STIPULATION AND ORDER AMENDING THE SCHEDULING ORDER
IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED between the parties, through their respective counsel, and ordered by this Court, that the Scheduling Order, Doc. No. 44, be amended and that the discovery deadlines, dispositive, and non-dispositive motion filing deadline be rescheduled. There is good cause for extending these dates. First, given defense counsel's need to transition the Honorable Rosemary T. McGuire cases to other attorney's within the firm and the resulting heavy caseload during this transition period scheduling discovery became problematic. In hindsight it appears that the deadlines agreed to in the Scheduling Order were a bit too optimistic. Also, drafting the stipulation and protective order so as to contain mutually agreeable language protecting confidential City of Fresno Police Department policies and procedure and confidential training records of Defendant and along with providing these confidential materials to Plaintiff's counsel prior to his conducting of the deposition of Defendant has caused some delays in the discovery process. Furthermore, the proposed amended deadlines do not alter the pretrial conference nor the trial date as agreed to in the Scheduling Order, Doc. No. 44.
Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED:
