JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING ORDER FOR EXPERT 

DISCOVERY ONLY FOR ONE DAY

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

 This stipulation is entered into by and between plaintiffs, AARON JAMES 

ABBIE and DEBRA GORDEN (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), defendants, SHASTA 

COUNTY, SHASTA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, TOM BOSENKO, 

DAVE KENT, ROBERT VAN GERWEN, JUSTAN VORHIS and KIRK 

SCHRITTER (collectively, “County” or “County Defendants”),), to modify the 

operative Scheduling Order [Doc. 95] by continuing the expert discovery cut-off 

deadline one day, to December 17, 2024, with the Court’s permission. There are 

compelling reasons for this request by the parties herein:

1. The parties have been working collaboratively to conduct expert 

discovery. The parties have completed several expert depositions.

2. Based on the agreement of the parties, Plaintiffs served a first amended 

notice on November 12, 2024 for the deposition of County Defendants' expert, Robert 

Fonzi, to take place on December 13, 2024, at 3:00 p.m. (PT). Recently, on December 

10, 2024, Plaintiffs were informed that Mr. Fonzi’s availability is limited to two hours. 

3. After meeting and conferring, the parties agreed to reschedule the 

deposition. The next date that all parties are available for the deposition is December 

17, 2024. Based on the current scheduling order, the expert discovery cut-off is 

December 16, 2024. 

4. Therefore, the parties request a continuance of the expert discovery 

deadline from December 16, 2024, to December 17, 2024. 

5. The Court has previously approved eight requests to continue the 

scheduling order deadlines in this matter. This stipulation has been made in good faith 

by the parties’ counsel who believe the continuance requested is reasonable to permit 

the completion of expert discovery.

6. The parties, through their counsel of record, have met and conferred in 

order to reach an agreement as to modification of the scheduling order, and have agreed 

to the dates proposed below based on all parties’ availability, as well as the time

reasonably required to finish expert discovery.

7. No trial date has been set in this matter. 

WHEREAS, for good cause and pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4), the 

parties in this case submit for the court’s consideration the following:

WHEREAS, per the Court’s Order of November 21, 2024 (Dkt. 103) the case 

against defendants, WELLPATH, INC., WELLPATH MANAGEMENT, INC., and 

WELLPATH, LLC (collectively, “Wellpath Defendants”), and defendants 

CALIFORNIA FORENSIC MEDICAL GROUP, INC. (“CFMG”), KERI 

RUBALCAVA, R.N., DANIEL DELLWO, P.A.; JAMIE REBELLO, L.V.N. 

(collectively, “CFMG Defendants”) is stayed and, any argument to the contrary, the 

action is proceeding solely against the other Defendants. Therefore, this Stipulation 

is entered into between Plaintiffs and the County Defendants.

WHEREAS, Pursuant to Local Rule 131(e), I, Dominique L. Boubion, attest 

that Lynn L. Carpenter, Jerome M. Varanini and Paul A. Cardinale concur with the 

content of this stipulation and have authorized the filing of the same.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
