STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND STAY OF RELATED CASES 

Case Nos. 2:22-cv-01378-KJM-AC, 21-cv-00999-KJM-AC 

Conditioned on the agreements below, the Parties request a continuation of the stay of 

the above captioned related cases and further endorsement of this stipulation by Court order. 

The Parties represent the following in support: 

1. On August 4, 2022, the Chang Plaintiffs filed Case No. 2:22-cv-01378-KJM-AC 

which was later deemed related to the previously filed Lo matter, Case No. 2:22-cv-01378-

KJM-AC. See Chang Docket Dkt. No. 9. Both matters allege discrimination against Asian 

Americans by Siskiyou County, including through the passage of three water ordinances. The 

Chang Complaint further includes claims of racial profiling in traffic stops and the use of 

unlawful liens. See Chang Docket Dkt. No. 1 (claims 2-3, 9-11). Defendants have not yet 

answered the Chang Complaint. 

2. In November 2022, Defendants proposed a stay of the related cases to explore 

the possibility of a global resolution. On November 14, 2022, the Lo Plaintiffs and Defendants 

agreed to stay the Lo Plaintiffs’ discovery deadlines. 

3. On December 28, 2022, the Parties stipulated to, and the Court ordered, a stay of 

the related cases until February 28, 2023. Chang Dkt. No. 19; Lo Dkt. No. 94. On January 23, 

2023, the Parties met for an initial settlement conference with the Honorable Magistrate Judge 

Claire. 

4. Having met and conferred, the Parties now agree that a further extension of the 

stay is appropriate with the additional conditions set forth below. 

The parties to the related cases 2:22-cv-01378-KJM-AC (Lo) and 2:22-cv-01378-KJM-AC 

(Chang) stipulate as follows and jointly request that the Court enter an order accordingly: 

1. The parties have continued their settlement discussions with Magistrate Judge Claire and 

have a further mediation with her set for March 6, 2023. Accordingly, they stipulate that the stay of 

Chang Dkt. No. 19 and Lo Dkt. No. 94 is extended to March 14, 2023, and any deadlines provided 

therein are correspondingly extended.

2. They further stipulate that the provisions of paragraph 5 of Chang Dkt. No. 19 and Lo

Dkt. No. 94 (relating to lien enforcement) are amended to substitute "60 days" in place of "30 

days." 

3. Other than the change of "30 days" to "60 days" relating to lien enforcement, all other 

provisions of the Stipulation in Chang Dkt. No. 19 and Lo Dkt. No. 94 shall continue to be in effect, 

and any deadlines shall be set based on the new date of termination of the stay.
