UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHANNEL CENTENO, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

CITY OF FRESNO, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:16-cv-00653-DAD-SAB

ORDER DENYING STIPULATION TO 

AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

(ECF No. 30)

On July 21, 2016, the scheduling order issued in this action. On December 29, 2016, the 

parties filed a stipulation to amend certain deadlines in the July 21, 2016 scheduling order so 

they can complete discovery which will allow the parties to fully explore settlement. The 

deadlines proposed in the scheduling order do not provide sufficient time between the proposed 

dates and the pretrial conference to allow the court to hear and decide any dispositive motions. 

Accordingly, the parties’ stipulation to amend the scheduling order is denied without prejudice.

The parties are advised that pursuant to the Local Rules the hearing a motion is to be 

noticed not less than twenty-eight days after service and filing of the motion. L.R. 230(b). The 

proposed schedule does not allow the district judge sufficient to time to hear the motion and 

issue an order addressing the motion prior to the pretrial conference. In order to allow 

consideration of the motion and for the parties to have time to file a meaningful pretrial 

statement, the proposed schedule should allow ten weeks between the motion filing deadline and 

the pretrial conference. Additionally if the parties wish to advance the settlement conference 

they may contact this Court.
