JOINT STIPULATION AND ORDER SCHEDULING STATUS CONFERENCE 

Plaintiffs and Defendants, through their counsel, stipulate as follows: 

1. This action is proceeding on Plaintiffs’ second amended complaint, filed 

October 20, 2006. On March 15, 2007, the action was stayed by this Court. Plaintiffs’ 

September 19, 2012 motion to lift the stay was denied October 19, 2012 without prejudice 

to its renewal, as appropriate, not later than March 1, 2013, and the parties were directed to 

meet and confer on matters related to the resolution of issues disputed in this case within 

the Coleman v. Brown, Case No. 90-cv-520-LKK-JFM (E.D. Cal.) remedial process (ECF 

No. 102). 

2. Plaintiffs’ renewed motion to lift the stay was denied on April 12, 2013 

without prejudice to its renewal, as appropriate, not later than September 5, 2013. (ECF 

No. 107). The Court ordered the parties to continue to meet and confer, and complete their 

discussions by August 16, 2013. (Id.) The Court also ordered that any renewed motion to 

lift the stay be “accompanied by a joint report by the parties and approved by the Coleman 

special master.” (Id.) 

3. Since April 12, 2013, the parties have continued, with the assistance of the 

Coleman Special Master, to meet and confer concerning Plaintiffs’ allegations. These 

negotiations were detailed in a Joint Status Report that was approved and reviewed by 

Special Master Matthew Lopes and filed with the Court on September 5, 2013. 

4. Since the filing of the September 5, 2013 Joint Status Report, the parties 

have continued to meet and confer under the Coleman Special Master’s guidance. In the 

interim, the Court has ordered that the deadline for Plaintiffs’ motion to lift the stay be 

extended to December 31, 2013, February 28, 2014, May 3, 2014, and June 6, 2014. 

5. With the Coleman Special Master’s assistance, the parties are continuing to 

make progress in reaching a resolution of the litigation. The parties request an additional 

few weeks to finally complete negotiations. To that end, rather than seeking a further 

extension of the deadline by which Plaintiffs are to file a motion to lift the stay, the parties 

request that the Court schedule a Status Conference, at which time the parties will either 

inform the Court that an agreement has been reached or that the Hecker litigation should
