STIPULATION AND ORDER AMENDING CAPTION AND PRETRIAL SCHEDULING ORDER

MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

All parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree to amend the caption, and the Pretrial Scheduling Order, as follows:

This Court dismissed Defendants Tulare County and Corizon Health, Inc., and their employees from this action. (Doc. 61). The parties therefore stipulate and agree to amend the caption to provide for the correct listing of remaining Defendants in this matter, as set forth on the caption of this stipulation.

Further, the parties have agreed to an early mediation with the Honorable Raul A. Ramirez (Ret.), based only on the exchange of voluminous paper discovery, before conducting depositions. The only mediation date that worked with the calendars of the parties, counsel, and Judge Ramirez, was January 12, 2016. Trial in this matter is scheduled to begin March 13, 2017, more than a year from now. To accommodate the mediation, the parties propose amending the Pretrial Scheduling Order. This proposed amendment would not impact the trial or pretrial conference dates.

The current fact discovery cutoff is March 14, 2016. To conserve the time and resources of the parties, and limit attorneys' fees and costs incurred by all parties, the parties jointly request that the Pretrial Scheduling Order (Doc. 64) be amended as follows:

ORDER

It is HEREBY ORDERED that the caption in this case and the Pretrial Scheduling Order be amended in accordance with the foregoing stipulation.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
