JOINT STIPULATION TO CONTINUE MANDATORY SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE; [PROPOSED ORDER]

JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.

COME NOW, Plaintiff, KEANU ETHAN CAMPOS, by and through his Guardian ad Litem, Deniz Gonzalez and Defendants, COUNTY OF KERN, DEPUTY JASON AYALA an DEPUTY JOSHUA BATHE, who have met and conferred through their respective attorneys of record, and now make this joint stipulated request of the Court:

REPRESENTATIONS AND JOINT STIPULATION AND REQUEST:

1. The Mandatory Settlement Conference ("MSC") in this matter is set before Magistrate Judge, Jennifer L. Thurston, on January 11, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.;

2. Defendants anticipate the filing of a motion for summary judgement ("MSJ") on all issues raised by the First Amended Complaint, on or before February 10, 2016;

3. Plaintiff and Defendants have timely exchanged settlement demands and offers, but believe that a settlement conference, prior to the resolution of the issues to be raised in the anticipated MSJ, will not be productive and therefore, the case currently is not postured for meaningful negotiations or potential settlement;

4. Therefore, Plaintiff and Defendants mutually invoke the provision made in the Scheduling Order (Doc. No. 26, p. 6, Section X, fn. 3) and stipulate that the Court continue the MSC set for January 11, 2016 to a date/time convenient to the Court sometime after March 23, 2016, which is the last date possible for hearing of the MSJ. The parties suggest that the MSC be continued to the following date:

[PROPOSED] ORDER

1. The settlement conference is CONTINUED to April 1, 2016 at 9:30 a.m.

2. Counsel SHALL comply with the scheduling order related to the settlement conference (Doc. 26 at 6-7).
