STIP AND PROPOSED ORDER RE DEADLINES TO FILE 

DISPOSITIVE MOTION BRIEFS AND HEARING DATE Case No. 2:12-CV-02778-JAM-CKD 2 

WHEREAS, the court issued a scheduling order (“order”) on or about May 16, 2013 (Doc. 

30); and 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the order, all dispositive motions shall be filed by October 22, 2014 

and hearing on such motions shall be on November 19, 2014 at 9:30 a.m.; and 

WHEREAS, on May 24, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation to modify the time limits to file 

an opposition and reply brief to any motions for summary judgment (Doc 32); and 

WHEREAS, the May 24, 2013 stipulation provided that “Plaintiff would have four weeks 

(28 days) to file an opposition brief to a motion for summary judgment, instead of fourteen (14) days 

as provided by Local Rule 230(c)”; and 

WHEREAS, the May 24, 2013 stipulation provided that “the parties agreed Defendants 

would have fourteen (14) days to file a reply brief to any opposition to a motion for summary 

judgment, instead of seven (7) days as provided by Local Rule 230(d)”; and 

WHEREAS, on or about May 28, 2013, the court approved the May 24, 2013 stipulation 

between the parties to modify the time limits to file an opposition and reply brief to any motions for 

summary judgment as described above (Doc. 33); and 

WHEREAS, on June 20, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation and order to continue the 

deadline to complete all discovery, but did not request any changes to the deadlines to file 

dispositive motions (October 22, 2014) or the date for hearing on such motions (November 19, 

2014) (Doc. 56); and 

 WHEREAS, on June 23, 2014, the court approved the parties’ stipulation as filed on June 20, 

2014 (Doc. 57); and 

 WHEREAS, the parties desire to abide by their prior stipulation regarding the time limits to 

file opposition and reply briefs to dispositive motions (Doc. 33); and 

WHEREAS, the parties recently realized that if Defendants file a dispositive motion on or 

about the last day to file such motion, October 22, 2014, it is not feasible to have a hearing on such 

dispositive motion by November 19, 2014; and

Defendants, through their respective attorneys of record, that this court continue the hearing on 

dispositive motions from November 19, 2014 to Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at 9:30 a.m., or a
