Case No.: 2:07-cv-02406-WBS-EFB

JOINT STATUS CONFERENCE

STATEMENT STIPULATION AND

[PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING THE

STATUS (PRETRIAL SCHEDULING)

CONFERENCE 

Date: January 14, 2008

Time: 2:00 p.m.

Dept: 5

Judge: Honorable William B. Shubb

Plaintiffs Jaymes Butler et al. (hereinafter “Plaintiffs”) and Defendant City of Sacramento

(hereinafter “Defendant”) through their respective counsel, respectfully submit the following stipulation

and request:

1. The Plaintiffs filed their original complaint in this matter on November 8, 2007. The

Plaintiffs filed a First Amended Complaint on November 11, 2007. Other than as referenced below, no

previous time modifications in this case were requested or granted.

2. The Parties request that this Court continue the Initial Status Conference, presently

scheduled for January 14, 2007 and continue the deadline to submit the Joint Status Report,

Stipulation to Continue Case Management Conference Butler, etl al v. City of Sacramento 2

by thirty (30) days pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6(a). The continuance is requested

because the parties are attempting to resolve a range of procedural and substantive issues prior to the

Initial Status Conference. On or about December 26, 2007, the Parties entered into a stipulation

extending time for Defendants to file an Answer to Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint by 30 days.

Prior to the Complaint being filed in this case, the parties engaged in extensive settlement negotiations.

The parties are considering attending mediation in the near future, which may occur prior to date

proposed for the Initial Case Management Conference. The scope of the issues to be resolved and

discovery needed in this case may be substantially affected by Defendant’s Answer and the outcome

of any mediation session between the parties.

3. Good cause exists to grant the continuance because it would save the parties and the

Court resources and time if the parties can resolve the foregoing issues informally. In addition, the

Parties believe that the Initial Status Conference and Rule 26(f) discovery plan would be more

productive once Defendant’s Answer is received and any issues which may be resolved at mediation

are obviated. Continuance is also appropriate because it will have only a minimal effect on the

scheduling of this case. 

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
