STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER CONTINUING SCHEDULING CONFERENCE

BARBARA A. McAULIFFE, Magistrate Judge.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16(b)(4), which allows a court to modify a conference schedule for good cause, Plaintiff Nicholas Honchariw, Trustee, Honchariw Family Trust and Defendants County of Stanislaus and Board of Supervisors of the County of Stanislaus ("Parties") hereby stipulate and request that this Court continue the Mandatory Scheduling Conference by at least 30 days.

The Mandatory Scheduling Conference is currently scheduled for November 16, 2016. This date requires the Parties to meet and confer by October 27, 2016 and file a Joint Scheduling Report by November 8, 2016. However, Defendants have moved to dismiss the case, and that motion will be heard on November 7, 2016. Resolution of this motion will inform the need for and scope of the conference between the Parties and the contents of the Joint Scheduling Report.

To reduce inefficiencies and the burden on the Parties and this Court, the Parties respectfully request that the Court order continue the Mandatory Scheduling Conference for at least 30 days. The Court's ruling on Defendants' Motion to Dismiss will either moot the need for the Parties to meet and confer or will inform the Parties' conference and preparation of a Joint Scheduling Report.

[PROPOSED] ORDER

For good cause shown, the Mandatory Scheduling Conference scheduled for November 16, 2016, is continued to Wednesday, December 21, 2016 at 9:00 AM in courtroom 8 (BAM) before Judge McAuliffe.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
