WHEREAS, on February 8, 2023, Plaintiff filed his Complaint in the District of 

Connecticut and initiated the above-captioned action; 

WHEREAS, on February 21, 2023, Plaintiff filed his Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, although Plaintiff’s Complaint and Amended Complaint name “California 

State University Maritime” as a defendant to this action, the California State University is 

governed by the Board of Trustees of the California State University, which is the only proper 

entity to be named in a civil suit; 

WHEREAS, on July 21, 2023, the Parties filed a Stipulation and Proposed Order 

Transferring Action to Eastern District of California (the “July 21 Stipulation”);1

 

WHEREAS, on July 24, 2023, the District of Connecticut ordered transfer of this action to 

the Eastern District of California, and on August 4, 2023, the action was transferred to this Court; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff intends to file a Second Amended Complaint now that the case has 

been transferred to this Court in order to correctly identify the Board of Trustees of the California 

State University as the proper defendant. 

WHEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, subject to the 

approval of the Court, that: 

1. Plaintiff’s deadline to file a Second Amended Complaint is October 5, 2023; and 

2. The time for Defendants CSU and Dhillon to respond to the Second Amended 

Complaint is stayed until 30 days after Plaintiff files his Second Amended Complaint. 

//

 In filing the July 21 Stipulation, CSU did not consent to suit in any federal court and expressly 

reserved all applicable defenses and immunities available to it, including, but not limited to, 

Eleventh Amendment immunity.
