STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER RE EXTENDING DEADLINE FOR ENE 

HAUSCHILD V. CITY OF RICHMOND ET AL, CASE NO. 3:15-CV-01556 WHA 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the parties to this action, Plaintiff THOMAS 

HAUSCHILD, and Defendants CITY OF RICHMOND and CHRISTOPHER MAGNUS, hereby 

STIPULATE to extending the deadline in which to complete ADR. The current deadline to 

complete ADR is October 15, 2015. Through this stipulation, the parties are jointly requesting 

that this deadline be extended until December 18, 2015. 

There exists good cause in which to extend this deadline, as (1) the schedules of the 

participating parties did not allow for a mutually-agreeable date before October 15, 2015, (2) 

there was some delay in scheduling the ENE, as the original Evaluator was required to recuse 

herself due to an unforeseen conflict of interest after she had already scheduled the ENE session, 

(3) the parties would like to complete some of the key discovery, including the deposition of the 

Plaintiff, prior to participating in ADR believing that completion of that discovery will enhance 

the ADR process, (4) Plaintiff has requested additional time to respond to outstanding discovery 

because Plaintiff is in the process of responding to the defense motion for partial summary 

judgment and (5) after further consideration, the parties are requesting a referral to the Court’s 

private mediation, as opposed to ENE and request that the current ENE be converted to 

mediation, as the parties believe that they will have better success in achieving a reasonable 

settlement through the Court’s private mediation program, in lieu of ENE. 

As noted immediately above, the parties are also jointly requesting a referral to the 

Court’s private mediation program, as opposed to ENE. There exists good cause in which to 

grant this request, as the parties have been engaging in the discovery process in advance of the 

MSJ hearing in November 2015, and the parties believe that the better opportunity to achieve a 

reasonable resolution of this case is through the Court’s private mediation program. 

The parties are not making this request for the purpose of any undue delay, and no party 

would suffer any prejudice if this stipulation was granted. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between the parties that the compliance date for ADR be 

extended until December 18, 2015.
