THOMAS A. SPITZER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

TRISHA A. ALJOE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-05442-MEJ 

ORDER STAYING ALL MOTIONS 

PENDING MEDIATION

Re: Dkt. Nos. 115, 122, 130

Pending before the Court is the City Defendants’ Motion for Reconsideration (Dkt. No. 

115), Plaintiffs’ Motion for a Discovery Extension (Dkt. No. 122), and Plaintiffs’ Motion to File a 

Sur-Reply in Response to the City Defendants’ Reply to Plaintiffs’ Opposition to the City 

Defendants’ Motion for Reconsideration (Dkt. No. 130). Discovery closed on July 6, 2015 and 

currently dispositive motions are due by August 6, 2015. See Order, Dkt. No. 97. 

The parties recently informed the undersigned’s courtroom deputy that they plan to attend 

private mediation in early August. So that the parties may focus on settlement negotiations, the 

Court finds it appropriate to stay briefing deadlines and any hearings related to the above motions, 

as well as the upcoming dispositive motion deadlines and hearing. Accordingly, the Court 

STAYS all briefing deadlines and VACATES all pretrial hearing dates scheduled in this case. 

The parties shall file a joint status report within two weeks of completion of their mediation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: July 24, 2015
