IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

SACRAMENTO DIVISION 

JOHN PHILLIP MONCRIEF, 

Plaintiff,

v. 

CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF 

CORRECTIONS and 

REHABILITATION, et al., 

Defendants.

Case No. 2:12-cv-00414 MCE AC (PC) 

STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR 

DEFENDANTS TO COMPLETE THE 

DEPOSITION OF PLAINTIFF; PROPOSED 

ORDER 

The parties request a five-day extension of time to take the deposition of Plaintiff on or 

before February 19, 2016. On December 18, 2015, the parties submitted a stipulation for an 

extension of time to complete the depositions of the parties, as the pleadings were not finalized 

until September 2015, and counsel for both parties were preparing for trial and/or in trial. (ECF 

No. 74.) The Court issued an Order on December 23, 2016, granting the stipulation that 

discovery be re-opened for the purpose of deposing the parties only to be completed by February 

12, 2016. (ECF No. 75.)

Stipulation to Extend Time to Complete the Deposition of Plaintiff (2:12-cv-00414 MCE AC (PC)) 

Counsel for Defendants had a trial scheduled in the Eastern District on January 25, 2016. 

That trial date was vacated on January 12, 2016, and set for a settlement conference on February 

4, 2016. 

Once the January 25, 2016 trial date was vacated, counsel started discussions to set the 

depositions of the two Defendants and Plaintiff. During those discussions, on January 26, 2016, 

counsel for Defendants had to travel out-of-state for a funeral of a family member, and will not be 

back in the office until February 1, 2016. However, Defendants’ counsel has had her office 

contact with Plaintiff’s counsel to continue to obtain available dates for the depositions. 

Agreement was made for Defendants’ depositions to be taken on February 5, 2016, at Plaintiff’s 

counsel’s office in Oakland. Plaintiff is currently incarcerated at RJD Correctional Facility in San 

Diego. Counsel for both parties will need to travel to San Diego to take the deposition of 

Plaintiff. Communication between our offices has been consistent in attempts to obtain a 

conveniently available date for Plaintiff’s deposition. Plaintiff’s counsel is not available the week 

of February 8, 2016, except for February 10, 2016. Defendants’ counsel is available all week of 

February 8, 2016, except for February 10, 2016, as she has a hearing at 10:00 a.m. in the Fresno 

District Court, with appearance required. Plaintiff’s counsel has advised he is available on 

February 17, 2016. Contact has been made with the litigation coordinator at RJD , who 

confirmed that the deposition can be taken on February 17, 2016.
