WHEREAS, the defendants CITY OF NOVATO, JOSEPH KREINS, OFFICER THOMAS MACKENZIE, OFFICER MICHAEL DUNN, and OFFICER STEPHANIE COMMISTO have filed a motion to dismiss the claims against them pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule 12(b)(6), and

WHEREAS, the defendants COUNTY OF MARIN, SHERIFF ROBERT T. DOYLE, and DEPUTY RACHEL HAMMER have indicated their intention to also file a motion for dismissal, but have requested an extension to and through October 9, 2012 to do so, and

WHEREAS, the plaintiffs are agreeable to the extension requested by the County of Marin defendants, and all defendants are in turn agreeable to providing the plaintiffs with additional time to respond to the two motions,

(3) Any reply papers in response to plaintiffs' oppositions shall be filed no later than December 7, 2012;

(4) Both motions shall be heard on Thursday, January 10 at 10:00 a.m.; and
