IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TONIA JOHNS,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

MEGAN J. BRENNAN, POSTMASTER 

GENERAL, UNITED STATES POSTAL 

SERVICE,

 Defendant. 

CASE NO. 2:15-CV-1910-GEB-DAD

JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO CONTINUE SCHEDULING 

CONFERENCE

JUDGE: HON. GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR.

CTRM.: 6, 14th Floor 

 

Federal Defendant Postmaster General Megan J. Brennan of the United States Postal Service and

Plaintiff Tonia Johns respectfully request that the Court continue the Scheduling conference currently 

set for November 23, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. Because Plaintiff served the United States Attorney’s office on 

November 2, 2015, Postmaster Brennan’s response to Plaintiff’s complaint is due on January 4, 2016. 

See Fed. Rules of Civ. Proc. 12 (a)(2)(United States officer sued in official capacity has 60 days from 

service on the United States Attorney to respond to complaint), 6 (a)(1)(C) (response period that ends 

on a legal holiday continues until the next day that is not a weekend or legal holiday). The United States 

Postal service is currently gathering information and preparing a litigation report to enable Federal 

Defendant’s counsel to prepare an appropriate response to Plaintiff’s complaint. Accordingly, the 

parties are not yet in a position to hold a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(f) discovery conference and 

propose a schedule and discovery plan to the Court. The parties therefore propose that the Court
