evidence obtained thus far and to assert all viable legal theories. Specifically, Plaintiff is adding two 

claims: (1) Failure To Engage In An Interactive Process and (2) Failure To Reasonably 

Accommodate (both alleged violations of the Fair Employment & Housing Act, Cal. Govt. Code § 

12940, et seq.). Plaintiff has also made miscellaneous modifications to the body of the complaint, to 

make it conform to proof. 

 Given the very liberal rules governing amendments to pleadings, Defendant does not object 

to the amendments. Therefore, in order to conserve the resources of the parties and the Court, the 

parties hereby stipulate and agree that good cause exists to allow Plaintiff leave to file his First 

Amended Complaint. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED AND AGREED.
