STIPULATION RE A CONTINUANCE ON THE DEADLINE TO FILE A RESPONSE TO THE COURT'S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE RE DISMISSAL;

ORDER RE SAME

HAYWOOD S. GILLIAM, Jr., District Judge.

Plaintiff JENNIFER ARNOLD and defendants the COUNTY OF ALAMEDA AND SHERIFF GREGORY J. AHERN, by and through their respective counsel, do hereby stipulate as follows:

The parties request a short continuance, until September 14, 2016, on the current deadline of August 29th, 2016 for any response to the court's Order to Show Cause re dismissal, issued on August 24, 2016. This request is based on the fact that the parties have recently reached a settlement in principle, and need additional time in which to finalize and execute the settlement agreement and release. These efforts are hampered by the fact that plaintiff's counsel is currently out of the country on vacation until September 7th. The parties anticipate that they will finalize and execute a settlement agreement and release by September 14th, and that once that is done, they will immediately execute and file stipulation for dismissal with prejudice of this entire action. The parties wish to further advise the court that counsel for the defense will herself be out of the country from September 24 through October 16th, 2016, thus a much later deadline will not be practical.

Therefore, the parties joint request that the court issue an order continuing the deadline for a response to the Order to Show Cause from August 29, 2016 to September 14, 2016.

ORDER PURSUANT TO STIPULATION

SO ORDERED.
