COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, CITY OF RANCHO CORDOVA, NATHAN DANIEL, JOSEPH 

ZALEC, AND DEREK HUTCHINS, (collectively “Defendants”), by and through their (“Parties”) 

counsel of record, hereby stipulate and request that the Court continue the discovery deadline for 30 days 

for the limited purpose of completing the defendant deputies’ depositions and 90 days for the limited 

purpose of facilitating the production of records pursuant to the Court’s January 6, 2023 Order [Dkt. Nos.

43 & 48]. The Parties further request the extension of the other pre-trial deadlines in this matter. Good 

cause exists for the requested continuance pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 16(d) based 

upon the following: 

 1. On July 15, 2021, this Court consolidated the above-referenced cases with respect to 

discovery only. 

 2. On October 5, 2021, in Case No. 2:20-cv-00598-TLN-KJN, this Court issued an Amended 

Pre-Trial Scheduling Order setting forth all pre-trial deadlines. The Court entered the same Order on 

October 26, 2021 in Case No. 2:19-cv-02345-TLN-KJN. 

3. On April 6, 2022, this Court granted the Parties’ joint stipulation to extend the pre-trial 

deadlines, which extended the fact discovery deadline to January 12, 2023. 

 4. On January 4, 5, and 6, 2023, Plaintiffs began deposing Deputies Daniel, Zalec, and 

Hutchins. Those depositions, however, did not conclude. The Parties agreed to continue the Deputies’ 

depositions until the end of January. The Parties request a 30-day extension of the discovery deadline for 

the limited purpose of completing the Deputies’ depositions. 

5. Furthermore, on January 6, 2023, Magistrate Kendall Newman granted in part Defendant 

City of Rancho Cordova’s Motion to Compel and ordered Plaintiffs to produce additional financial records 

within 30 days. [Dkt. Nos. 43 in 2:19-cv-02345-TLN-KJN and 48 in 2:20-cv-00598-TLN-KJN]. 

6. The Parties also seek an extension of the pre-trial deadlines of 90 days for the limited 

purpose of facilitating the production of documents consistent with Judge Newman’s order and for the 

Parties to resolve any disputes related to said production. 

7. Because the Parties anticipate sending the financial records and deposition transcripts to 

experts in this matter, the Parties request that expert disclosure dates and dispositive motions also be 

extended. 

 8. The Parties also agree to extend discovery for the limited purpose of having Plaintiffs’ 

expert examine the physical camera that was in Deputy Daniel’s vehicle on the night of the incident and 

subsequently removed. The Parties request a 90-day extension of the discovery deadline for the limited 

purpose of arranging for Plaintiffs’ expert to examine the physical camera at Defense Counsel’s office. 

 9. The Parties, through their respective undersigned counsel, agree and hereby do stipulate to
