CIVIL ACTION NO. 16-CV-0544 KAW

DATE FOR RESPONSIVE PLEADING; 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

CMC Date: October 25, 2016, 1:30 p.m. 

1301 Clay Street 

Oakland, CA 94612 

The parties, through their undersigned attorneys, have cooperatively worked towards settlement 

of this Freedom of Information Act action and anticipate that it will be resolved in the next few weeks. 

Defendants have made several productions of agency records and have only one request for information 

that remains outstanding. Defendants are working diligently to complete their production of agency 

records in response to this request, and anticipate that they will be able to complete production by the 

end of the month. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate and request pursuant to Civ. L.R. 6-2 and 7-

12 that: (1) the Case Management Conference currently scheduled for October 25, 2016, at 1:30 p.m. be 

vacated; and (2) the Government’s deadline to file a responsive pleading be extended to November 30, 

2016. The Court has reset the Case Management Conference and Answer date on two prior occasions, 

and the parties have stipulated to three one-month extensions of the Answer date as they continue to 

collaboratively work to resolve this matter. 

At this time, Defendants believe that production will be completed in October, but the parties 

will need additional time to negotiate Plaintiffs’ request for attorneys’ fees. Defendants’ responsive 

pleading is currently due on October 31, 2016. The parties will work towards completing the remaining 

production and resolving the request for attorneys’ fees in time to file a stipulated dismissal of the case 

by November 30, 2016. The parties will notify the Court if additional time is needed to resolve the case. 

If any party subsequently determines that a Case Management Conference is necessary, that party will 

notify the Court. 

A proposed order is attached. 

Respectfully submitted,
