No. C06-4029 RMW

STIPULATION AND ORDER

TO VACATE TRIAL DATE AND ALL

PRETRIAL DEADLINES

The parties in the above-captioned action submit the following Stipulation and Proposed

Order for the purpose of requesting that the Court postpone the trial date, presently set for

October 6, 2008, and all pretrial deadlines. This is the parties’ second request for a trial

continuance.

Plaintiffs Tracy Watson and Renee Stalker have appealed the jurisdiction and disposition

orders of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, Juvenile Division pertaining

to the child-dependency proceedings of Plaintiffs Olivia Stalker, Shafer Watson, and Riley

Watson. The appeal is pending in the Court of Appeal of California, Sixth Appellate Division. 

Plaintiffs’ claims in the present civil-rights action stem from the child-dependency proceedings

that are presently pending on appeal.

Defendants contend that a final resolution of a pending appeal could have a bearing on

their defenses in this matter. The parties to that appeal have not completed briefing of the

matter and are not expected to complete briefing for at least several months. Further, Tracy

Watson and Renee Stalker will request that the state appellate court hear oral argument. As

such, it is unlikely that the state court appeal will reach final disposition prior to the October 6,

2008 trial date in the present action. 

Accordingly, the parties stipulate to have the trial date and all pretrial deadlines, including

the last date to hear dispositive motions and all general discovery and expert discovery

deadlines, postponed as set forth in the following schedule: 

Trial February 23, 2009

Pretrial Conference February 12, 2009

Last day to hear dispositive motions December 19, 2009

Expert disclosure November 14, 2008

Discovery cut-off December 19, 2008

I hereby attest that I have on file all holograph signatures for any signatures indicated by a

“conformed” signature (/S/) within this efiled document.
