Opinion
STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO STAY THIS ACTION FOR A PERIOD OF FOUR WEEKS AND TO CONTINUE THE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE SCHEDULED FOR JULY 8, 2015
JON S. TIGAR, District Judge.
Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiff Raymond J. Manzanillo and Defendants N. Brown, Gregory D. Lewis, J. Hallock, K. McGuyer, Matthew Cate, and T.A. Wood (collectively "the Parties") by and through their respective counsel hereby stipulate and request that the Court (1) stay this action for a period of four weeks from the date of the Court's Order granting this request; (2) continue the case management conference currently scheduled for July 8, 2015, to a date convenient for the Court that follows the end of the stay; and (3) continue the current July 1, 2015, deadline for the Parties to file case management statements.
Plaintiff's counsel is currently working with personnel at Corcoran State Prison to gain access to Mr. Manzanillo. That process has taken longer than expected, and Plaintiff's counsel has not yet been able to meet or speak with Mr. Manzanillo; nor has counsel yet been able to secure copies of documents produced to Mr. Manzanillo in discovery thus far. The proposed stay will require the Court to reschedule the July 8 case management conference and extend the deadline for the Parties to file a case management statement, but it should not otherwise have a significant effect on the schedule for this case. Moreover, the requested stay will preserve both the Parties' and the Court's resources, as it will allow Plaintiff's counsel the opportunity to confer with Mr. Manzanillo and review the materials already produced by Defendants before participating in a case management conference or any additional litigation practice.
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
