CASE NO.:2:09-CV-01852-JAM-GGH-PS

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO

WITHDRAW MOTION TO DISMISS,

EXTEND TIME FOR PLAINTIFF’S

ANSWER OR MOTION, AND SCHEDULE

BRIEFS AND HEARING

For the reasons set forth below, and subject to the Court’s approval, the parties hereby stipulate

as follows:

1. Defendant hereby withdraws the motion to dismiss filed on March 3, 2010, and currently set

for hearing on May 20, 2010.

2. The United States consents to an extension of time to and including May 17, 2010, in which

defendant may file his answer to the complaint or a new motion to dismiss asserting the same and/or

additional defenses.

3. If defendant files a new motion to dismiss, he will set it for hearing at 10:00 a.m. on July 15,

2010, and briefs will be filed on the following schedule: (a) the United States’ memorandum in

Stipulation to Continue/Re-File Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss 2

opposition and cross-motion for summary judgment will be filed by June 16, 2010; (b) defendant’s

reply memorandum and opposition to summary judgment will be filed by June 30, 2010; and (c) the

United States’ reply memorandum will be filed by July 7, 2010.

The reasons for this stipulation are as follows:

1. Defendant has not filed an answer to the complaint, but instead filed a motion to dismiss. 

Defendant wants to file a new motion to dismiss, asserting one or more additional defenses. It would

be inefficient for the Court and the parties to litigate both the current motion and a new one.

2. The United States plans to file a cross-motion for summary judgment for hearing at the same

time as defendant’s motion to dismiss. However, the United States has been unable to file a response to

the current motion or a cross-motion for summary judgment because its counsel of record, Assistant

U.S. Attorney Ana Maria Martel, has been absent from work for medical reasons all or part of most

days since March 29, 2010, and she will be absent at least two (and perhaps four) weeks of May.
