Case No. 1:13-CV-00083-LJO-SKO

STIPULATION AND REQUEST TO 

CONTINUE APRIL 18, 2013 INITIAL 

SCHEDULING CONFERENCE; ORDER 

Date: April 18, 2013 

Time: 9:45 a.m. 

Courtroom: 7 

Judge: Hon. Sheila K. Oberto 

The parties to the above-captioned action, by and through their respective attorneys of record, 

hereby stipulate as follows and request that the Court enter an order pursuant to their stipulation: 

1. That the Initial Scheduling Conference currently scheduled for April 18, 2013, at 9:45 

a.m., be continued to June 25, 2013, at 9:45 a.m., or to a time as soon thereafter as may be convenient 

for the Court. 

The grounds for this stipulation are that two other actions arising from the same underlying 

factual circumstances are currently pending. One, Thao et al v. City of Merced et al, was filed in the 

Superior Court in and for the County of Merced (case no. CV002599) on April 10, 2012; the defendants

in that case, who in part are the defendants in the present case, have answered the complaint and 

discovery is ongoing. The other action, Luh Xiong v. City of Merced et al, was filed in this Court on 

January 23, 2013 (case no. 1:13-cv-00111-AWI-SAB); to the parties’ knowledge, the defendants in that 

case, who in part are the defendants in this case, have not been served. The Luh Xiong matter is not 

presently at issue, although this Court’s PACER system indicates that an initial scheduling conference 

is scheduled in that case for April 30, 2013. The parties’ thus request the above continuance in order to 

allow time for the Luh Xiong case to become at issue and to explore options for relating and/or 

consolidating some or all of the proceedings in all three actions. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
