STIPULATION

Plaintiff GERARDO HERNANDEZ (“Plaintiff”) and defendant SAN MATEO COUNTY 

COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT (“Defendant”) – Plaintiff and Defendant together the 

“Parties” -- hereby stipulate and request that the Court extend the deadline for the Parties to 

mediate under General Order 56. The Parties do so based on the following Good Cause:

1. Plaintiff filed his action on December 4, 2014.

2. The subject property is Canada College, a large college campus located in 

Redwood City, California.

3. The Parties have been working cooperatively within the parameters of General 

Order 56 to resolve Plaintiff’s claims, including conducting a joint site inspection 

on April 21, 2015 and April 22, 2015. 

4. Plaintiff issued an injunctive relief demand and disclosed his access consultant’s 

report to Defendant on June 22, 2015. Based on the report of Plaintiff’s access 

consultant, Plaintiff alleges many issues related to disabled access at the subject 

property.

5. Plaintiff filed a Notice of Need for Mediation on July 6, 2015. Docket No. 19.

6. The case was referred to mediation on July 10, 2015, and assigned a mediator on 

August 26, 2015. Docket No. 20. 

7. Since that time, the Parties have continued to negotiate the settlement of injunctive 

relief. 

8. The Parties have scheduled an in-person meet and confer, which will include all 

counsel, Defendants’ representatives, and the Parties’ access consultants on 

September 22, 2015.

9. During a pre-mediation teleconference with the assigned General Order 56 

mediator, The Honorable James Lambden (Ret.), on September 14, 2015, the 

mediator and the Parties tentatively agreed to a mediation date of October 29, 

2015.
