SPINELLI, DONALD &

Human Services employee, Alix Byrd, individually, and John Lawrence, individually (hereinafter 

collectively as “Defendants”) HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE that said Defendants may 

have approximately a 60-day extension of time (until January 28, 2017) to file responsive pleadings 

to Plaintiffs’ Complaint. Doing so will provide Defendants sufficient time to obtain information 

necessary to file responsive pleadings to Plaintiffs’ lengthy Complaint (575 pages). Further, 

Plaintiffs have filed a substantially similar State Court action; the extension will provide sufficient 

time to analyze and confirm whether it is procedurally appropriate to remove the state court action 

to federal court, or remand the federal court action to state court. Defendants intend to pursue the 

appropriate procedural vehicle and will do so within the appropriate statutory timeframe. 

 Defendants Judy Carter, individually and in her capacity as a Siskiyou County Health and 

Human Services employee and Alix Byrd have not yet been served in this action. These Defendants 

are making a special appearance so that, upon service of the summons and complaint, they will be 

included in the extension of time to January 28, 2017 to respond to the pleading without having to 

execute and file a separate, additional Stipulation and Proposed Order. 

This is the first stipulation for an extension of time between the parties.
