STIPULATION AND ORDER TO DISMISS OF CALIFORNIA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ANY CLAIMS OF INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS BY PLAINTIFFS

ANTHONY W. ISHII, District Judge.

TO THE COURT AND ALL INTERESTED PARTIES:

On October 14, 2014, via email, and again on January 22, 2015, in person, counsel for Plaintiffs, Greg Garrotto, and counsel for the named Defendants, Allen Christiansen, met and conferred regarding a stipulation and order to dismiss certain parties and issues from this litigation.

On October 14, 2014, Plaintiffs' counsel, Greg Garrotto, agreed to dismiss the California City Police Department from this matter, having already named the City of California City.

Additional discussions were conducted regarding that fact that the caption page of Plaintiffs' complaint identifies a fourth cause of action for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress ("IIED") that is not alleged in the complaint itself. As such, on January 22, 2015, Plaintiffs' counsel, Greg Garrotto, also agreed to dismiss any claim for IIED.

Defendants agree that these matters should be dismissed to narrow the issues as this case progresses.

As such, GOOD CAUSE EXISTS for dismissal of the California City Police Department as a Defendant in this matter and for dismissal of any claim for Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress.

ORDER

After consideration of the parties' joint stipulation to dismiss the California City Police Department as a Defendant and to dismiss any claim of Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress by Plaintiffs and with GOOD CAUSE SHOWING, the court GRANTS the stipulation of the parties.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED:

IT IS SO ORDERED.
