Plaintiffs William and Celia Bernal (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Sacramento County 

Sheriff’s Department, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, Sacramento County Sheriff 

Deputy Couch, Sacramento County Sheriff Deputy Winkel, Sacramento County Sheriff Deputy 

Kennedy, Sacramento County Sheriff Deputy Sutter, Sacramento County Sheriff Deputy 

Chhlang, Sacramento County Sheriff Deputy Bliss, Sacramento County Sheriff Deputy 

Quackenbush (“Defendants”) respectfully submit this proposed order in accordance with the 

stipulations contained in their Joint Status Report and Discovery Plan (ECF No. 14). Due to 

uncertainties regarding the appearances of other parties to the case, Plaintiffs and Defendants 

believe it is necessary to extend various deadlines pertaining to discovery and dispositive 

motions. Specifically, the Plaintiffs and Defendants agree to the following deadlines in this case: 

• Expert witness disclosure in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26 (a)(2) 

shall be served on or before December 4, 2020. 

• Supplemental expert disclosure shall be served on or before 30 days after initial expert 

disclosure.

• Expert discovery shall be completed 30 days after supplemental experts are disclosed. 

• Fact discovery shall be completed by October 23, 2020.

• Dispositive motions shall be filed no later than 180 days after the close of non-expert 

discovery. 

Because this is jointly agreed to by Plaintiffs and Defendants, there is no risk of prejudice to 

any party in this case or bad faith.
