STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

RE REQUEST TO EXTEND TIME -1- 2:08-CV-01028-GEB-AC 

81013885.1 0099820-08060 

The current deadline for the parties to file their joint status report is January 18, 2016. 

(Docket No. 229).1

 

The deadline for the parties to file their joint status report has been extended by stipulation 

and order previously, mainly because Plaintiff’s recently appointed pro bono counsel received the 

case file the day before the Thanksgiving holiday and counsel has needed time, particularly with 

ensuing holidays, to: meet and confer with Plaintiff who is incarcerated, and review the 

voluminous file, pleadings and court docket in this case that has been pending since 2008. 

Plaintiff’s pro bono counsel has worked diligently to complete his review, has met and conferred 

telephonically with Plaintiff numerous times, met and conferred with opposing counsel 

telephonically, and, this week, completed his review and assessment of the case and file pursuant 

to the Court’s Order Appointing Pro Bono Counsel, dated November 4, 2015. (Docket No. 225). 

Although the file has been reviewed, Plaintiff’s pro bono counsel has not had an 

opportunity to discuss with Plaintiff (who is incarcerated in San Diego County) the outcome of 

counsel’s review and recommendations for next steps. Plaintiff’s pro bono counsel has arranged 

to speak with Plaintiff, who has limited access to telephones, during the week of January 18, 2016 

to discuss the case and counsel’s assessment of the file. Plaintiff’s pro bono counsel, however, 

understands that it is only proper for him to discuss Plaintiff’s case with Plaintiff before counsel 

discusses the same with the Court and opposing counsel. 

 For these reasons, the parties have stipulated to and request a short extension to February 

3, 2016, to ensure that Plaintiff’s pro bono counsel has adequate opportunity to discuss the case 

with his client the week of January 18, 2016, and then file their joint status report. No trial date 

has been set in this case. 

 

1

 At the time they prepared and submitted their last Stipulation extending the joint status report deadline to January 

18, 2016, the parties neglected to appreciate that Monday, January 18, 2016 is a federal and office holiday.
