Stipulation and Order Setting Briefing Schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Case No. 3:20-cv-893-RS)

STIPULATION 

WHEREAS, Defendants filed their motion to dismiss (ECF 17) on April 23, 2020, and this 

Court granted (ECF 21) the parties’ stipulated briefing schedule on that motion on April 30, 2020, 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed its motion for a preliminary injunction (ECF 24) on May 26, 2020. 

WHEREAS, Defendants’ lead counsel, Michael Dorsi, has another matter that will occupy 

much of his time during the month of June, and Defendants therefore request that their opposition 

to the preliminary-injunction motion be due on July 16, 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff’s motion argues that Plaintiff faces an ongoing threat of enforcement 

from the State of California for engaging in truthful speech and that Plaintiff is suffering and will 

suffer irreparable harm as a result, 

WHEREAS, to facilitate an orderly briefing schedule and afford this Court adequate time to 

decide Plaintiff’s motion, Plaintiff is willing to agree to the requested extension on the condition 

that Defendants refrain from taking enforcement action against Plaintiff while the motion for 

preliminary injunction is pending and Defendants have agreed to this condition, 

THE PARTIES STIPULATE TO AND JOINTLY REQUEST THE COURT ORDER 

the following schedule for briefing the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction: 

Defendants’ Opposition Due: July 16, 2020 

Plaintiffs’ Reply Due: July 30, 2020

Hearing Date: August 13, 2020

Stipulation and Order Setting Briefing Schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Case No. 3:20-cv-893-RS)

ORDER 

Plaintiff Miyoko’s Kitchen and Defendants Karen Ross, in her official capacity as Secretary 

of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and Stephen Beam, in his official capacity 

as Branch Chief of the Milk and Dairy Food Safety Branch, stipulated to a briefing schedule for 

Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction (ECF No. 24) in light of Defendants’ agreement to 

refrain from enforcement while the motion is pending. The parties attest that they prefer this 

schedule and that the schedule preserves the two-week period between the deadline for the reply 

brief and the hearing date. Accordingly, the Court finds good cause and adopts the proposed 

schedule for briefing on Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction under Northern District of 

California Local Rule 6-1(b): 

Plaintiff’s Response Due: July 16, 2020 

Defendants’ Reply Due: July 30, 2020 

 Hearing Date: August 13, 2020 

IT IS SO ORDERED

Dated: June ___, 2020
