STATUS (PRETRIAL SCHEDULING) ORDER

After reviewing the parties’ Joint Status Report, the 

court hereby vacates the Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference 

scheduled for July 20, 2015, and makes the following findings and 

orders without needing to consult with the parties any further. 

I. SERVICE OF PROCESS

All named defendants have been served except for 

William Kambic. Plaintiff states that service was refused by the 

Stockton Police Department for William Kambic, and that plaintiff 

will continue to locate him for service. Plaintiff shall serve 

defendant Kambic no later than August 30, 2015. 

II. JOINDER OF PARTIES/AMENDMENTS

No further joinder of parties or amendments to 

pleadings will be permitted except with leave of court, good 

cause having been shown under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 

16(b). See Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604 

(9th Cir. 1992). 

III. JURISDICTION/VENUE

Jurisdiction is predicated upon 28 U.S.C. § 1331

because the action arises under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Venue is 

undisputed and is hereby found to be proper.

IV. DISCOVERY

 Parties shall serve initial disclosures required by 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(1) by no later than August 

21, 2015.

The parties shall disclose experts and produce reports 

in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(a)(2) by no 

later than March 25, 2016. With regard to expert testimony

intended solely for rebuttal, those experts shall be disclosed 

and reports produced in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26(a)(2) on or before April 22, 2016. 

All discovery, including depositions for preservation 

of testimony, is left open, save and except that it shall be so 

conducted as to be completed by May 6, 2016. The word 

“completed” means that all discovery shall have been conducted so 

that all depositions have been taken and any disputes relevant to 

discovery shall have been resolved by appropriate order if 

necessary and, where discovery has been ordered, the order has 

been obeyed. All motions to compel discovery must be noticed on 

the magistrate judge’s calendar in accordance with the local 

rules of this court and so that such motions may be heard (and 

any resulting orders obeyed) not later than May 6, 2016.

The parties stipulated to certain limitations on 

discovery different than those imposed by the federal rules. In 

accordance with that stipulation, the parties are permitted up to 

fifteen depositions for each side. Requests for production and 

inspection shall be limited to twenty-five per party. Requests 

for admission shall also be limited to twenty-five per party. 

V. MOTION HEARING SCHEDULE

All motions, except motions for continuances, temporary 

restraining orders, or other emergency applications, shall be 

filed on or before June 24, 2016. All motions shall be noticed 

for the next available hearing date. Counsel are cautioned to 

refer to the local rules regarding the requirements for noticing 

and opposing such motions on the court’s regularly scheduled law 

and motion calendar.

VI. FINAL PRETRIAL CONFERENCE

The Final Pretrial Conference is set for September 12, 

2016, at 2:00 p.m. in Courtroom No. 5. The conference shall be 

attended by at least one of the attorneys who will conduct the 

trial for each of the parties and by any unrepresented parties. 

Counsel for all parties are to be fully prepared for 

trial at the time of the Pretrial Conference, with no matters 

remaining to be accomplished except production of witnesses for 

oral testimony. Counsel shall file separate pretrial statements, 

and are referred to Local Rules 281 and 282 relating to the 

contents of and time for filing those statements. In addition to 

those subjects listed in Local Rule 281(b), the parties are to 

provide the court with: (1) a plain, concise statement which 

identifies every non-discovery motion which has been made to the 

court, and its resolution; (2) a list of the remaining claims as 

against each defendant; and (3) the estimated number of trial 

days.

In providing the plain, concise statements of 

undisputed facts and disputed factual issues contemplated by 

Local Rule 281(b)(3)-(4), the parties shall emphasize the claims 

that remain at issue, and any remaining affirmatively pled 

defenses thereto. If the case is to be tried to a jury, the 

parties shall also prepare a succinct statement of the case, 

which is appropriate for the court to read to the jury.

VII. TRIAL SETTING

Plaintiffs have requested a trial by jury. The jury 

trial is set for November 8, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. The parties 

estimate that the trial will last seven to ten days.

VIII. SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE

A Settlement Conference will be set at the time of the 

Pretrial Conference. All parties should be prepared to advise 

the court whether they will stipulate to the trial judge acting 

as settlement judge and waive disqualification by virtue thereof.

Counsel are instructed to have a principal with full 

settlement authority present at the Settlement Conference or to 

be fully authorized to settle the matter on any terms. At least 

seven calendar days before the Settlement Conference counsel for 

each party shall submit a confidential Settlement Conference 

Statement for review by the settlement judge. If the settlement 

judge is not the trial judge, the Settlement Conference 

Statements shall not be filed and will not otherwise be disclosed 

to the trial judge.

IX. MODIFICATIONS TO SCHEDULING ORDER

Any requests to modify the dates or terms of this 

Scheduling Order, except requests to change the date of the 

trial, may be heard and decided by the assigned Magistrate Judge. 

All requests to change the trial date shall be heard and decided 

only by the undersigned judge.

Dated: July 15, 2015
