STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER MODIFYING SCHEDULING 

ORDER 

The parties hereto, by and through their undersigned counsel, stipulate and agree as 

follows: 

1. The hearing date for summary judgment motions is currently scheduled for 

February 17, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. For the reasons that follow, the parties have agreed to 

continue this date to March 3, 2010 at 10:00 a.m., and respectfully request that the Court 

modify the dates set forth in the current scheduling order. 

2. Plaintiffs’ counsel has out-of-town depositions (Los Angeles) in another matter 

on the hearing date currently set for the summary judgment motions, February 17, 2010. The

parties realize this was a date actually suggested by the parties. Plaintiffs’ counsel 

apologizes to the Court, however, while he was in the midst of offering this date up in the 

discussion regarding the last stipulation, his staff was busy setting depositions with two other 

law firms of various police officers in the case of McCreadie v. Riverside County (Case No. 

CV 09-02596 VBF), venued in the Central District of California. 

3. Additionally, since the last scheduling order was entered, the parties have 

secured a settlement conference date of Friday, January 15, 2010 with Magistrate Judge 

Maria Elena James. This date is four days prior to the due date for plaintiffs’ summary 

judgment oppositions under the current scheduling order. Plaintiffs’ counsel has indicated 

that the potential for settlement is far greater if he is able to avoid the attorneys’ fees 

associated with preparing not one, but two summary judgment oppositions prior to the 

settlement conference. 

4. Counsel for plaintiffs and both sets of defendants have been diligently meeting 

and conferring on a single joint statement of undisputed facts for use in connection with both 

of the amended summary judgment motions to be filed defendants. The joint statement is 

due this Thursday, January 7, 2010, under the current scheduling order. The meet and confer 

process is taking longer than anticipated (there are actually two separate claimed “removals” 

of the child in this action), and the parties believe that having additional time to work 

together on the joint statement would be helpful in making it as comprehensive and useful as 

possible. This would allow for greatly reduced separate statements of fact. 

5. For these reasons, the parties respectfully request that the Court vacate the 

existing summary judgment hearing date and all related briefing deadlines, and modify the 

current scheduling order as follows: 

Amended Motions for Summary Judgment and 

Parties’ Joint Statement of Undisputed Facts due: January 14, 2010

Summary judgment oppositions due: February 5, 2010

Summary judgment replies due: February 19, 2010

Summary judgment hearing: March 3, 2010, at 10:00 a.m.

The parties request that the existing case management conference date of April 19, 2010 at 

 4:00 p.m. remain intact, but understand if the court wishes to adjust that date as well. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
