 On June 3, 2021, the Court issued an order adopting the parties’ proposed schedule to 

adjudicate Plaintiff-Intervenor Christopher Lipsey’s claim in intervention. See ECF No. 7191. Under 

that schedule, fact discovery was to be completed by October 29, 2021. Id. ¶ 2. Other deadlines for 

expert discovery and dispositive and Daubert motions followed from the fact discovery cutoff. Id. 

¶ 3. After the magistrate judge granted in part Lipsey’s motion to compel on September 10, 2021 and 

Defendants discovered an error in the execution of search terms that, when corrected, significantly 

expanded the volume of documents to be reviewed and produced, the parties stipulated to, and the 

Court ordered, an extension of the discovery deadlines on October 14, 2021. ECF No. 7344. Fact 

discovery is now scheduled to close on December 16, 2021. Id. ¶ 1. 

 Lipsey and Defendants have been actively working to complete discovery on schedule but 

again need more time. Lipsey’s responses to Defendants’ written discovery have taken longer than 

expected as a result of the delays inherent in communicating with and collecting documents from an 

incarcerated client, even with Defendants’ assistance in facilitating the process. Additionally, 

Defendants are continuing to review and produce documents collected in response to the motion to 

compel ruling and the corrected search that contributed to the previous extension. Although the parties 

hope to be able to complete these tasks by the current fact discovery deadline, there remains a 

significant amount of discovery to be completed, including, but not limited to the parties’ need to 

complete written discovery; Lipsey’s plan to schedule and complete ten fact witness depositions, 

including those of high-level CDCR officials and at least one non-party, TimeKeeping Systems, Inc. 

(the supplier of the Guard One system), whose counsel has represented to Lipsey’s counsel that it is 

not available for a deposition until late December or early January; and Defendants’ plan to take 

Lipsey’s deposition. The parties therefore request an extension of discovery deadlines.
