AND PROPOSED ORDER 

 

The parties in this matter, Plaintiff Nancy Nieves and Defendant County of San Mateo, hereby 

submit this Joint Stipulated Request for Order Continuing Initial Case Management Conference, 

currently scheduled for March 10, 2015. The parties request a new date for the Initial Case Management 

Conference approximately 90 days out from the current date of March 10, 2015 for the following 

reasons:

attorneys’ fees if she prevails on the merits of the case. In order to facilitate more effective settlement 

discussions, the parties seek to avoid incurring unnecessary attorneys’ fees at this time; 

3. The parties seek to serve the interests of judicial economy and eliminate any unnecessary

accompany it such as the filing of a Joint Initial Case Management Statement until after the parties 

conclude their initial settlement discussions. The Initial Case Management Statement is currently due on
