DECLARATION OF AMIE MCTAVISH

I, Amie McTavish, do hereby declare as follows:

1. I am an attorney at law duly licensed to practice before the Courts of the State of 

California and the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California.

2. I am an associate with the law firm of Angelo, Kilday & Kilduff. I am familiar 

with the pleadings and discovery in this case. 

3. On May 4, 2015 my office received a deposition notice for “The City of Lodi” to 

commence on May 27, 2015.

4. The notice sought a deponent knowledgeable in eleven subjects in connection 

with the property that is the subject of this litigation. 

5. Wally Sandelin, the Public Works Director for the City of Lodi, is the person best 

qualified for this deposition. 

6. Due to vacations and scheduling conflicts, the May 27th date was not feasible for 

this deposition to take place.

7. The next date Mr. Sandelin and all counsel will be available for deposition is 

August 13, 2015.

8. I believe these circumstances establish Good Cause for a minimal modification of 

the existing scheduling order.

9. No other modification of the scheduling order is being sought. 

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States, that the forgoing is 

true and correct, that I have personal knowledge of the facts stated above, and that, if sworn as a 

witness, I would be competent to testify thereto. 

Executed this 23rd day of June 2015, at Sacramento, California.

/s/ Amie McTavish
