Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff Raymond J. Manzanillo and Defendants N. Brown, 

Gregory D. Lewis, J. Hallock, K. McGuyer, Matthew Cate, and T.A. Wood (collectively “the Parties”) 

by and through their respective counsel hereby stipulate and request that the Court (1) stay this action 

for a period of four weeks from the date of the Court’s Order granting this request; (2) continue the case 

management conference currently scheduled for August 19, 2015, to a date convenient for the Court that 

follows the end of the stay; and (3) continue the current August 7, 2015, deadline for the Parties to file 

case management statement.

Plaintiff’s counsel only recently gained access to visit Mr. Manzanillo in Corcoran State Prison 

and to documents in Mr. Manzanillo’s possession. Plaintiff’s counsel is currently working with counsel 

for the Defendants to ensure that Plaintiff’s counsel has access to all documents exchanged by the 

Parties in discovery thus far. The proposed stay will require the Court to reschedule the August 19 case 

management conference and extend the deadline for the Parties to file a case management statement, but 

it should not otherwise have a significant effect on the schedule for this case. Moreover, the requested 

stay will preserve both the Parties’ and the Court’s resources, as it will allow Plaintiff’s counsel the 

opportunity to secure and review the materials already produced by Defendants before participating in a 

case management conference or any additional litigation practice.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

DATED: August 5, 2015 Respectfully submitted,
