for mobility, alleges that he encountered conditions at the public accommodation known as 

Ashlan Buggy Clean, located in Fresno, California (“the Facility”), that prevented his full and 

equal access to the Facility. Plaintiff seeks injunctive relief under state and federal law, 

damages under state law, and the recovery of his attorneys’ fees, costs, and litigation expenses 

as permitted by statute; 

WHEREAS, the Court issued a Status (Pre-Trial Scheduling) Order (“Scheduling 

Order”) in this action on March 17, 2015 (Dkt. 13); 

WHEREAS, on May 8, 2015, Plaintiff conducted a formal inspection of the Facility 

for the purpose of determining whether additional barriers to his full and equal access (in 

addition to those he alleged in his initial complaint to have personally encountered) existed at 

the Facility and was the process of amending his complaint to allege such additionally 

discovered conditions; 

WHEREAS, on or about May 13, 2015, Defendant advised Plaintiff that it intends to 

file for bankruptcy; 

WHEREAS, Defendant hereby represents that it intends to file for bankruptcy within 

the next 75 days; 

WHEREAS, neither party wishes to incur additional fees and costs prosecuting and 

defending this action where bankruptcy is imminent and will automatically stay the action, and 

the Parties wish to conserve their resources as well as those of the Court pending the outcome 

of the bankruptcy; 

NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE that this matter be 

stayed, and that all dates set forth in the Scheduling Order be vacated. Should Defendant not 

file bankruptcy and a Notice of Filing Bankruptcy in this action on or before August 3, 2015, 

the Parties shall file a Joint Status Report explaining the delay or change in circumstances on 

or before August 10, 2015. Should Defendant file for bankruptcy and file the Notice of Filing 

Bankruptcy in this action as anticipated, subject to the automatic stay of 11 § U.S.C. 362, 

Plaintiff shall file a Status Report every 90 days until the matter is either put back on calendar 

or dismissed.
