motion, which was also set for July 21, but was subsequently re-noticed to August 25. (ECF Nos. 

26, 28.) On June 30, Defendants California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation 

(CDCR) and Morelos filed their motion to dismiss, and set it for hearing on August 25. (ECF No. 

29.) On June 30, Defendants Flores and French filed their dismissal motion, which is scheduled 

to be heard on August 4. (ECF No. 30.) 

To avoid multiple hearings based on similar issues and arguments raised or to be raised in 

Defendants’ motions to dismiss, the parties agree to set and continue the hearing on the motions 

to August 25, 2014. The parties further agree that the opposition and reply briefs will be due as 

set forth in Local Rule 230 based on an August 25 hearing.
