JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING ORDER

TO THE HONORABLE COURT:

 This stipulation is entered into by and between plaintiffs, AARON JAMES 

ABBIE and DEBRA GORDEN (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), defendants, SHASTA 

COUNTY, SHASTA COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, TOM BOSENKO, 

DAVE KENT, ROBERT VAN GERWEN, JUSTAN VORHIS and KIRK 

SCHRITTER (collectively, “County” or “County Defendants”), defendants, 

WELLPATH, INC., WELLPATH MANAGEMENT, INC., and WELLPATH, LLC 

(collectively, “Wellpath Defendants”), and defendants CALIFORNIA FORENSIC 

MEDICAL GROUP, INC. (“CFMG”), KERI RUBALCAVA, R.N., DANIEL 

DELLWO, P.A.; JAMIE REBELLO, L.V.N. (collectively, “CFMG Defendants”), to 

modify the operative Scheduling Order [Doc. 86] by continuing the discovery cut-off 

deadline, expert deadlines, and MSJ Hearing deadline with the Court’s permission. 

There are compelling reasons for this request by the parties herein:

1. On May 18, 2023, the CFMG Defendants filed an Answer to Plaintiffs’ 

Fourth Amended Complaint, the CFMG’s first appearance in this case. [Doc. 78.] 

2. Plaintiffs seek to take additional depositions; however, the coordination 

of counsels’ calendars with available dates for such depositions, plus the availability 

of the witnesses themselves, requires a longer time frame than permitted by the 

current Scheduling Order [Doc. 86], as detailed below.

3. The Parties request a continuance of the non-expert discovery deadline,

the expert deadlines, and a continuance of the MSJ Hearing Deadline. The Parties do 

not seek to reschedule the Settlement Conference.

4. The Court has previously approved seven requests to continue the 

scheduling order deadlines in this matter. This stipulation has been made in good 

faith by the parties’ counsel who believe the length of the continuance requested is 

reasonable to permit all parties to conduct meaningful discovery. The continuance is 

not sought for delay; rather, it is necessary to enable the parties to conduct additional 

meaningful discovery.

JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY THE SCHEDULING ORDER

5. The parties, through their counsel of record, have met and conferred in 

order to reach an agreement as to modification of the scheduling order, and have 

agreed to the dates proposed below based on all parties’ availability, as well as the

time reasonably required to finish discovery, retain experts, file motions, and prepare 

for trial. 

6. No trial date has been set in this matter. 

WHEREAS, for good cause and pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4), the 

parties in this case submit for the court’s consideration the following:

WHEREAS, Pursuant to Local Rule 131(e), I, Dominique L. Boubion, attest 

that Lynn L. Carpenter, Paul A. Cardinale and Jerome M. Varanini concur with the 

content of this stipulation and have authorized the filing of the same.
