STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING DISCOVERY CUT-OFF
SHEILA K. OBERTO, Magistrate Judge.
STIPULATION
The parties to this Stipulation are Plaintiff HARVEY HOLCOMB ("Plaintiff" or "Holcomb") and Defendants CITY OF MODESTO, JERRY RAMAR, JAIME COX, BEN KROUTIL, JOSEPH BOTTOMS, TOM CICCARELLI and JEANNE CHANDLER ("Defendants"), collectively, ("Parties").
WHEREAS, the Parties have been working cooperatively to complete the necessary discovery by the current deadline of July 1, 2015. Defendants agreed that they would supplement their responses to written discovery that had been answered by former counsel and that plaintiff would depose some or all of the individually named defendants after that supplementation. Two defendants are no longer employed by the City of Modesto and counsel for defendants had an intervening trial, so supplemental responses were served on plaintiff on June 23, 2015, thus precluding depositions within the current schedule. Accordingly, the parties are requesting a brief continuance of the discovery cut-off and expert disclosures to August 15, 2015. The Parties are not requesting that the dispositive motions date, pretrial conference, or trial be continued and do not believe that the brief extension requested will interfere in any way with the trial date of January 12, 2016.
The discovery that plaintiff will do is the depositions of the defendants. The parties will also meet and confer regarding potential disputes regarding the written discovery that will be resolved by the new deadline.
WHEREFORE, the Parties agree and stipulate that the scheduling order be amended as follows:
Case Management Event: Prior-Operative Date- Stipulated-Deadline: Deadline: Non-Expert Discovery Deadline July 1, 2015 August 15, 2015 Expert Disclosures July 10, 2015 August 15, 2015 Rebuttal-Supplemental Expert Disclosures July 24, 2015 August 28, 2015 Expert Discovery Deadline August 7, 2015 September 11, 2015
All other dates remain as set.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
