as follows: 

Because there are seventeen defendants, two percipient medical witnesses and at 

least two experts, the parties agree that the number of depositions that may be taken by 

either party be raised from 10 to 20 pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 

30(a)(2)(A). The parties further stipulate to an order granting leave of Court pursuant to 

Rule 30(a)(2) that defendants may take Mr. Roundtree’s deposition at CTF Soledad. 

Because defendants have advised that they intend to file a motion to dismiss such 

claims as the complaint alleges against certain California Department of Corrections 

personnel at CTF Soledad (defendants Friedman, Hill, Schwimmer and A. Petersen), the 

parties hereby stipulate and agree to extend plaintiff’s discovery cutoff for deposing 

those defendants until 30 days after the Court’s ruling on the defendants’ dismissal 

motion. 

Counsel for the parties have met and conferred extensively over the past two 

weeks to attempt to resolve issues related to the depositions of the defendants employed 

at SATF Corcoran. Because logistical issues related to those depositions will likely 

become the subject of a motion for protective order, the parties hereby stipulate that 

plaintiff will electronically serve deposition notices on defense counsel no later than 

Thursday, February 1, 2007. The parties further stipulate to an extension of plaintiff’s 

discovery cutoff for deposing those defendants until the later of April 30, 2007 or 30 days 

after the Court’s or the Magistrate’s ruling on the motion for protective order. 

In light of the extended dates for completing depositions in this case, and in order 

to ensure a productive settlement conference, the parties hereby stipulate and agree to an

4) No later than Thursday, February 1, 2007, plaintiff’s counsel shall 

electronically serve on defense counsel the deposition notices for the 

remaining defendants. Plaintiff’s cutoff date for deposing those 

defendants is extended to the later of April 30, 2007 or 30 days after

order.
