(“Plaintiff”), Defendants Andrew Nangalama and Randall Hale (together, “Defendants,” collectively 

with Plaintiff, the “Parties”), by and through their counsel, hereby jointly submit the following 

Stipulation and Proposed Order for a short extension of the discovery cut-off due to delays in the 

production of documents by California State Prison – Sacramento (“CSP-Sac”) which has impacted 

the commencement of deposition discovery as explained further below.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, by previous order reopening discovery for 120 days from the date the order was 

electronically filed, October 17, 2022, (ECF No. 226), the close of discovery is February 14, 2023;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff promptly prepared and served requests for production on Defendants 

Andrew Nangalama and Randall Hale on November 3, 2022 (“Document Requests”);

WHEREAS, Plaintiff also personally served CSP-Sac with a Subpoena Duces Tecum (the 

“Subpoena”) on November 15, 2022 and specified a return date of December 6, 2022;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff received Defendants’ responses to the Document Requests on or about 

December 13, 2022, in which Defendants indicated that they do not have many of the requested 

documents, and Defendants are also seeking documents from CSP-Sac;

WHEREAS, CSP-Sac did not respond to Plaintiff’s Subpoena by the deadline;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s counsel emailed CSP-Sac on December 7, 2022, to inquire about the 

status of its response to the Subpoena;

WHEREAS, from December 7 through December 14, 2022, Plaintiff’s counsel exchanged 

emails with CSP-Sac in its offer to obtain the documents requested in the Subpoena and commence 

depositions in January 2023;

WHEREAS, on December 14, 2022, counsel for Defendants instructed Plaintiff’s counsel that 

all correspondence directed to CSP-Sac should be directed to counsel for Defendants; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Plaintiff and counsel for Defendants met and conferred regarding CSPSac’s response to the Subpoena on December 16, 2022;

WHEREAS, CSP-Sac’s search for documents responsive to the Subpoena is still ongoing.

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINE

Case No. 2:10-cv-02009-MCE-EFB 

WHEREAS, counsel for both Plaintiff and Defendant need CSP-Sac’s responses to the

at CSP-Sac and late-December holidays make it uncertain as to when CSP-Sac will commence 

producing documents in response to the Subpoena or when the production will be completed.

STIPULATION

NOW, THEREFORE,the Parties hereby agree as follows subject to the Court’s approval:

The parties agree to extend the close of discovery by 45 days to Friday, March 31, 2023.

SO STIPULATED.
