Defendants.

CASE NO.: 3:15-cv-2921 MMC

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER TO CONTINUE DISCOVERY 

DEADLINES AND TRIAL DATE

This Stipulation is entered into by and among Plaintiff Daniel Sanchez and Defendants City 

of Ukiah, City of Ukiah Police Department, and Tyler James Schapmire, individually and in his 

capacity as an officer for the City of Ukiah (“Defendants”), by and through their respective counsel. 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, the Parties hereby submit their stipulated request to continue 

discovery cut-offs and other pending deadlines for four months, for the following reasons:

1. Plaintiff Daniel Sanchez has been incarcerated until recently and has been unable to 

participate fully in the case, conduct meaningful discovery, or participate in mediation. Due to Mr. 

Sanchez’s incarceration, he has not yet appeared for deposition. 

2. Defendants’ previous attorney of record, Steven C. Mitchell, Shareholder in the firm 

of Geary, Shea, O’Donnell, Grattan & Mitchell, P.C., passed away suddenly approximately one

month ago.

3. Defendants’ current attorney of record, Raymond J. Fullerton, also a Shareholder in 

the firm of Geary, Shea, O’Donnell, Grattan & Mitchell, P.C., has been in the case for only a short 

time and has assumed responsibility for numerous additional files due to the passing of Mr. 

Mitchell.

3. The Parties have conferred and agree that it is in the interests of justice to continue

the discovery cut-offs in this case, to allow enlarged time for the adequate preparation of discovery 

responses, scheduling of depositions, and retention of experts. 

4. The non-expert discovery cut-off is currently set for April 18, 2016 and the expert 

discovery cut-off is June 17, 2016, with experts to be named by May 9, 2016.

5. The Parties request a four-month extension for all discovery cut-offs, and request 

that the new cut-off dates be: August 18, 2016 for non-expert discovery; October 18, 2016 for 

expert discovery; and September 9, 2016 to name experts.

6. Given the enlarged time for discovery, the Parties request that the Trial Date, 

currently set for a five day trial to begin on October 3, 2016, be continued to a time in January, as 

the Court’s schedule permits, with the Pretrial Conference, currently set for September 20, 2016, to 

be continued accordingly.

7. The Parties also request that other pending deadlines be continued to conform to the 

enlarged discovery schedule and continued trial date. Specifically, the Parties request: that the 

dispositive motion filing deadline, currently set for July 1, 2016, be continued to October 28, 2016; 

that the status conference statement, current due by July 8, 2016, be due on November 4, 2016; that 

the next Status Conference, currently scheduled for July 15, 2016, be held November 11, 2016; and 

that the deadline to meet and confer, August 15, 2016, be continued to November 28, 2016.

8. Finally, due to Plaintiff’s incarceration, the Parties were unable to complete private 

mediation by the end of February, as agreed to at the previous Case Management Conference, and 

the Parties request the Court’s permission to complete private mediation by the end of June.
