1. The parties, Plaintiff Timothy M. Callison and Defendants City of American Canyon, 

City of Vallejo, County of Napa and Officer Brett Schneider, by and through their designated counsel, 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2) hereby jointly stipulate and request that the Court 

grant Plaintiff leave to file a First Amended Complaint in this action, a true and correct copy of which is 

attached as Exhibit A hereto.

2. Plaintiff filed his complaint on October 9, 2014, in Solano County Superior Court;

3. On January 15, 2015, Defendants removed plaintiff’s complaint to the Eastern District of 

California;

4. On January 22, 2015, Defendants, respectively, filed their Answers to Plaintiff’s 

complaint;

5. In response to Interrogatories Plaintiff recently learned that the medical provider at the 

Napa County Correctional Facility is a third party vendor, California Forensic Medical Group. 

6. Until recent discussion between plaintiff’s counsel and Adam Abel, former counsel for 

defendant Napa County, neither counsel had been aware of California Forensic Medical Group (CFMG). 

The parties had been under the impression that medical care within the Napa County jail was provided 

by Napa County employees. Responses to Interrogatories confirmed the identity of CFMG and 

subsequent communications amongst counsel produced the consensus, given the allegations in 

Plaintiff’s complaint, that good cause exists for Plaintiff to amend his complaint and add CFMG as a 

defendant. 

7. Defendants waive notice and service of the First Amended Complaint and shall not be 

required to answer the amendment, but each of the aforementioned parties has the option to either 1) file 

a responsive pleading (within two weeks of the First Amended Complaint being filed), or 2) elect to 

treat all of that party’s denials, responses, and affirmative defenses contained in the applicable Answer 

filed herein as responsive to the First Amended Complaint.

8. Concurrent with this stipulation for leave for Plaintiff to file a First Amended Complaint, 

the parties, by and through their counsel, are filing their joint “Stipulation to Alter / Vacate Pretrial 

Scheduling Order” therein requesting a new pretrial scheduling conference.
