 the Court issued an Order Re: Defendant County of 

Santa Clara’s Motion to Sever Claims and Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application to Stay 

Proceedings. The Court ordered that Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Application be granted in part, 

and that the trial against the City of San Jose and the San Jose Police Officer Defendants 

be stayed. In all other respects, the Plaintiffs’ Application was denied. The Court also 

ordered that Defendant Santa Clara County’s Motion to Sever be granted. 

7) On January 14, 2010, the parties held a lengthy conference call with the 

appointed ENE Evaluator, Amitai Schwartz, in an effort to schedule a mutually convenient 

date for the ENE Conference in this matter.

8) Due to various conflicts, including scheduled trials, the parties were unable to 

select a mutually convenient date to hold this Conference until April 23, 2010. 

9) Although the Court ordered the case severed as to Santa Clara County, the 

matter is stayed as to the City of San Jose Defendants pending the outcome of an appeal 

filed by two of the Plaintiffs in this matter of their criminal convictions. 

10) Given the fact that no trial date has been set by the Court, and for the 

reasons set forth herein above, the parties submit that good cause exists for the extension 

of the ENE Conference deadline.
