that defendants have violated (inter alia) the provisions of the Individuals with 

Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”), the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with 

Disabilities Act, and 42 U.S.C. § 1983; and 

Whereas, the Court on November 22, 2006 issued, and on April 20, 2007 

extended, a Stay of the Proceedings to enable the plaintiffs to complete exhaustion 

of their administrative remedies pending a decision after hearing in the matter of 

Colin F. v. Clovis Unified School District, Case Number 2006030082 before the 

California Office of Administrative Hearings; and 

Whereas, the Office of Administrative Hearings issued its decision in the 

matter on May 4, 2007; and 

Whereas, the plaintiffs and the defendants agree that it will now be 

necessary to seek review in this Court of the issues now administratively 

exhausted; and 

Whereas, the parties agree that amendment of the complaint at this time 

will likely render unnecessary costly and time-consuming Rule 12(b)(6) 

proceedings in this Court (or such dismissal motion would be significantly 

narrowed); and 

Whereas, the Court’s Scheduling Conference Order at p. 2, ¶ IV.1. provides 

“Plaintiffs will again amend their complaint to add causes of action under the 

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and related claims once 

administrative remedies have been exhausted”; 

Therefore, the parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby

Rule 12(b)(6) motion, or answer the second amended complaint; 

4. That the Scheduling Order now in effect be vacated, and that a new 

Scheduling Conference be set within 15 days of the Court’s decision in the Rule 

12(b)(6) motion or the defendants’ answer to the second amended complaint, 

whichever comes later. 

5. This Stipulation may be executed in counterparts and copies shall be 

deemed as authentic and binding as originals.
