Conference Date: August 18, 2006 

Time: 1:30 p.m.

 San Francisco, CA 

Honorable Jeffrey S. White 

 The parties hereby submit the following Joint Case Management Case Statement and 

Proposed Order and request the Court to adopt it as its Amended Case Management Order in this 

case. 

 Plaintiff McDermott brings suit contending defendant Sgt. Delgado of the Fremont Police 

Department used unreasonable force when he shot plaintiff once during an altercation in a parking 

lot in Fremont, California on October 3, 2003. Plaintiff pled guilty to some charges arising from the 

incident but they apparently did not involve Sgt. Delgado. Following dismissal of all of the charges 

related to Sgt. Delgado plaintiff brought suit in the Alameda County Superior Court alleging 

violations of his federal civil rights and related state torts. The City removed the case to federal court

and all defendants filed their answer. 

 The Court held the initial Case Management Conference on Friday, April 28, 2006 and 

following the CMC issued its Order setting a trial date for April 9, 2007, requiring completion of 

ENE by August 31, 2006 and setting other time limits on discovery. The parties have completed their 

initial disclosures. The parties had agreed that conducting ENE before incurring the expense of 

formal discovery and related pre-trial motion work was the most prudent way to proceed given the 

facts and circumstances of the case and the plaintiff’s limited special damages. 

 ENE evaluator Wendy Rouder was assigned to conduct the ENE session and the parties 

conducted their initial scheduling conference call on June 26, 2006. All parties agreed that the ENE 

would be conducted on August 29, 2006 with all named parties appearing in person as required by 

the applicable court rules. 

 Plaintiff’s counsel was recently notified that his client, the plaintiff Jason McDermott, has 

been incarcerated at the end of July for a parole violation with a sentence of approximately 7 months. 

It’s estimated that with good time and other credits he may be released sooner but that is speculative 

at the present time. Obviously he will not be available to attend the ENE session or otherwise 

participate in formal discovery until he is released from custody. 

 The parties have notified the ENE evaluator of this development and she has cancelled the 

conference room at the federal building that had been reserved for the August 29, 2006 ENE session 

and further advised the parties that she agrees a court order will be necessary to allow ENE to 

continue past the cut-off date of August 31, 2006. 

 The parties, acting by and through their respective counsel respectfully request the Court to 

amend its Scheduling Order and continue the time for completion of ENE evaluation, trial date and 

all other related pre-trial discovery and motion time limits until plaintiff is released from custody and 

is available to personally attend the ENE and formal discovery. The parties therefore respectfully 

request a continuance of seven months to each and all of the existing ENE, trial and pre-trial dates 

Ordered by the Court.
