SAN JOSE DIVISION

M.W., et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF 

THE ARMY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-04051-BLF 

ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANTS’

UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR NINETY 

DAY STAY; VACATING MOTION 

HEARING DATE; AND CONTINUING

INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE

[Re: ECF 32]

Plaintiffs M.W. (a minor) and the American Diabetes Association sue the United States 

Department of the Army and related entities, claiming that children with diabetes are precluded 

from participating in activities offered on military bases throughout the country as a result of 

Defendants’ refusal to provide necessary diabetes-related care in connection with those activities. 

Plaintiffs filed this action on July 19, 2016, seeking injunctive and declaratory relief under Section 

504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794.

Defendants have filed a motion for stay, currently set for hearing on January 19, 2017, in 

which they request ninety days to revise their policies and procedures for providing diabetesrelated care to children who wish to participate in activities offered on military bases. Defendants’ 

motion does not seek to stay mediation between the parties during the ninety day period. Plaintiffs 

initially opposed the motion for stay and briefing was completed in early December 2016. 

However, Plaintiffs subsequently filed a withdrawal of their opposition. See Notice of Plaintiffs’ 

Withdrawal of Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Stay Litigation, ECF 38.
