1. The Joint Scheduling Conference was held on October 18, 2013.

2. The Parties have engaged in the exchange of written discovery consisting of the 

initial Rule 26 disclosures on November 15, 2013.

3. The Parties have met and conferred regarding various issues regarding discovery 

in this matter in an effort to informally resolve various issues. 

4. On June 4, 2014, Defense Counsel learned that he will be unavailable, beginning 

the week of June 25, 2014, due to surgery and has been informed that he will need to be out of 

the office for between 2 to 8 weeks after June 25, 2014.

5. Recently, a substantial issue has arisen regarding the source of the information 

and the manner in which is entered into Kern CJIS. The Parties have both scheduled depositions 

regarding this issue, some of which are scheduled around or after June 25, 2014. Discovery on 

this issue is continuing and may be critical in this matter.

6. The Parties need to continue discovery, due to the in ability to complete the 

depositions regarding the Kern CJIS issue and of other persons most knowledgeable before the 

pending non-expert discovery cutoff.

7. Given that the non-expert discovery cutoff is currently August 1, 2014, this 

would leave no opportunity for follow up non-expert discovery after the completion of the party 

depositions under the current time constraints.

8. Based upon the foregoing, good cause exists for a two (2) month continuance of 

the discovery cut-off and all subsequent dates, including the trial date. 

9. In light of the foregoing, the Parties hereby stipulate that good cause exists to 

modify the operative case management scheduling order [D.t. Doc. 15] as follows:

The Parties respectfully request that non-expert discovery and all subsequent deadlines 

shall be continued for approximately, but not less than, two (2) months as set forth below:
