STIPULATED REQUEST FOR 

MODIFICATION OF THE CASE 

MANAGEMENT ORDER 

 The parties to this action hereby stipulate to, and request, a modification of 

the February 8, 2006 Case Management Conference Order as follows: 

 The trial in this matter is currently scheduled for March 27, 2007. The 

defense counsel has a trial scheduled for this same date in U.S. District Court for 

the Eastern District of California, in Sacramento, namely Gregson v. Manteca, civil 

case number S-04-873 WBS GGH. As the Gregson matter is the earlier filed case,

we ask that the Court continue the trial date in this case for 30 days as the same 

defense counsel in the present case will also be trying the Gregson matter. 

 Plaintiff’s attorney will be out of the country for the month of January, 2007. 

Plaintiff’s attorney is in discovery presently in a case in Federal Court in Fresno, 

Galvan v. Modesto Police Department, case number CV-F-05-0986 AWILJO. In 

that case we have a non-expert discovery cut off of February 28, 2007. 

 Because of this and other pending matters, including difficulty the parties 

have experienced in locating some of the witnesses, the parties also request that all 

of the currently scheduled pending dates in this action be continued to correspond 

to the new trial date. 

 The current scheduling order calls for expert disclosure on November 15, 

2006, but disclosure of expert witness’ reports on December 8, 2006. The parties 

request that the disclosure of expert witnesses be consolidated with the date of the 

disclosure of expert witness’ reports under the new schedule. 

 The parties therefore request the following revised scheduled dates: 

Disclosure of all witnesses, including expert 

witnesses, and expert reports. February 16, 2007

Completion of discovery. March 16, 2007

Last day to hear dispositive motions. April 16, 2007

Deadline for joint pretrial conference statement and 

proposed pretrial order under Civil Local Rule 16-

9(b), compliance with Local Rule 16-8(b)(7)-(10) 

and such other matters as required by the judge. May 2, 2007

Last date for objections to exhibits under Local 

Rule 16-8(b)(11). May 10, 2007

Pretrial conference. May 11, 2007

Trial. June 1, 2007

 Finally, at the initial pretrial conference, the Court indicated that intended to 

bifurcate the Monell claim from the underlying Fourth Amendment claim. 

However, the Court did not indicate in its order whether this bifurcation was 

intended to apply to discovery in this matter. The parties request a clarification of 

this issue as they complete the scheduled discovery in this case.
