STIP. & [PROPOSED] ORDER RE: EXTENSION OF DISCOVERY DEADLINE 2:19-cv-00696-JAM-EFB

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Court’s June 24, 2019 case management order (ECF No. 10) 

(the “Court’s Pre-Trial Order”)) the current deadline for discovery in this matter is May 1, 2020;

WHEREAS on March 16, 2020, due to the spread and threat of the COVID-19 virus, 

Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Marin County, San Francisco County, Santa Clara 

County and Santa Cruz County all issued orders requiring the sheltering in place and nonoperation of all non-essential individuals/businesses;

WHEREAS on March 19, 2020 Placer County, Sacramento County issued similar shelter 

in place orders, and the State of California issued a similar Shelter in Place Order (the “State SIP 

Order”). 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff, Plaintiff’s counsel and Defendant’s counsel, as well as numerous 

potential third party witnesses in this matter reside/are located in California, including in the 

counties referenced above. 

WHEREAS given these unanticipated orders, including the State SIP Order, and the 

challenge such orders pose to discovery, the Parties stipulate and agree through their counsel of 

record, that the current May 1, 2020 discovery deadline set forth in the Court’s Pre-Trial Order 

shall be extended from May 1, 2020 until May 15, 2020.

FURTHERMORE, for the same reasons the Parties, subject to the Court’s approval, 

agree that the in person meet and confer directive provided for by the Court’s Pre-Trial Order 

may be satisfied by a video meet and confer over remote video-conference technology.
