Stipulation and Proposed Order to Modify 

Scheduling Order; Decl. of Melissa Kiniyalocts 3 C06-4029 RMW

DECLARATION OF MELISSA KINIYALOCTS IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATION 

AND PROPOSED ORDER TO MODIFY SCHEDULING ORDER

I, Melissa Kiniyalocts, declare as follows:

1. I am employed as a Lead Deputy County Counsel for the County of Santa Clara and

am duly licensed to practice law before this Court and all California courts. I am one of the

attorneys of record for the County of Santa Clara Defendants.

2. This request for an order to modify the scheduling order is made jointly pursuant to

stipulation. Counsel for all parties have met and conferred regarding the proposed expert

discovery dates and trial date.

3. On December 4, 2009, Defendants’ nine motions for summary judgment were heard. 

The motions, which were filed by the County of Santa Clara, Evergreen School District, and

City of San Jose Defendants, remain under submission. 

4. The parties agree that expert discovery and trial preparation could be substantially

impacted by the rulings on the pending motions for summary judgment. Defendants are public

entities and their employees. As such, prior to incurring substantial costs and fees associated

with expert discovery and trial preparation, the parties agree to postpone the expert discovery

deadlines and trial date to allow additional time for rulings on the pending motions.

5. The parties have previously requested modifications to the scheduling order on

January 14, 2008, May 2, 2008, September 8, 2008, January 15, 2009, and January 8, 2010. 

Additionally, on June 11, 2009 the Court entered a Modified Scheduling Order after a Further

Case Management Conference.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the

foregoing is true and correct. Executed this 8 day of January, 2010 at San Jose, California. th
