UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

NICHOLAS JACKALONE and

LUCIA JACKALONE, 

 

 Plaintiffs, 

 vs. 

CITY OF FREMONT, a municipal corporation; 

CRAIG STECKLER in his official capacity as 

Chief of Police for the City of Fremont; NICK 

MAURER, individually and in his official 

capacity as a Police Officer for the City of 

Fremont; DOES 1-25, inclusive. 

 Defendants. 

 

 Case No. C09-02956 

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO EXTEND DEADLINE FOR 

COMPLETION OF EARLY NEUTRAL 

EVALUATION 

 

 The Parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby respectfully request the Court 

extend the deadline by which the parties must participate in and complete Early Neutral Evaluation. 

 This is a case in which plaintiffs allege they were physically assaulted by defendant NICK 

MAURER in a BART station. MAURER was off duty from his employment as a police officer for 

the defendant CITY OF FREMONT. Good cause for the extension is because one of the named 

Defendants, Nick Maurer, has recently been personally served and his appearance is expected by 

approximately April 9th. The Court had granted an order for publication but given that personal

service on MAURER has been accomplished the parties are now prepared to move the case forward. 

 The parties met and conferred during the ADR conference call with the ENE Evaluator 

Anthony Boskovich and it was agreed that given the fact Defendant Maurer had a principal role in the 

incident that gives rise to plaintiffs’ action, he must be present in order for the parties to have a 

meaningful and productive Early Neutral Evaluation session which may result in a mediated 

resolution of the case. The parties and the ENE Evaluator have therefore agreed on Friday May 

28, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. as the date and time for the ENE. 

 The parties have also agreed to the following limited discovery. Depositions of the two 

plaintiffs on the liability issues will take place on May 6, 2010. A deposition of an important eye 

witness who was a BART station attendant will take place on May 5, 2010. 

 Following the depositions and ENE, and if the case does not settle, the parties respectfully 

request a status conference to discuss the case including, discovery, trial and a schedule for a motion 

for summary judgment by the defendant CITY OF FREMONT. 

 In light of the foregoing, the parties respectfully request the Court extend the deadline by 

which the parties must have completed ENE until June 4, 2010. 

 Respectfully submitted,
