Stipulation and Order Extending Time for CHP to Respond to the Complaint (1:15-cv-01882-TLN-SMS)

STIPULATION

Pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), all Plaintiffs and all Defendants in this action hereby 

stipulate that Defendant California Highway Patrol (“CHP”) may have until February 29, 2016, to 

respond to the Complaint removed to this Court on December 17, 2015. 

Court approval of this extension is required because the parties previously stipulated to a 

28-day extension of time, which extended CHP’s time to respond to the complaint to February 1, 

2016. 

Good cause exists to grant the requested extension of the time because the res that is the 

subject of the case is currently in the control of the United States Attorney’s Office for the 

Eastern District of California, which has until February 19, 2016, to file a complaint for judicial 

forfeiture. See 18 U.S.C. § 983. In November 2015, the United States Attorney’s Office served 

Plaintiffs with a notice of administrative forfeiture. Plaintiffs filed an administrative claim on or 

around November 20, 2015.

Because the filing of a judicial forfeiture proceeding will significantly affect what defenses 

the CHP asserts in response to the complaint, it will preserve party and judicial resources for the 

CHP’s response to be filed after February 19. Accordingly, the parties request that the Court 

grant the requested extension of time. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
