TO THE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

Plaintiff CARL EDWARDS and defendants CITY OF VALLEJO, SPENCER

BOTTOMLEY, MARK THOMPSON, BRETTON WAGONER AND STEVE DARDEN, 

hereby stipulate as follows:

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED BY AND BETWEEN the parties to the above-captioned 

matter that the parties respectfully request the Court issue an order continuing the date for 

disclosure of expert witnesses and exchange of expert reports from April 17, 2020 to May 8, 

2020.

Good cause exists for the requested continuance. On March 19, 2020 Richard W. Osman 

associated into this case as lead trial counsel for all defendants. In the same timeframe, the City 

and County of San Francisco issued a shelter in place order due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

While preparation of this case is moving forward in the face of the shelter in place order,

communication with clients and retained experts has been made more difficult and necessitates, 

at least in the case of defendants, a short extension of time to complete the necessary expert 

disclosures. Counsel for the parties met and conferred and agreed to request a short three-week 

extension of time to complete the expert disclosures.

This is the first request to continue the expert discovery deadlines. This extension will not 

affect any other dates previously set by the Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED AND REQUESTED THROUGH THE PARTIES COUNSEL 

OF RECORD.

Dated: April 10, 2020 BERTRAND, FOX, ELLIOT, OSMAN & WENZEL
