 JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR 

ADMINISTRATIVE RELIEF FROM INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE 

Case No. 3:15-cv-03229-SC

986557 

 Plaintiff Gail Payne and Defendants Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (d/b/a/ Major 

League Baseball) and Robert. D. Manfred, Jr., by and through their undersigned counsel, stipulate 

and agree as follows: 

 WHEREAS, on October 2, 2015, the Defendants will move to dismiss Plaintiff’s 

Complaint because Defendants assert that Plaintiff lacks standing and has failed to state a claim 

for relief;

 WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s opposition brief will be due October 16, 2015, Defendants’ reply 

brief will be due October 23, 2015, and the first possible date when the Court could hear 

argument on the motion to dismiss will be in November 2015; 

WHEREAS, under N.D. Cal. L.R. 16-2(a), the Initial Case Management Conference was 

scheduled—by default—for October 23, 2015;

 WHEREAS, the parties believe that it would be needlessly inefficient to hold an Initial 

Case Management Conference before the Court has an opportunity to consider the motion to 

dismiss; 

WHEREAS, the parties believe that the most efficient case management schedule is to 

hold an Initial Case Management Conference 30 days after the Court issues a final determination 

on any motion to dismiss (and that all related deadlines be reset based on that Case Management 

Conference date); 

IT IS THEREFORE HEREBY STIPULATED that: 

1. The Initial Case Management Conference currently scheduled for October 23, 2015 

(Dkt. 31) and all related deadlines shall be continued;

2. The Court shall re-schedule the Initial Case Management Conference upon final 

determination of any motion to dismiss.
