WHEREAS, on November 25, 2019, Plaintiffs James Dahlin, Kimberly Dahlin, Toby 

Tippets and Martina Tippets (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) filed their Second Amended

Complaint (“SAC”) in the above-captioned matter in the United States District Court, Eastern 

District of California, against Defendants Rosemary Frieborn, Curt Ransom, Marilyn Jasper, 

Cassie Reeves, Katie Newman, Sherry Couzens, Michael Crosson, Shana Laursen, the Humane 

Society of the Sierra Foothills, Inc., Friends of Auburn/Tahoe Vista-Placer County Animal 

Shelter, Inc., Friends of Placer County Animal Shelter, Friends of Auburn/Tahoe Vista Placer 

County Animal Shelter, and Edward Fritz (collectively, the “Non-Municipal Defendants”), City 

of Auburn, Auburn Police Department, Officer Debbie Nelson, Officer Phillip Isetta, Officer 

Angela McCollough, and Sergeant Tucker Huey (collectively, the “Municipal Defendants”), and 

Thomas Sheriff;

WHEREAS, the current deadline for all Defendants to respond to Plaintiffs’ SAC is 14 

days after service of the SAC, i.e., on December 9, 2019 (see Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(3));

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ SAC (78 pages and 240 numbered paragraphs) is more than twice 

as long as their previously-filed First Amended Complaint (37 pages and 194 numbered 

paragraphs) (see Doc. 37 & Doc. 103);

WHEREAS, in light of the length of the SAC as well as holiday-related scheduling 

difficulties, all Defendants require additional time within which to investigate and adequately 

respond to Plaintiffs’ SAC; and

WHEREAS, the Plaintiffs, Non-Municipal Defendants, Municipal Defendants, and 

Thomas Sheriff agree that the interests of efficiency and justice will be promoted if all presentlyserved Defendants file their responses to the SAC at the same time;

NOW, THEREFORE, PURSUANT TO EASTERN DISTRICT LOCAL RULE 144(A), 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between counsel for the Plaintiffs, the 

Non-Municipal Defendants, Municipal Defendants, and Thomas Sheriff that the deadline for all 

Defendants to file their answer or other response to Plaintiffs’ SAC is extended to December 31, 

2019.
