1 Case No. C94 2307 CW

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO SET BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND ALLOW MEMORANDA IN EXCESS 

OF TWENTY-FIVE PAGES 

Plaintiffs will shortly file a Motion to Stop Defendants From Assaulting, Abusing 

and Retaliating Against People With Disabilities at R. J. Donovan Correctional Facility 

(“Plaintiffs’ Motion”). Plaintiffs have requested and Defendants have agreed that 

Plaintiffs’ opening Memorandum of Points and Authorities and Defendants’ Memorandum 

of Points and Authorities in Opposition may exceed the twenty-five page limit set by 

Northern District Local Rule 7-4 (b). The opening and opposition memoranda shall not 

exceed 45 pages in length. Plaintiffs contend that the additional pages are necessary due to 

the extensive and detailed factual allegations that they plan to present regarding the 

experiences of Armstrong class members and the lengthy procedural history and remedial 

negotiations between the parties in this case. 

The Parties have met and conferred regarding a briefing schedule for Plaintiffs’ 

Motion. Defendants request 60 days in which to oppose Plaintiffs’ Motion. To 

accommodate this request and the Court’s published hearing schedule, the Parties agree 

that Plaintiffs’ Motion shall be heard on May 19, 2020. Plaintiffs’ Motion will be filed no 

later than February 28, 2020; Defendants’ Opposition will be filed no later than April 27, 

2020; and Plaintiffs’ reply will be filed no later than May 11, 2020. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
