All parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to amend the 

caption, and the Pretrial Scheduling Order, as follows:

This Court dismissed Defendants Tulare County and Corizon Health, Inc., and their 

employees from this action. (Doc. 61). The parties therefore stipulate and agree to amend the 

caption to provide for the correct listing of remaining Defendants in this matter, as set forth on the 

caption of this stipulation.

Further, the parties have agreed to an early mediation with the Honorable Raul A. Ramirez 

(Ret.), based only on the exchange of voluminous paper discovery, before conducting depositions. 

The only mediation date that worked with the calendars of the parties, counsel, and Judge Ramirez, 

was January 12, 2016. Trial in this matter is scheduled to begin March 13, 2017, more than a year 

from now. To accommodate the mediation, the parties propose amending the Pretrial Scheduling 

Order. This proposed amendment would not impact the trial or pretrial conference dates.

The current fact discovery cutoff is March 14, 2016. To conserve the time and resources of 

the parties, and limit attorneys' fees and costs incurred by all parties, the parties jointly request that 

the Pretrial Scheduling Order (Doc. 64) be amended as follows:

EVENT CURRENT DATE PROPOSED NEW DATE

Fact discovery cutoff March 14, 2016 August 1, 2016

Expert disclosures May 13, 2016 August 15, 2016

Rebuttal expert disclosures June 2, 2016 August 29, 2016
