Plaintiffs THOMAS WILLIAMS and CARLOS WILLIAMS (“Plaintiffs”) and 

Defendants COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA, NATHAN 

DANIEL, JOSEPH ZALEC, AND DEREK HUTCHINS, (collectively “Defendants”), by and 

through their (“Parties”) counsel of record, hereby stipulate and request that the Court continue 

the deadlines for expert witness disclosures and supplemental expert witness disclosures for 45 

days. Good cause exists for the requested continuance pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure Rule 16(d) based upon the following: 

1. On July 15, 2021, this Court consolidated the above-referenced cases with respect 

to discovery only. 

2. On October 5, 2021, in Case No. 2:20-cv-00598-TLN-KJN, this Court issued an 

Amended Pre-Trial Scheduling Order setting forth all pre-trial deadlines. The Court entered the 

same Order on October 26, 2021 in Case No. 2:19-cv-02345-TLN-KJN. 

3. On April 6, 2022, this Court granted the Parties’ joint stipulation to extend the pretrial deadlines, which extended the fact discovery deadline to January 12, 2023. 

4. On January 19, 2023, this Court granted the Parties’ joint stipulation to extend 

discovery deadlines for the limited purposes of completing the defendant deputies’ depositions, 

facilitating the production of records pursuant to the Court’s January 6, 2023 Order [Dkt. Nos. 43 

& 48], and having Plaintiffs’ expert examine the physical camera that was in Deputy Daniel’s 

vehicle on the night of the incident and subsequently removed. This Court also granted the Parties’ 

request to extend expert disclosure and dispositive motions dates. 

On June 5, 2023, this Court granted the Parties’ joint stipulation to extend expert 

disclosure and dispositive motions dates, as the parties were working diligently to prepare and 

gather expert reports and agreed that more time was needed for the experts to finalize their reports. 

6. The Parties are now requesting one final extension of the expert disclosure and 

dispositive motions dates due to an issue with Mr. Scott DeFoe, one of Plaintiff’s experts. Mr. 

DeFoe recently had a death in the family and is experiencing other family issues, causing him to 

travel across the Country. As such, Defendants graciously agreed to stipulate to extend out these 

deadlines to allow Mr. DeFoe to attend to his family and then complete his expert report.
