CASE NO.: 2:20-cv-01995-KJM-DMC

JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

This stipulation is entered into by and between Plaintiffs, AARON JAMES ABBIE and DEBRA 

GORDEN, Defendants, SHASTA COUNTY, TOM BOSENKO, DAVE KENT, ROBERT VAN 

GERWEN, JUSTAN VORHIS and KIRK SCHRITTER (“County Defendants”), Defendants, 

WELLPATH, INC., WELLPATH MANAGEMENT, INC., and WELLPATH, LLC (“Wellpath 

Defendants”), Defendants CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL GROUP, INC.; KERI 

RUBALCAVA, R.N.; DANIEL DELLWO, P.A.; and JAMIE REBELLO, L.V.N. by and through their 

respective counsel, to modify the operative Scheduling Order [Doc. 88] by continuing all deadlines 

approximately 60 days, with the Court’s permission. There are compelling reasons for this request by the 

parties herein:

1. On April 16, 2024, the parties submitted a Stipulation and Proposed Order to Modify the 

Scheduling Order extending the discovery deadlines. [Doc. 87.]

2. On April 22, 2024, the Court signed an Order extending the discovery dates as requested 

in Document 85. [Doc. 88.] 

3. The parties seek to take additional depositions; however, the coordination of counsels’ 

calendars with available dates for such depositions, plus the availability of the witnesses themselves, 

requires a longer time frame than permitted by the current Scheduling Order [Doc. 88], as detailed below.

The parties have been diligently moving forward with discovery, but the calendars of counsel, including 

their impacted trial schedules, have made coordination of deposition dates challenging. 

 4. The Parties request a continuance of the non-expert discovery deadline and the expert 

deadlines. The Parties do not seek to reschedule the Settlement Conference or the MSJ Hearing Deadline. 

However, counsel for the County defendants are unable to appear in person at the settlement conference 

due to the Court’s rescheduling of the trial date in another matter for August 27, 2024 in downtown Los 

Angeles. 

5. The Court has previously approved eight requests to continue the scheduling order 

deadlines in this matter. This stipulation has been made in good faith by the parties’ counsel who believe 

the length of the continuance requested is reasonable to permit all parties to complete meaningful 

discovery. The continuance is not sought for delay; rather, it is necessary to enable the parties to conduct 

additional meaningful discovery. 

6. No trial date has been set in this matter.

WHEREAS, for good cause and pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4), the parties in this case 

submit for the Court’s consideration the following: 

EVENT CURRENT DEADLINE NEW DEADLINE
