STIPULATION RE: SUMMARY JUDGMENT BRIEFING SCHEDULE Case No.: 1:12-cv-00556-AWI-BAK (BAM)

- 1 -

WHEREAS on July 7, 2022, the Court issued a minute order setting the following 

briefing schedule for Castlerock Farming and Transport, Inc.’s (“Castlerock”) joint employer 

summary judgment motion and Defendant Albert L. Good’s safe harbor summary judgment 

motion: “Motion Filing Deadline: October 28, 2022; Opposition Deadline: February 17, 2023; 

Reply Deadline: 14 days after date opposition filed” (Dkt. 98);

WHEREAS the Court’s July 7 Order also recognized that “Defendants anticipate 

completing depositions of the named plaintiffs in advance of filing any summary judgment 

motion” (id.);

WHEREAS counsel for Castlerock and Mr. Good and counsel for Plaintiffs have been 

meeting and conferring diligently since July to schedule Plaintiffs’ depositions but have been 

unable to do so due to scheduling conflicts, including a trial set for September 26, 2022, in Los 

Angeles County Superior Court;

WHEREAS the parties anticipate that Plaintiffs’ depositions will take place in the latter 

half of October, 2022; and

WHEREAS counsel for Castlerock and Mr. Good and counsel for Plaintiffs have also 

given significant focus and attention to settlement discussions, which would obviate the need for 

summary judgment motions, and anticipate continuing to do so as the case progresses;
