RECITALS

1. Defendant City of Oakland and Plaintiffs Lyndsey Ballinger and Sharon Ballinger

have conferred regarding the briefing schedule on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ 

Complaint (Dkt. 13) (the “Motion”). 

2. Plaintiffs’ opposition to the Motion is presently due on January 18, 2019. Plaintiffs

Defendant is willing to stipulate to Plaintiffs’ requested extension on condition that Plaintiffs agree
