Plaintiff Shawn L. Williams (“Plaintiff”), Defendant City and County of San Francisco (“City” 

or “Defendant”) and Defendants Service Employees International Union, Local 1021 (“SEIU”), 

Jonathan Wright (“Wright”) and George Diaz (“Wright”) hereby submit a stipulation and proposed 

order. The parties stipulate to the following: 

1. The parties jointly request that the Court lift any existing limitations on discovery; 

2. All parties jointly request that the pre-trial and trial dates be extended by approximately 

three (3) months, as set forth in the proposed order. 

The parties respectfully submit that there is good cause to make these two requests. With 

regard to the first request, this Court limited the amount of discovery the parties could conduct prior to 

the mediation. The parties engaged in mediation on or about July 13, 2010, before the court-appointed 

mediator Alan R. Berkowitz. The mediation did not result in a settlement agreement. The parties now 

wish to proceed with discovery. 

With regard to the second request, the parties are cognizant that the close of non-expert 

discovery is this Friday, August 13, 2010. Prior to the mediation, Defendants took only the partial 

deposition of Plaintiff. Defendant City took a partial deposition of Plaintiff on March 23, and April 1, 

2010. On April 5, 2010, Defendants SEIU, Wright and Diaz took a partial deposition of Plaintiff. The 

parties agreed to continue Plaintiff’s deposition after the mediation, in the event that the case did not 

settle. The Defendants now require additional time to complete Plaintiff’s deposition. Additionally, 

all parties require additional time to complete discovery. 

Defendants anticipate taking the depositions of any relevant experts disclosed by Plaintiff. 

Defendants also plan to subpoena records from third parties, including the EEOC and DFEH. 

Defendants may subpoena documents from additional third parties, if necessary, as discovery proceeds 

in this case. Defendants anticipate depositions of possible third party witnesses identified in Plaintiff’s 

deposition. 

Plaintiff anticipates taking the depositions of some of Defendants’ witnesses identified in 

initial disclosures.
