JOINT STIPULATION TO CONTINUE
STATUS CONFERENCE AND
[PROPOSED] ORDER
Judge: The Hon. William B. Shubb
Plaintiff Pablo Carranza and Defendants Toby Douglas, Director of the Department of Health Care Services and the State of California Department of Health Care Services (collectively, the Department) through their attorneys of record, file this joint stipulation to continue the status (pretrial scheduling) conference from April 1, 2013, at 2:00 p.m., by at least three weeks to a new and later date and time convenient for the Court.
1. The parties have been exchanging settlement proposals and are now even closer to reaching agreement on the final terms of the settlement. Based on these ongoing settlement negotiations, the parties previously stipulated that the Department would have up until and including March 29, 2013, to file its responsive pleading to the complaint herein and the Court granted that requested extension of time. The status conference is, however, currently set for April 1, 2013.
2. Accordingly, to provide the parties with the additional time to finalize the settlement, the parties jointly stipulate that the status conference be continued from April 1, 2013, at 2:00 p.m., by at least three weeks to a new and later date convenient for the Court.
