UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DENISE STRIPLING, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF 

CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants. 

Case No. 14-cv-2606-YGR 

ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO 

EXTEND DISCOVERY; REFERRING CASE TO 

MAGISTRATE JUDGE WESTMORE FOR 

DISCOVERY CONFERENCE; SETTING 

COMPLIANCE HEARING 

Re: Dkt. No. 78 

Currently pending before the Court is plaintiff Denise Stripling’s motion to extend the 

discovery period for 135 days. (Dkt. No. 78.) Defendants oppose, requesting that the Court instead 

stay discovery pending resolution of the settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Beeler. (Dkt. 

No. 79.) Have carefully considered the papers, and for good cause shown, plaintiff’s request is 

hereby GRANTED IN PART and defendants’ request is DENIED. 

Pursuant to Local Rule 72-1 the Court REFERS this case to Magistrate Judge Westmore to 

conduct a discovery conference to resolve outstanding issues and assist the parties in drafting a 

discovery plan. The parties shall complete depositions by the end of the summer. Within five 

business days after the conference with Magistrate Judge Westmore, the parties shall file JOINTLY: (i) 

a detailed discovery plan, and (ii) a proposed revised case schedule which the Court shall consider. 

The Court also SETS a Compliance Hearing regarding the parties’ filing of a detailed discovery 

plan and proposed revised case schedule to be held on Friday, June 3, 2016 on the Court’s 9:01 a.m. 

calendar, in the Federal Courthouse, 1301 Clay Street, Oakland, California, in Courtroom 1. No later 

than May 27, 2016, the parties shall file either: (a) a detailed discovery plan and proposed revised case 

schedule; or (b) a one-page JOINT STATEMENT setting forth an explanation for their failure to comply. 

If compliance is complete, the parties need not appear and the compliance hearing will be taken off
