IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LINDA McDONOUGH

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Defendants.

CASE NO. 2:14-cv-01252-GEB-CMK

STIPULATION and [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO CONTINUE INITIAL 

STATUS CONFERENCE AND JOINT 

SCHEDULING REPORT

This is a Federal Tort Claims Act (“FTCA”) medical malpractice action. The Complaint in 

this matter was filed May 21, 2014. (Dkt. No. 1). The Court dismissed Plaintiff’s claim with leave to 

amend on November 20, 2014 (Dkt. No. 15). Plaintiff filed an amended complaint on February 17, 

2015. (Dkt. No. 22). After vacating previous dates, the Court also set a status conference on March 

23, 2015, at 9:00 a.m., and ordered a joint status report to be filed fourteen (14) days before the status 

conference. (Dkt. No. 20).1 On March 2, 2015, the United States filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiff’s 

First Amended Complaint (Dkt. No. 23), which is set for March 30, 2015.

Given the dispositive nature of the motion, the parties agree that it would be more efficient 

for the Court to resolve the pending motion to dismiss before setting a schedule or engaging in other 

proceedings, and that the initial scheduling conference and Joint Status Report should be continued 

until after such resolution. Therefore, the parties stipulate to continue the status conference to a date 

approximately 21 days after the motion to dismiss is resolved. The pretrial scheduling conference is 

 

1 There is also a pending Order to Show Cause, (see Dkt. No. 20), to which Plaintiff has responded. (See Dkt. No. 21).
