IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRESNO DIVISION 

BENNY ROUNDTREE,

Plaintiff,

v.

DERRAL ADAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

1:01-cv-06502-LJO-SMS

ORDER FOLLOWING

STIPULATION, AND VACATING 

CURRENT DATES AND SETTING A

NEW SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

Date: 03/22/2007

Time: 9:00 a.m.

Courtroom: 8 (LJO)

Come now the parties, plaintiff Benny Roundtree, Jr., by counsel Patience Milrod, and

defendants Adams, Castillo, F.C. Schumacher, Wadkins, Fouch, Young, Rodriguez, Ramirez,

Hegge, Friedman, and Hill, by counsel Kelli Hammond, and agree and stipulate as follows:

There are seventeen named defendants. Of those defendants, three have not yet been

served, specifically, defendants L.C. Schwimmer, A. Peterson, and J. Bunker. Counsel for

defendants received the last known addresses for Schwimmer and Peterson on March 1, 2007,

and has forwarded that information to plaintiff’s counsel. Plaintiff will now attempt to serve

these two defendants. Defense counsel is still attempting to secure defendant Bunker’s last

known address, and will convey it to plaintiff as soon as obtained; at that time, plaintiff will

immediately attempt service on defendant Bunker.

In addition, defendants have advised plaintiff that they intend to renew their motion to

dismiss the complaint on the grounds that plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies

prior to filing suit as to the claims against defendants Fouch, Wadkins, Rodriguez, Young,

Westphal, Hill, Friedman, and D. Schumacher. The renewed motion to dismiss will be based on

a change in the law that occurred after the court ruled on defendants’ motion. If defendants

Peterson and Schwimmer are served before the date set for hearing defendants’ motion to

dismiss, they will request they be joined in defendants’ motion to dismiss.

The parties have extended dates for completing depositions in this case. Based on this

extension, the service of at least two additional defendants, and a hearing on defendants’ renewed

motion to dismiss the complaint, the parties hereby stipulate and agree to an order vacating the

dates currently scheduled for discovery, designation of expert witnesses, dispositive motions,

settlement conference, and trial, and for an order setting a new scheduling conference.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
