The parties have previously requested continuances on two separate occasions due to 

plaintiff Connie L. Brown's need for two neurosurgeries to remove tumors. The parties also 

requested a continuance because the schedule for Ms. Brown's follow-up treatment plan was 

delayed for several months. The parties now seek a continuance for the following reasons: 

First, the Deputy City Attorney assigned to represent the City and County of San 

Francisco in this case, Terence Howzell, recently changed positions and the case has been reassigned to Deputy City Attorney Ruth M. Bond. Due to the nature and complexity of this case, 

Ms. Bond requires some time to familiarize herself with the facts and the record so that she may 

prepare for, take and complete depositions, address the other outstanding discovery issues in this 

case and prepare any dispositive motions. Currently there are no other available attorneys in 

defense counsel's office who are sufficiently familiar with either the Armstrong action (C01-

2611 VRW) or the Brown action (C04-1536 VRW) to meet existing deadlines. 

Second, Plaintiff continues to undergo a treatment plan for her neurosurgeries and 

requires additional time to complete her recovery so that she may give her undivided attention to 

her case. Given plaintiff's treatment plan, as well as plaintiff's counsel's scheduling constraints 

the parties jointly and respectfully request a further continuance. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto, through their 

respective counsel as undersigned, that: 

1. The non-expert discovery completion date be continued from the current deadline 

of February 19, 2007 to June 26, 2007; 

2. The filing deadline for dispositive motions, including summary judgment, be 

continued from the current deadline of February 22, 2007 to June 29, 2007; 

3. Hearing on the dispositive motions be continued from the currently scheduled 

date of March 29, 2007 to August 2, 2007; 

4. Expert discovery disclosure reports be continued from the currently scheduled 

date of March 13, 2007 to July 27, 2007. 

5. Expert discovery rebuttal completion date be continued from the currently 

scheduled date of April 13, 2007 to August 27, 2007.
