EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

BRADLEY MEDINA and SVETLANA 

KRIVENCHEVA,

 Plaintiffs,

 v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and 

COURTNEY L. MAPES, M.D.,

 Defendants.

No. 1:21-CV-00844-NONE-EPG

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO VACATE 

AND RESET SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

The parties request that the Court vacate the scheduling conference set for November 2, 2021 at 

10:00 a.m. and reset to a date after the Court resolves the United States’ motion to dismiss. On 

September 1, 2021, the United States was served with Plaintiffs’ complaint. The United States’ 

responsive pleading is therefore due on November 1, 2021. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(2). Currently, a 

scheduling conference is set for November 2, 2021. ECF No. 7. However, in lieu of filing an answer, 

the United States intends to file a motion to dismiss the claims alleged against the United States pursuant 

to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b), good 

cause exists to vacate the scheduling conference because, if granted, the United States would no longer 

be a party to this action.
