JOINT PROPOSED SCHEDULING ORDER AND REQUEST TO CONTINUE EVIDENTIARY HEARING (FIRST REQUEST)
GLORIA M. NAVARRO, District Judge.

1. Hearing. The parties jointly request that the evidentiary hearing currently set for June 28, 2019, be continued to September 20, 2019, to allow the parties additional time to prepare due to unforeseen and unanticipated scheduling concerns. Most pressing, counsel for Petitioner and Respondents have both been scheduled for oral argument in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals at the beginning of June. Counsel for Respondents will appear on June 7, 2019, in Escobar v. Williams, Case No. 18-16417, and counsel for Petitioner on June 12, 2019, in Bellon v. Baker, Case No. 17-17005. These arguments will require time away from this jurisdiction, case files, and impact counsels' respective abilities to prepare for the evidentiary hearing. Additionally, counsel for Petitioner was out of the office for client visits May 23-24, 2019, and a state evidentiary hearing, previously set for May 28, 2019, but ultimately cancelled. Respondents' counsel has also been involved in the training of new deputies, a timing consideration that did not arise until April of 2019. Finally, both counsel have been in contact and working toward a possible resolution that would render an evidentiary hearing unnecessary. In light of these circumstances, counsel respectfully request that the evidentiary hearing be continued to September 20, 2019, at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 7D.
