UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

FRESNO DIVISION

CATRELL BAKARI,

Plaintiff,

v.

FOSTER POULTRY FARMS, INC.

Defendants.

CASE NO.: 1:13-CV-01814-AWI-SAB

STIPULATION AND ORDER TO 

CONTINUE MANDATORY 

SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

STIPULATION

All parties to this action stipulate and agree, by and through their respective Counsel, to 

continue the scheduling conference set for January 14, 2014 before Magistrate Judge Stanley A. 

Boone, as follows:

1. On November 8, 2013, this Court entered its Order Setting Mandatory Scheduling 

Conference (“MSC Order”). The MSC Order set a Mandatory Scheduling Conference on 

January 14, 2013, at 9:15 a.m. Additionally, the MSC Order requires the parties file a Joint 

Scheduling Report on January 7, 2014;

2. On December 4, 2013, Plaintiff, Catrell Bakari, filed a Motion to Remand to State 

Court and for Award of Attorney Fees and Costs (“Motion to Remand”), which is set for hearing 

on January 8, 2014, one day after the Joint Scheduling Report is due to be filed.

3. Defendant, Foster Poultry Farms, Inc. does not oppose remand of this matter to 

State Court. However, Defendant filed its opposition to the Motion to Remand solely for the 

purpose of opposing Plaintiff’s request for an award of attorney fees and costs.

4. As Defendant does not oppose remand of this matter to State Court, this Court is 

expected to grant, in part, Plaintiff’s Motion to Remand and to order, on January 8, 2014, the 

matter remanded to State Court. 

5. As remand of the matter is expected to be ordered by this Court, the parties agree 

it would be in the best interests of the parties and of this Court, and would promote judicial 

economy, if the Mandatory Scheduling Conference was continued to February 2014, which, in 

turn, would change the date the Joint Scheduling Report is due to one (1) full week prior to the 

continued Mandatory Scheduling Conference.

6. On December 30, 2013, Defendant’s legal counsel had a firm staff member 

contact Judge Boone’s Courtroom Clerk, Ms. Hernandez, to discuss alternate dates for the 

Scheduling Conference. Based on that discussion, the parties understand February 18, 2014, at 

2:00 p.m., is available for continuing the Mandatory Scheduling Conference. 

7. Therefore, the parties respectfully stipulate and request that this Court continue 

the Mandatory Scheduling Conference in this matter to February 18, 2014, at 2:00 p.m.
