DONNA M. RYU, Magistrate Judge.

STIPULATION

Defendants COUNTY OF ALAMEDA and DEPUTY SHERIFF G. STEVENS and plaintiff GUILLERMO GUERRERO, by and through their respective attorneys of record, hereby stipulate as follows:

1. By telephone conference held on August 28, 2018, the Settlement Conference before Magistrate Judge Donna M. Ryu was set for November 30, 2018.

2. The parties respectfully request that the Settlement Conference be rescheduled in order to permit the parties to engage in required pre-conference discovery which has been delayed due to the availability of the parties and counsel, and which has inhibited the scheduling of plaintiff's deposition. Absent a continuance, the parties will be unable to meaningfully participate in the conference.

3. For all the good cause reasons stated above, the parties respectfully request this Court continue the Settlement Conference from November 30, 2018 to January 14, 2019. Defense counsel has contacted Courtroom Deputy Doug Merry and was advised of the availability of the new date, January 14, 2019, for the Settlement Conference.

4. The parties were referred for a settlement conference by their assigned Judge (Hon. William H. Alsup) but no current deadline exists to complete same.

5. The parties respectfully request that the Court approve this stipulation and incorporate its terms in an Order.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
