UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STANCY NESBY,

Plaintiff,

v.

THE CITY OF OAKLAND, ET AL.,

Defendants.

________________________________/

No. C 05-3555 JL

CONTINUANCE

The Court received the letter briefs of the parties regarding their separate proposals

for scheduling the settlement conference and trial in this case. A settlement conference

before Magistrate Judge Chen is scheduled on January 9, 2007. Defendants’ motion for

summary judgment is set for hearing before this Court on January 10, 2007. Pretrial

documents are due to be filed January 19 and trial is set to begin February 20.

Defendants contend that they will be unable to engage in meaningful settlement

negotiations prior to receiving the Court’s ruling on their motion for summary judgment,

which could potentially result in dismissal of Plaintiff’s claims for unlawful arrest, illegal

detention and excessive time in detention, and leave only her claims for use of excessive

force by the defendant police officers. Defendants ask the Court to continue both the

settlement conference and the trial, so that they will not be forced to waste their client’s

resources in filing pretrial documents dealing with issues which may not survive summary

judgment.

Plaintiffs agree to a continuance of the settlement conference, but ask the Court to

assign this case to private mediation and deny Defendants’ motion to continue the trial

date. Plaintiff also complains that Defendants have not yet disclosed their experts in

rebuttal, due 30 days after Plaintiff’s November 11 disclosure, and that Defendants will not

make their experts available for deposition until January 15, 2007.

In the interests of facilitating resolution of this case, this Court hereby vacates the

settlement conference before Magistrate Judge Chen and adopts the schedule proposed

by Defendants:

Trial: June 18, 2007

Pretrial Conference: May 30, 2007

Filing of Objections or Oppositions: May 21, 2007

Filing of Pretrial Documents: May 10, 2007

Last day to meet and confer on Pretrial Documents: April 30, 2007

Settlement Conference: Early February 2007, or at the convenience of Magistrate

Judge Chen’s calendar.

The Court reminds the parties to provide discovery according to the existing

deadlines.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 19, 2006
