Counsel for Plaintiff, Sahleem Tindle et al.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

SAHLEEM TINDLE, et al.,

Plaintiffs, v.

CITY OF DALY CITY, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 13-cv-02449-HSG (DMR)

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

EXTEND FACT DISCOVERY

The parties believe it would be beneficial to extend fact discovery so that the parties can 

schedule the remaining depositions. The parties believe the following facts establish good cause 

for the length of the proposed extensions.

1. The parties filed a Joint Discovery Letter Brief (D.I. 98) with the Court on August 

13, 2015 requesting adjudication of a discovery dispute concerning production of sensitive 

documents within the possession, custody, and control of the Defendants.

2. The discovery dispute was referred to Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu, who 

scheduled a Motion Hearing on August 27, 2015 (D.I. 100).

3. Judge Ryu issued an order granting Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel subject to the 

entry of a stipulated protective order (D.I. 104) on September 15, 2015.

4. The parties worked diligently on a protective order, which was filed with the Court

on October 1, 2015.

5. Defendants have not yet produced the materials ordered by Judge Ryu on 

September 15 because the order conditioned production on entry of the protective order.

Plaintiffs have therefore had no opportunity to review those documents, and desire the 

opportunity to review those documents in advance of the depositions of Defendants Hart and 

Busalacchi. The parties believe the two month extension would give adequate time for 

Defendants to produce the ordered materials, for Plaintiffs to review them, and for the parties to 

schedule and execute the subsequent depositions.

6. In addition, Defendants have been seeking the deposition of all Plaintiffs in this 

action since June of 2015. Despite the parties’ best efforts, scheduling conflicts have kept 

Defendants from securing deposition dates. Currently, the first available dates for deposition of 

Plaintiffs are October 19, 2015, which is beyond the present discovery cut-off. 

The parties hereby agree, subject to the Court’s approval, that the Order Setting Case 

Schedule entered on March 18, 2015 (D.I. 86) and the Scheduling Order entered on August 6, 

2015 (D.I. 97) is further amended as follows:

1. The deadline for all fact discovery is extended until or before December 9, 2015.

2. The deadline for the last day to add new parties to the complaint is extended until 

or before December 23, 2015.

3. The deadline for expert designations in this case is extended until or before 

January 6, 2016.

4. The deadline for the close of expert discovery in this case is extended until or 

before March 8, 2016.

5. The deadline for the last day to file dispositive motions in this case is extended 

until or before April 5, 2016.

6. The deadline for the pretrial conference in this case is extended until or before 

June 27, 2016.

7. The deadline for trial in this case is extended until or before July 11, 2016.
