Case No. C08-01163 MEJ 

Trial Date: Not set 

The undersigned parties, through counsel, STIPULATE and AGREE and jointly request 

modification of this Court’s Orders concerning and setting dates for discovery cut-offs in the above 

matter. 

The parties make this request based on the following circumstances: 

 1. Deposition discovery has only commenced in this matter, which has been joined with 

Case No. C-08-01163 MEJ, JAMAL JACKSON, et al., v. THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN 

FRANCISCO, et al., for the purposes of discovery. Preliminary written discovery has been 

completed. To date, only the depositions of Plaintiff Shawn Myers, and the deposition of Plaintiff 

Jamal Jackson have been taken. The depositions of defendant officers, of Plaintiffs Sarah Myers and

Jannie Mendez, and of numerous percipient witnesses are scheduled for April 2009. The parties 

engaged in a settlement conference in late January of 2010, where it became evident that settlement 

negotiations would not be fruitful until depositions discovery transpired.

 2. Counsel for Plaintiffs will be unavailable from April 5 through April 16, 2010. On the 

week of April 5, he is chaperoning his 10-year-old son’s class trip to Yosemite; during the week of 

April 11 through April 16, he will be on vacation with his family for Spring Break. These plans have 

been long set, and paid for, with no ability to secure a replacement chaperone nor recover the 

vacation expense. 

 3. Counsel for Defendants is set for trial in Federal Court to begin on April 26, 2010.

This trial is expected to last approximately two weeks. 

 4. Three of the percipient witnesses are located out of state, and the parties are in the 

process of meeting and conferring regarding the taking of these persons’ depositions. One of the 

witnesses will be traveling to California in May. The parties would like to take that deposition while 

the witness is in California to reduce the associated expenses. 

 5. One percipient witness is currently in boot camp for the United States Army and is not 

available for deposition. He will complete his basic training in July, at which time he will be 

available for deposition.

 6. The parties agree that more discovery is necessary to adequately evaluate their 

respective cases, including which experts will be necessary should the matter proceed to trial. They 

require additional time for the purpose of conducting this discovery. 

 For the aforementioned reasons, the parties jointly request that the Court amend its 

Scheduling Order as follows:: 

• June 25, 2010: Last day for expert witness disclosures 

• July 9, 2010: Rebuttal expert witness disclosure 

• July 23, 2010: Close of fact and expert discovery 

• August 19, 2010: Last day to file dispositive motions 

• 10 a.m., September 23, 2010: Dispositive Motion Hearing
