FRESNO, CA 93729-8907

1. This action arises out of Plaintiff's claims that he is disabled, and that 

the property owned and/or operated by Defendants was and is not fully accessible to him 

in violation of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12181-12189, 

and parallel California law. Plaintiff seeks an injunction requiring Defendants to make the 

property fully accessible to him, as well as damages.

2. Defendants' responses to the complaint were initially due August 17, 

2015, which deadline was extended by stipulation to September 14, 2015 (Dkt. 9).

3. The purpose of the initial extension was to permit Defendants time to 

obtain an inspection of the property by a California Certified Access Specialist ("CASp") 

and subsequent report, to determine what, if any, barriers to access exist at the subject 

property and which report could form the basis of a resolution of Plaintiff's equitable 

claims.

4. Defendants have indicated a willingness to make Plaintiff's 

requested modifications, but there has been a delay in obtaining the CASp report and 

getting bids to have the work performed. Defendants anticipate that such information 

should be obtained by October 16, 2015, which will then allow the parties to engage in 

settlement discussions.

5. A Scheduling Conference is currently set for October 13, 2015.

6. The parties are cautiously optimistic that this matter will settle, and 

that it will therefore not be necessary for responsive pleadings to be filed nor for the 

scheduling conference to proceed. As such, the parties wish to conserve both the fees 

expended as well as Court resources while they exhaust settlement efforts.

7. For these reasons, the parties stipulate to continue the deadline to file 

responsive pleadings to October 30, 2015, and that the Scheduling Conference be 

continued to a date at the Court's convenience on or after November 13, 2015.
