UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

On March 16, 2015, the Court ordered counsel to contact the assigned Magistrate Judge within 

14 days to set a further scheduling conference. (Doc. 54) This did not occur. Thus, on April 1, 2015, 

the Court unilaterally set the further scheduling conference on May 1, 2015 and ordered counsel to file 

a joint statement proposing dates for the pretrial conference and the trial seven days in advance. (Doc. 

55) This did not occur. Rather, two days before the scheduled conference, Defendants’ counsel filed 

a unilateral statement indicating that Plaintiff’s counsel had failed to cooperate in preparing the joint 

statement. (Doc. 56)

Now, counsel have filed a joint statement requesting to continue the further scheduling 

conference to a date beyond May 15, 2015 due to the illness of Plaintiff’s counsel’s daughter. (Doc. 

57) Defendants’ counsel indicated in his unilateral report that he was unavailable at the time selected 

by the Court for the conference. (Doc. 56 at 3)

 Therefore, the Court will GRANT the stipulation as follows:

MIKE E. BARBA, et al.,

 Plaintiffs,

v.

CITY OF SHAFTER, et al.

Defendants.
