WILLIAM H. ALSUP, District Judge.
Plaintiff Cesar Uribe and Defendant Philip Babienco, by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate to and request that the Court continue the deadline to complete mediation in this matter until June 16, 2015.
Plaintiff Cesar Uribe is a California prisoner alleging violation of his federal civil rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, and medical malpractice, related to his dental care at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad, California.
On September 16, 2014, the Court granted in part, and denied in part, Defendants' motion for summary judgment, and referred the case to the Pro Se Prisoner Mediation Program. The Court stayed all proceedings pending a mediation session to occur within 120 days. ECF No. 34.
Mediation was set for January 7, 2015. All counsel appeared on that date, but Plaintiff, who is incarcerated, was unavailable to participate telephonically, as anticipated by the Court and parties. Plaintiff's counsel indicated a desire to take the deposition of Defendant Babienco, and the parties agreed to return for further status conference with Judge Vadas.
A status conference was held on March 17, 2015. The parties, and the Court, agreed to a further mediation session on June 16, 2015, the first available date for the parties and Court.
Given that inmate Uribe was unavailable at the last mediation, along with the additional discovery that has occurred, the parties agree that a further mediation session is appropriate in this matter. Therefore, the parties request the Court continue the deadline to complete mediation up to, and including, June 16, 2015.
The Court, having considered the parties' Stipulated Motion for Administrative Relief, Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 7-11 and 16-2(d), for continuance of the deadline to complete mediation, hereby orders as follows:
