Case No.: CIV-S-03-2342 FCD/DAD 

STIPULATION AND REQUEST FOR AN 

ORDER MODIFYING PRE-TRIAL 

ORDER 

 

 

WHEREAS the instant lawsuit arises out of the Plaintiff’s employment with the Yolo 

County Sheriff’s Department; 

WHEREAS Ms. Lancaster filed an appeal regarding the decision to terminate her 

employment and a hearing, before Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) Joe H. Henderson, was 

held on March 8 and 15, 2006 and concluded on April 7, 2006; 

WHEREAS a stay was issued pending resolution of the administrative matter, and said 

stay was lifted, thereby causing to be filed an Amended Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order filed 

on November 15, 2006, though requiring experts to be disclosed in May 2006; 

WHEREAS the parties agree that the appropriate dates for expert witness disclosures

should be March 5, 2007 for simultaneous disclosure of regular expert witnesses and reports, and 

regular expert depositions to be conducted by March 23, 2007, and March 26, 2007 for 

designation of rebuttal experts, with all rebuttal expert depositions to be conducted by April 15, 

2007, and; 

WHEREAS the parties agree that remaining depositions have to be coordinated around 

one very sick witness employed by the County of Yolo, and two currently employed witnesses, 

and that in the spirit of coordinating their depositions, time has come close to discovery cut-off. 

Hence, the following depositions are to take place as follows for the benefit of the deposed 

witnesses/parties on February 8, 2007 (or a time otherwise so agreed upon for the convenience of 

the parties): 9:30 a.m. Julie Medina; 11:00 a.m. Renee Lancaster; and 1:30 Robin Faille. It is 

further agreed that a stipulation on the record will take place with a wage schedule between 

Deputy and Sergeant so that the person most knowledgeable does not have to appear as a 

witness, and that the spreadsheet prepared by the County of Yolo witness will be authenticated as 

true and accurate for admissibility purposes; 

WHEREAS the parties agree to handle all further discovery disputes via telephone 

conference call with the Magistrate Judge (as he offered on the record) and that his orders on the 

record at a deposition are binding, as this has been the past practice in discovery thus far. 

THEREFORE, THE PARTIES, THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, 

HEREBY STIPULATE THAT: 

1. The interests of justice and the costs and burden, not only to the Parties but to the 

Court, associated with the discovery of issues that will be expedited, the parties agree that 

remaining depositions are to take place on or about February 8, 2007 (or a time otherwise so 

agreed upon for the convenience of the parties): 9:30 a.m. Julie Medina; 11:00 a.m. Renee 

Lancaster; and 1:30 Robin Faille. If for some reason one or all the witnesses are not available, 

discovery cut-off shall not apply to these three witnesses. It is further agreed that a stipulation on 

the record will take place with a wage schedule prepared by the County of Yolo between Deputy 

and Sergeant so that the person most knowledgeable does not have to appear as a witness, and 

that the spreadsheet prepared by the County of Yolo witness will be authenticated on the record

as true and accurate for admissibility purposes; all further discovery disputes shall be handled via 

telephone conference call with the Magistrate Judge and that his orders on the record are binding, 

as this has been the past practice in discovery thus far and per the Magistrate Judge’s offer to 

resolve discovery disputes in this manner. 

 2. The parties agree modification of the Amended Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order 

whereas expert witness disclosures shall be March 5, 2007 for simultaneous disclosure of regular 

expert witness and reports, and regular expert depositions to be conducted by March 23, 2007, 

and March 26, 2007 for designation of rebuttal experts, with all rebuttal expert depositions to be 

conducted by April 15, 2007. 

 3. The time remaining for all other law and motion, and other pre-trial matters shall 

remain the same.
