Case No. C06-6997 JSW 

STIPULATED APPLICATION TO 

RESET HEARING DATE AND ALTER 

BRIEFING SCHEDULE, [PROPOSED] 

ORDER 

STIPULATED APPLICATION 

This lawsuit challenges the portion of San Francisco's Health Care Security Ordinance 

("HCSO") that requires employers to make health care expenditures on behalf of their employees. 

This employer spending requirement becomes operative on January 1, 2008. The parties believe this 

matter can be resolved by summary judgment. 

On April 9, 2007, this Court filed an order setting a hearing for dispositive motions in the 

above-captioned matter for September 14, 2007. On May 14, 2007, a Clerk's Notice was issued

vacating the September 14th hearing date and setting a hearing for dispositive motions on October 12, 

2007. 

By this application, the parties respectfully request that the hearing for dispositive motions be 

moved up to Friday, August 31, 2007. Given that the employer spending requirement takes effect 

January 1, 2008, it is in the interest of the plaintiffs and the defendants – as well as San Francisco 

employers and employees at large – to obtain a prompt ruling on the validity of the mandate. The 

parties have also stipulated that opening briefs be filed July 13, 2007, oppositions be filed August 3, 

2007, and any replies be filed August 17, 2007. 

A proposed order is attached.
