STATUS AND STIPULATION AND 

[Proposed] ORDER TO EXTEND 

PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER DATES 

/

 TO THE COURT: 

A further modification of the pretrial scheduling order in 

this case may result in its final settlement, or if settlement 

is not reached, to a more efficient adjudication of the issues 

remaining between the parties. Although hotly contested, the 

case continues to enjoy a high degree of cooperation between the

parties. This will serve as a status report on resolution 

status, a request for further continuance of time to complete 

further settlement discussions, further discovery and pretrial 

submissions. The general availability of all proposed dates have 

been pre-checked with the Court’s Calendar Deputy. 

As a status, Plaintiff has reached a proposed partial 

settlement with Defendant City of Sacramento in the form of a 

proposed Consent Decree. Its submission is imminent, but 

partially impeded by mutual interest of Defendant Riverboat 

Delta King, Inc. (Delta King). The complicating factors are the 

K Street Landing Barge, which provides vertical access from the 

boardwalk down to the Delta King, and the riverfront’s head pier 

while accounting for tidal movements and the Aft Service Ramp 

leading to the hotel registration lobby entrance. Each of these 

issues concern engineering constraints as well as the mutual 

leasehold interests of Delta King. Cross-disciplinary experts 

have now been retained in an attempt to resolve these issues. 

The necessary expertise in these discussions include naval 

architecture, elevator construction, and structural engineering. 

Through this assistance, the Parties are exploring a couple of 

options. They are hopeful that these efforts will result in a 

resolution. 

Separately, Plaintiff Counsel and Defense Counsel for Delta 

King are engaging discussions around a compromised-set of 

injunctive relief concerning the Delta King structure, and with 

the objective that this will resolve all issues without the 

necessity of dispositive motions or trial. These discussions 

will also include a discussion involving both defendants

concerning Plaintiff’s alleged claim for an award of reasonable 

statutory attorney’s fees, litigation expenses and costs. 

The Parties are cognizant that the Court has granted 

several earlier continuances. This is an unusual case, one that 

combines history, maritime usage and applicable building codes 

in equal and often confusing part. The relevant history spans at 

least thirty years and perhaps as long as eight decades. Lost 

and missing records have compounded the difficulty of 

discovering and settling this case. The Parties represent that 

on each occasion they have made diligent use of this time and 

materially advanced the resolution status. They also represent 

that this further extension will advance the prospects for a 

productive settlement discussion and/or clarify and simply the 

issue to be adjudicated by the court should settlement not be 

reached. 

The parties have agreed to conduct expedited additional 

discovery. The Delta King’s reliance on the historic building 

code has necessitated some additional discovery, which all 

parties have agreed to expedite 

Therefore, the Parties respectfully request a further 

extension of trial and pre-trial related dates as follows:
