STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING CERTAIN DEADLINES IN SCHEDULING ORDER 

Decree issued in the federal ADA class action in Eastern District of California entitled Kemper, et 

al. v. Catholic Healthcare West (Defendant’s former name), Case No. 2:06-cv-00295, the Parties 

anticipate they will be unable to complete the joint inspection by the currently-scheduled August 

18, 2016 deadline. As such, the Parties seek an extension of that deadline, along with the 

accompanying deadline for completing initial disclosures, by twenty (20) days. Accordingly, a 

20-day extension of the date for joint inspection, along with the deadline for initial disclosures, 

will ensure the Parties are able to meet and confer about the scope and schedule of the inspection 

in light of the Consent Decree in place under the Kemper case. 

In particular, the Parties hereby request that the Court extend certain dates and deadlines 

contained in the Scheduling Order by twenty (20) days as follows: 

 The last day for the Parties to hold joint inspection of premises: September 7, 2016. 

 All related deadlines to follow the September 7, 2016 deadline. 

SO STIPULATED.

STIPULATED REQUEST FOR ORDER CHANGING CERTAIN DEADLINES IN SCHEDULING ORDER

1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of California and am attorney 

for Defendants DIGNITY HEALTH dba ST. MARY’S MEDICAL CENTER and DIGNITY 

HEALTH FOUNDATION in the above-referenced action. 

2. I make this declaration in support of the Parties’ Stipulated Request for Order 

Changing Certain Deadlines in the Scheduling Order. 

3. I am currently out of the country on a vacation with my family and I will not return 

to the office until August 15, 2016. Given that the deadline for conducting the inspection is 

currently set at August, 18, 2016, the Parties need more time to meet and confer with respect to 

the scope and details of the joint inspection. 

4. The Parties also need additional time to meet and confer regarding the scope of the 

joint inspection, given the planned remediation scheduled to take place pursuant to the Consent 

Decree in the Kemper case. Plaintiff disagrees that the Kemper case has any effect and the Parties 

intend to meet and confer regarding this disagreement. 

5. The Parties agree that no further alterations will be completed to the relevant 

premises at issue in this matter for a period of thirty (30) days from the filing of this joint request. 

6. The Parties have not previously requested any extensions of deadlines in this case. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the 

foregoing is true and correct.
