IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ROBERT GOH, M.D.,

Plaintiff,

v.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF 

VETERANS AFFAIRS and THE UNITED 

STATES AIR FORCE.

Defendants

CASE NO. 1:14-cv-00315-LJO-SKO

STUIPULATION FOR EXTENSION OF 

TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT 

AND TO CONTINUE MANDATORY 

SCHEDULING CONFERENCE;

ORDER THEREON

Plaintiff served his Complaint in this matter on April 9, 2014. Pursuant to Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 4(i), the United States’ responsive pleading is due on June 9, 2014. The parties have 

identified the potential for settlement, and hope to pursue that course of action. Therefore, Plaintiff 

and Defendant, by and through their respective counsel, and pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), hereby 

stipulate and agree that Defendant shall have an extension of 21 days, up to and including June 30, 

2014, within which to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint [Dkt. No. 1].

In light of this potential for resolution, the potential for an amended complaint, and the fact 

that Defendant will likely file a Rule 12 motion if the case does not resolve or if the Complaint is not 

amended, the parties also agree to continue the mandatory scheduling conference, currently set for 

June 17, 2014, to August 19, 2014. This should give the parties time to either resolve the case, or to 

have the anticipated Rule 12 motions heard and decided, thus permitting a more meaningful Joint 

Status Report from the parties, and scheduling conference with the Court.
