JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY 

INITIAL PRETRIAL SCHEDULING 

ORDER AND ORDER 

 

 Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 143(a)(1) and subject to the Court’s approval, the parties 

hereto jointly stipulate to modify the Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order and Order entered on 

January 12, 2022 by the Court (Document #3) as detailed below. This is the first request to 

modify the case schedule. 

 Counsel have engaged in discussions regarding alternative dispute resolution and have 

agreed to mediate with Hon. Maria-Elena James (ADR Services, Inc.). The parties have met and 

conferred in good faith, and have elected to proceed with targeted initial discovery, focusing on 

the anticipated liability issues which require some initial depositions. The parties plan to then

proceed to mediation with Judge James, while deferring the balance of the discovery until after 

seeing whether the matter can be resolved in mediation. The parties believe that this framework 

will potentially save on the considerable expense which will likely be incurred in full discovery 

for this law enforcement shooting case, thereby fostering potential early resolution. 

 There is no trial date set in this matter. 

 The parties believe that the below schedule will allow them to complete the necessary 

initial discovery, proceed to mediation, and then – if the matter doesn’t resolve - complete the 

remaining discovery.
