Case No. C-07-00641 JF 

STIPULATION TO CONTINUE TRIAL 

DATE AND JOINT REQUEST FOR 

CONTINUANCE; 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Trial Date: June 13, 2008 

Plaintiffs, EMILIO CHAVEZ and MERCED CHAVEZ and Defendants, CITY OF 

SOLEDAD, THOMAS MARCHESE and JENNIFER PARTON hereby stipulate to a 

continuance of the trial date for the following reasons. 

Defendants notified Plaintiffs’ counsel that Defendants intended to file a motion for 

summary judgment or summary adjudication based on the Heck Doctrine because Plaintiff had 

pled guilty or no contest to a criminal offense which would affect Plaintiffs’ claims in this 

litigation. Prior to the filing of the summary judgment motion, Plaintiffs’ counsel informed 

Defendants that Plaintiff EMILIO CHAVEZ was filing a motion to vacate and set aside his plea

in the Monterey County Superior Court, so Defendants did not file the motion for summary 

judgment. On or about April 1, 2008, Plaintiff filed his motion to vacate the judgment in the 

Monterey County Criminal Courts, which hearing is set for April 30, 2008. The Monterey 

County District Attorney’s Office intends to object to the motion to set aside the plea and 

Defendants in this case intend to appear and object. 

If the judgment and plea is set aside, it is the understanding of Defendants at this time

that the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office will continue with prosecution of 

Mr. CHAVEZ, which will not be concluded by the currently set trial date of June 13, 2008. 

Even if the Superior Court of Monterey County does not set aside the plea, the hearing on the 

motion and any potential appeal by Mr. CHAVEZ of the Court’s order will affect scheduling and 

pre-trial preparation. 

Therefore, the parties hereby STIPULATE to continue the trial in this matter until Friday, 

November 7, 2008, or on a date in that time frame convenient for the Court. The parties further 

stipulate that, depending on the outcome of the Plaintiff’s Motion to Vacate and Set Aside his 

plea, Defendants may bring a motion for summary judgment to be heard no later than 30 days 

before the trial in this matter.
