I. STIPULATION 

Plaintiff CATHERINE GODDARD (“GODDARD”) and Defendant COUNTY OF EL 

DORADO (“COUNTY,” and collectively “THE PARTIES”) do hereby stipulate and agree as 

follows: 

GODDARD has a pending Motion to Modify the Court’s Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order 

(Doc. 18) which seeks to re-open discovery and other relief. The Motion to Modify is opposed by 

the COUNTY and has been taken under submission by the Court. The COUNTY has a pending 

Motion for Summary Judgment/Summary Adjudication (Doc. 15), which was originally set for 

hearing on March 5, 2020 and continued to April 2, 2020 upon GODDARD’S unopposed ex parte

application (Docs. 26-28). The PARTIES agree that it makes sense to have GODDARD’s Motion 

to Modify decided before the Motion for Summary Judgment/Adjudication. The PARTIES further
