1:12-CV-00558-AWI-GSA

TO ALL PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD AND TO 

THIS HONORABLE COURT, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT Plaintiffs

hereby request a continuance of the October 10, 2014 deadline to file a stipulated 

dismissal or request for relief from stay (Dkt. 123). This request is based on the 

following statement of GOOD CAUSE:

The parties filed a notice of conditional settlement and request for stay on 

August 8, 2014 (Dkt. # 122). 

This Court’s August 8, 2014 Order granting the parties’ request for stay was 

entered on August 11, 2014 (Dkt. # 123), requesting that the parties file a stipulated 

dismissal or request to lift the stay within 30 days of that order.

Thereafter, the conditional settlement was approved by the County of Fresno. 

Counsel for Plaintiffs has been working with Plaintiffs and an annuity 

company to finalize a petition for minors’ compromise, which Plaintiffs anticipated 

filing by September 10, 2014. However, the guardian ad litems for the minor 

Plaintiffs are in still in the process of deciding on an annuity proposal for each 

minor. At present, Plaintiffs require additional time to file and for the court to rule 

on the petition for minors’ compromise, for the parties to thereafter finalize 

settlement and release agreements between all four Plaintiffs and the two different 

entity defendants, and for the municipalities to then process the settlement drafts –

all of which will need to be completed before filing any stipulated dismissal. 

For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs respectfully request an order continuing 

the deadline to file a stipulated dismissal for 60 days weeks, or until December 9, 

2014.

Plaintiffs do not anticipate the need to request any further continuances.

Plaintiffs met and conferred with counsel for all Defendants, and Defendants 

do not oppose this request.
