STIPULATION AND ORDER MODIFYING SCHEDULING ORDER

CASE NO. 2:15-cv-02368 MCE-DB 1

sf-3692214

STIPULATION

Plaintiffs, four homeless individuals residing in Manteca, California, commenced this 

action in November 2015. (ECF No. 1.) Defendant City of Manteca answered the complaint on 

December 7, 2015. (ECF 14.) On March 7, 2016, the Court entered a Pretrial Scheduling Order. 

(ECF No. 19.) The parties now seek to modify three dates in the Pretrial Scheduling Order. 

There is good cause for the proposed modification.

The parties have, since almost the inception of the action, been engaged in efforts to 

resolve the matter informally. Those efforts have included numerous phone calls among counsel, 

the exchange of documents, an in-person meeting with Manteca officials, and the exchange of 

multiple drafts of a written settlement agreement. Those efforts are ongoing.

In light of the foregoing, to conserve the resources of the Court and the parties, the parties 

stipulate, subject to Court approval, to modify three deadlines in the Pretrial Scheduling Order as 

follows:

1. The parties respectfully request that the discovery cut-off be extended from September 

1, 2016 to December 1, 2016;

2. The Parties respectfully request that the deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses be 

extended from November 1, 2016, to January 3, 2017;

3. The parties respectfully request that the Settlement Conference scheduled before Judge 

Allison Claire on September 22, 2016, at 9:00 a.m., and the associated September 15, 2016, 

deadline to submit settlement conference statements, be vacated. If the parties are unable to 

resolve the case by December 1, 2016, they shall contact the Court to reschedule. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.

ORDER

In accordance with the foregoing stipulation, and good cause appearing, the fact discovery 

cut-off in this matter is hereby extended from September 1, 2016 to December 1, 2016. In 

addition, the deadline for disclosure of expert witnesses is continued from November 1, 2016 to 

January 3, 2017. Finally, the Settlement Conference scheduled before Judge Allison Claire on 

September 22, 2016, at 9:00 a.m., and the associated September 15, 2016, deadline to submit 

settlement conference statements, is vacated pending the parties’ informal efforts to resolve this 

matter. If that parties are unable to reach settlement by December 1, 2016, they are directed to 

contact Judge Claire’s chambers to reschedule.

All other dates in the Court’s March 7, 2016 Pretrial Scheduling Order remain in full force 

and effect.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
