ALL PARTIES, THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL OF RECORD, HEREBY 

STIPULATE, AND REQUEST THIS COURT TO ORDER, THAT the Order Requiring Joint 

Status Report be modified as follows:

On March 26, 2014, Plaintiffs filed their Complaint in the above-captioned action (Doc. No. 

1). Defendant CITY OF VACAVILLE was served with the Complaint, Summons, Civil Cover 

Sheet and Order Requiring Joint Status Report on April 2, 2014. On April 29, 2014, Plaintiffs filed 

their First Amended Complaint (Doc. No. 4) and Defendants CITY OF VACAVILLE, CHIEF 

RICHARD WORD, OFFICER KINGI and OFFICER VALK's last day to file a responsive pleading 

was extended to June 2014 by stipulation and order (Doc. No. 8).

In order to avoid unnecessary motion practice, the parties diligently and extensively met and 

conferred regarding Defendants' contentions that certain causes of action as filed by Plaintiffs failed 

to state a claim. These efforts included the exchange of written correspondence detailing these 

contentions, as well as a June 10, 2014 telephone conference in which counsel for the parties agreed 

that it would make sense for Plaintiffs to file a Second Amended Complaint modifying claims to the 

extent that the parties can reach agreement, and naming additional Defendants. On June 11, 2014, 

the parties stipulated and requested that this Court permit Plaintiffs to file a Second Amended 

Complaint on or before July 3, 2014 (Doc. No. 9).

While engaged in the above-described meet and confer efforts, the filing of the First

Amended Complaint and the preparation of the Second Amended Complaint, the parties 

inadvertently missed the deadline to confer pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. p. 26(f), and to prepare and 

submit to the Court a Joint Status Report, as set by the Court's Order Requiring Joint Status Report 

(Doc. No. 3). Upon discovering this error on June 23, 2014, the parties immediately scheduled a 

Rule 26(f) conference for July 1, 2014.

The parties now stipulate and respectfully request that this Court modify the Order 

Requiring Joint Status Report and grant the parties an extension of time to complete their Rule 26(f) 

conference and to submit the Joint Status Report in this matter. Specifically, the parties request that 

this Court continue the current deadline of May 30, 2014 and permit the parties to confer pursuant 

to Rule 26(f) by July 1, 2014 and to submit to the Court a Joint Status Report by July 15, 2014.

SO STIPULATED:
