Case No.: 2:23-cv-01738-JAM-SCR

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

MODIFYING THE PRETRIAL 

SCHEDULING ORDER

The parties, by and through their respective counsel or record and subject to approval of 

the Court, hereby stipulate and respectfully request to modify and extend by four (4) months the 

below deadlines set forth in this Court’s Status (Pre-trial Scheduling) Order dated December 15, 

2023, (ECF No. 28).

Good cause exists for the modification because the parties have Petitioned the Solano 

County Juvenile Court to obtain otherwise confidential juvenile detention and adoption files. These 

files are critical to the parties’ ability to engage in discovery and the parties’ resolution of this case. 

To date, the parties have not received authorization from the Juvenile Court to access the juvenile 

court files and distribute them as part of the litigation discovery process. Given the current
