CASE NO. 2:18-cv-02749-TLN-DMC 

STIPULATION AND ORDER AMENDING 

SCHEDULING ORDER 

 

Trial Date: Not Set 

FAC Filed: December 3, 2018 

Complaint Filed: October 11, 2018 

STIPULATION 

 The parties to this matter hereby stipulate to amendment of the current Scheduling Order 

[Document 5] as set forth herein: 

 1. Basis for the Amendment 

 Plaintiff’s counsel has met and conferred telephonically with counsel for Defendants in the 

above matter to discuss issues regarding dispositive motion deadlines and page limits. The parties had 

previously agreed that according to the Court’s Scheduling Order, the deadline for filing dispositive 

motions would be February 17, 2020. Plaintiff’s counsel has had this deadline calendared and 

conducted timely discovery and investigation in anticipation of filing a Motion for Partial Summary 

Judgment. Plaintiff’s counsel had a complex Motion for Summary Judgment due in another matter on 

Case 2:18-cv-02749-TLN-DMC Document 17 Filed 02/13/20 Page 1 of 3

January 17, 2020. After completing that filing, plaintiff’s counsel began to devote significant time to 

this matter. In late January, however, plaintiff’s counsel was approached by a colleague who, 

following the untimely death of another attorney, had been appointed to represent the defendant in the 

retrial of a decades-old capital homicide case, and needed relief counsel to assist with the remainder of 

his caseload. This new obligation, on top of the usual professional and personal obligations, has made 

it difficult for Mr. Washington to complete the research and writing necessary to adequately represent 

Mr. Herrera in the filing of a dispositive motion in this case. A brief continuance will not unduly 

prejudice any party, and no subsequent dates in this matter have yet been set. 

 Regarding page limits, the Court previously granted Defendants’ request to increase the page 

limit on their forthcoming Motion for Summary Judgment, or in the Alternative Partial Summary 

Judgment, from twenty (20) pages to thirty (30) pages. Plaintiff’s draft Points and Authorities in 

support of his corresponding motion is approaching the 20-page limit as well, and the parties have 

agreed to a reciprocal increase in connection with his own planned Motion for Partial Summary 

Judgment. 

 Therefore, good cause appearing, the parties hereby stipulate to amendment of the Scheduling 

Order as follows: 

 2. Items in Scheduling Order Requested to be Amended 

 A. Currently, the deadline to file dispositive motions is February 17, 2020. 

 The proposed deadline to file dispositive motions is March 6, 2020. 

B. Currently, Plaintiff is limited to twenty (20) pages for his points and authorities 

in support of any dispositive motion. 

 The proposed increased page limitation for Plaintiff’s points and authorities in 

support of dispositive motion is thirty (30) pages. 

Dated: February 12, 2020 Respectfully submitted, 

 WASHINGTON & WASHINGTON
