CALIFORNIA ATTORNEY GENERAL EDMUND G. BROWN, in his official capacity, by and

through their respective attorneys of record hereby stipulate to the following recitals and proposed

order:

WHEREAS each of the attorneys for the parties independently failed to notice the Court's

addition in the footer area of Docket entry Number 16, 04/05/10, Stipulation of the Parties to

Continue the Case Management Conference, that reset the Case Management Conference for 

7/13/2010 at 2:00 p.m., and

WHEREAS the Docket entry for 04/05/2010 stated, "Deadlines terminated. 6 Case

Management Scheduling Order," which implied that there were no longer any hearings on calendar,

and

WHEREAS the parties apologize for any inconvenience they may have caused the Court by

inadvertently failing to attend the July 13, 2010 Case Management Conference, and

WHEREAS the parties agree that this case should remain stayed in the aftermath of

McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. ___ (2010) and District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. __, 128

S.Ct. 2783, 171 L.Ed.2d 637 (2008). There are several cases pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals

for the Ninth Circuit that may address issues left open by McDonald regarding the standard of review

for claims under the Second Amendment, Nordyke v. King Case No. 07-15763, Rothery v. Blanas,

Case No. 09-16852 and Mehl v. Blanas, Case No. 08-15773 and the viability of California's Carry

Concealed Weapons permits (CCW) under a appropriate standard of review (Mehl). Both Mehl and

Nordyke have been fully briefed and argued. Decisions in these matters were stayed pending the

ruling in McDonald. The opening brief was filed in Rothery, and the Ninth Circuit put the

opposition on hold until the McDonald decision came out. Resolution of these issues by the Ninth

Circuit could have a direct bearing on the disposition of this case, and

WHEREAS there is currently an earlier-filed case before Judge Seeborg, Jackson v. City and

County of San Francisco, No. C09-2143 RS, and though the Attorney General is not a party to that

case, both the City and County of San Francisco and Plaintiff represent that Jackson raises the same

claims against the same San Francisco ordinances as Plaintiff raises here, and

WHEREAS both the City and County of San Francisco and Plaintiff hope to prevent

duplicate proceedings on the same legal issue that could result in conflicting opinions issues by

moving to consolidate this case with Jackson, and

WHEREAS the parties agree that it would also be in the interest of judicial economy to have

the case stayed until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit renders final decisions in

Nordyke v. King and Mehl v. Blanas, and Judge Seeborg decides whether to consolidate this case

with Jackson,

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE TO THE FOLLOWING ORDER:

The Order dated July 14, 2010 dismissing the case for failure to prosecute is hereby set aside. 

Plaintiff's counsel is directed to notify the Court in writing when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the

Ninth Circuit renders final decisions in Nordyke v. King and Mehl v. Blanas including copies of the

opinions. Counsel for Defendant City and County of San Francisco shall likewise notify the Court in

writing on the disposition of the motion to consolidate. After receipt of these notifications, the Court

will issue an order setting a case management conference.

IT IS SO STIPULATED THIS THURSDAY, JULY 15, 2010,
