Defendants.

Case No. 1:23-cv-01265-KES-SAB

ORDER RE STIPULATION TO EXTEND 

TIME FOR DEFENDANT TO RESPOND TO

Court granted Plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint based upon the stipulation of the 

parties. (ECF No. 29.) The Court ordered that Defendants file a response within fourteen days 

after Plaintiffs filed the first amended complaint. On March 15, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a first 

amended complaint. (ECF No. 30.) Defendants’ responsive pleading is currently due on March 

29, 2024. 

On March 27, 2024, the parties filed a stipulation to extend the deadline for Defendants 

to file a responsive pleading. (ECF No. 31.) The parties proffer that Defendant County of 

Tulare employs two of the three Doe defendants named in the first amended complaint and the 

County must vote to allow existing counsel for the County to represent the Doe defendants. (Id.

stipulate that Defendants, including the new Doe defendants, may file their proposed responsive 

pleading by April 8, 2024. The Court finds good cause exists to grant the stipulated extension. 

Accordingly, pursuant to the stipulation of the parties and good cause appearing, IT IS 

HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants shall have up to and including April 8, 2024 to file their 

responsive pleadings to the first amended complaint. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
