JOINT STIPULATED REQUEST TO MODIFY 

SCHEDULING ORDER; [PROP] ORDER -1- 

 Plaintiff NATHANIEL SMITH and Defendants CITY OF STOCKTON, 

OFFICER ROBIN HARRISON, OFFICER PATRICK MAYER, OFFICER MICHAEL 

PEREZ, and CHIEF OF POLICE ERIC JONES (also hereinafter collectively referred to 

as “Defendants”), by and through their undersigned counsel of record, and subject to the 

approval of the court, hereby stipulate as follows: 

 Whereas, the parties have agreed to engage in mediation in a good-faith effort to 

resolve the case; and 

Whereas, in order to focus on trying to resolve the case, the parties have agreed 

to jointly request modification of the scheduling order that continues various discovery 

deadlines, but does not change dispositive motion and trial dates; and 

 Whereas, mediation is scheduled for February 17, 2017; and 

Whereas, the expert disclosure deadline in this case is currently March 3, 2017, 

and the expert rebuttal deadline is currently March 24, 2017; and 

 Whereas, the parties have agreed to produce outstanding discovery by February 

28, 2017, and to a tentative deposition schedule allowing for completion of outstanding 

depositions between February 22 and March 23, 2017; and 

 Whereas, when an act must be done within a specified time, the court may, for 

good cause, extend the time with or without motion or notice of the court acts, or if a 

request is made, before the original time expires. Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(A); see also 

Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc. 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992) (“The district 

court may modify the pretrial schedule ‘if it cannot be reasonably met despite the 

diligence of the party seeking the amendment.’”);
