Plaintiffs and Defendants, by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree 

as follows:

1. The parties have worked diligently to complete discovery, including voluminous 

depositions of the parties and percipient witnesses;

2. The parties are meeting and conferring to address and resolve multiple issues that 

could reduce the scope of issues to be tried, including:

A. Plaintiff’ potential motion for partial summary judgment re City of Fresno 

policies and practices under Monell in conducting clean-ups of homeless 

encampments; and 

B. Defendants’ potential motion for partial summary judgment re Plaintiffs’ 

substantive due process and equal protection claims, as well as causes of 

action under California Civil Rule Section 52.1, and for Intentional Infliction 

of Emotional Distress and the Individual Defendants’ defense of qualified 

immunity.

3. The parties have exchanged written meet and confer correspondence, proposed 

factual stipulations and prepared undisputed facts, and are in the process of analyzing and 

responding to those exchanges. The parties are also meeting and conferring to attempt to streamline

the summary judgment process to avoid the need to file over thirty (30) separate dispositive 

motions.

Based upon the foregoing, and for good cause appearing, the parties stipulate and agree to 

extend the dispositive motion cut-off, as set forth in this Court’s Amended Scheduling Order, from 

December 31, 2013 to January 31, 2014.
