filed, Defendant COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO has filed Motions to Dismiss the initial 

Complaint, the First Amended Complaint, and, now, the Second Amended Complaint. 

Defendant COUNTY’s first two motions were granted with leave to amend. The hearing on 

Defendant’s Motion To Dismiss the Second Amended Complaint is set for August 20, 2014. If 

Defendant COUNTY’s motion is successful and the Court does not grant leave to amend, then 

the case will be concluded as it pertains to Defendant COUNTY. 

Because of the above and the fact the pleadings are not yet in order, the parties have not 

yet engaged in any discovery so as to avoid incurring needless time and expense conducting 

discovery on claims that cannot survive a motion to dismiss. Since expert disclosures are due in 

this case on August 15, 2014, discovery is set to close on October 15, 2014, and it is unlikely the 

parties will have a resolution of the currently pending Motion to Dismiss prior to September 

2014, the parties stipulate to modify the present scheduling order and respectfully request that the 

scheduling order be modified as follows: 

Expert Disclosure: July 10, 2015 

 Rebuttal Expert Disclosure: August 14, 2015 

 Discovery Cutoff: October 14, 2015 

 Last Day to File Dispositive Motions: November 18, 2015 

 Hearing on dispositive motions: December 16, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. 

 Joint pretrial statement due: February 5, 2016 

 Pre-Trial Conference: February 12, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. 

 Trial: March 28, 2016 at 9:00 a.m.
